Are you unable to (re)download the SpecOps mode for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare? Then try this now. This should work for most users.
This is the problem: The SpecOps mode cannot currently be played by some players. This is frustrating, as it unlocks several blueprints and operators. The culprit is an annoying bug known in the community as the re-download bug.
What exactly does the bug do? Some users cannot currently download the corresponding package from their respective platform store. The download may queue up, but then nothing happens for some players. Or the download starts, but shows corrupted data after a while and cannot be completed.
For others, the package is simply not recognized, and they are redirected to the store, where they only find a placeholder. In short: SpecOps could not be downloaded or launched.
Finally, there is a solution: The solution came without much announcement in the form of a new SpecialOps pack download. This is nearly 16 GB in size and has been available on all platforms since January 26.
What you need to do: Anyone stuck with the old download and still unable to download SpecOps must cancel the old download and remove it from the queue or library if it is still queued there. You can recognize the old one by its requirement of nearly 12 GB of space.
Then go to the respective platform store, search for Modern Warfare, and navigate to the addons. There, you can select and download the new 16 GB SpecOps pack.
The (repeated) download should now finally work again, and SpecOps can finally (once again) be played afterwards.
Please note: Even though this method has already helped many affected users, there are still some players for whom it unfortunately does not work. They still see a corrupted download or data.
According to some players, deleting the profile and save in Modern Warfare may help. While this would mean losing single-player progress, all multiplayer achievements and progress would remain intact. This has also helped some.
Here is what is new in Modern Warfare: Besides the repeated download for the operator pack, Modern Warfare recently received the new update 1.13. We have summarized all the important details here for you:
