On the verge of incoming information, the upcoming game Modern Warfare 2 will not require Battle.net when purchased on Steam. Details are available here.
Call of Duty, the last game of the series and eagerly awaited by the players: Modern Warfare 2 Steam It was not clear what kind of action it would take. Because this was one of the expected answers since Microsoft announced that it was in a buying process for Activision Blizzard.
What will happen to Battle.net if Modern Warfare 2 is acquired on Steam?
After Microsoft announced its intention to buy Activision Blizzard, almost most fans of the two companies were already predicting that the new main games would eventually come to Steam as well. This information was later confirmed, but some of the players were still waiting for Battle.net, Activision’s leading gaming platform, to somehow intervene.
One guess was that Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 could bring a simplified launcher version that will work alongside Steam, just as Battle.net did with EA Origins. However, the latest information proves that this will not be the case. According to CharlieIntelThe Steam version of Modern Warfare 2 will not use Battle.net, instead it will use Activision ID. In other words, a match will be made between Steam accounts and Battle.net.
It’s also worth noting that by pre-linking their Steam account to their Activision ID, games can get a number of extra Modern Warfare 2 pre-order bonuses in Warzone and Vanguard games. So players are encouraged to link their accounts early. This is actually a good opportunity to play the game without any problems when it comes out at the end of October.
In the meantime, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 pre-order prices were reflected on the game platforms with high pricing and were criticized quite harshly by the players. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Standard Edition will be released for 1.049 TL, and Vault Editon Edition will be released for 1.499 TL.
