Call of Duty: Modern WarfareCall of Duty: Modern Warfare Glitch Won't Wipe Your Progress

No need to hunker down.

Matt Purslow AvatarBy Matt PurslowUpdated: Feb 14, 2020 7:56pm UTC74 commentsAn error message displayed to Call of Duty: Modern Warfare players, warning that rank and unlock progress must be reset, is not as severe as it first appears.Players have reported the appearance of a concerning error message that reads “Your data is corrupt or didn’t download properly. You must reset your rank and unlocks to continue,” accompanied by yes or no options. For anyone with a long-term Modern Warfare career this is a terrifying prospect, but Infinity Ward has assured players that the situation is not as dire as it seems, and that progress will not be lost.

Infinity Ward has put out a statement regarding the error, explaining that if players accepted this reset, their ranks and unlocks were not actually lost. Instead, stats for combat record, leaderboards, custom classes and operators would have reset instead. Battle pass progression, weapon unlocks, XP, ranks, and other such elements will not have been affected in the manner the message suggested.

<a href="http://www.ign.com/articles/2003/10/28/call-of-duty-review">Reviewed by: Dan Adams</a><br>  Date:October 28, 2003<br>  Many of the ideas found in Call of Duty may have been seen first in other titles, but have been honed down to a fine point in this one. If you're looking for a thrill ride that gives you heart problems, makes your ears flap for joy, and brings you as close to a World War II experience as you're likely to get right now (or would ever really want to get), this is your game.  View 57 Images  <a href="http://www.ign.com/articles/2004/09/14/call-of-duty-united-offensive-review">Reviewed by: Tom McNamara</a><br>  Date: September 14, 2004<br>  United Offensive represents some the best of what a heavily scripted game can do. It probably also represents the most that can be squeezed out of the venerable Quake III engine. The first mission of the British campaign has you manning bomber turrets, and you've probably seen the screenshots and video clips by now: it's gorgeous. They've really outdone themselves. Still, in apparently attempting to trump the original in drama, they too often end up pummeling the player with an avalanche of combat targets. If you dug Call of Duty, you'll dig United Offensive, but get comfortable with the Quicksave and Quickload keys.  <a href="http://www.ign.com/articles/2004/11/16/call-of-duty-finest-hour">Reviewed by: Hillary Goldstein</a><br>  Date: November 16, 2004<br>  Call of Duty: Finest Hour has been "consolized" and turned from a somewhat challenging and often intense PC first-person shooter into a bland, run-and-gun console pop-gun game. It's certainly not bad and is enjoyable throughout, but it just doesn't excel in a single area. The brilliant concept of following three individual stories of the Allied campaign against the Nazis has been watered down with too many perspectives and no cohesive or interesting story. I cared nothing for any of the characters and felt like I was just going through the motions the entire game. A lack of checkpoints in the majority of levels is questionable and sometimes frustrating. Finest Hour had the pedigree to become the finest console World War II game, but in the end fails to bring any spark or intensity to a story about courage and sacrifice.<a href="http://www.ign.com/articles/2005/11/16/call-of-duty-2-3">Reviewed by: Douglass C. Perry</a><br>  Date: November 16, 2005<br>  Call of Duty 2 rises above the competitors with an intense attention to the minutiae that grips onto you and doesn't let go. In my humble opinion, this is the best Xbox 360 launch title, hands-down.  <a href="http://www.ign.com/articles/2005/10/25/call-of-duty-2-4">Reviewed by Tom Mcnamara</a><br>October 25, 2005<br>Call of Duty is part of a proud, if tired, subgenre of shooters, and once again it manages to rise above the weariness of the material to find something not only fresh but visceral and immediate. It looks great, it sounds awesome, and it provides both meaty single-player and multiplayer.
The error message, which occured due to a problem with the latest update, has since been removed from the game. However, Infinity Ward has yet to deploy the fix for the error that caused this message to be displayed. The developer warns that when a fix is deployed, statistics may have to be rolled back to the state they were before the latest update. While that still means your unlock and rank progress is safe, any recent changes to your combat record may be undone with the fix.For more Call of Duty, check out how Modern Warfare 2 foreshadowed the Piccadilly Circus mission in the new Modern Warfare, and the news of the 3v3 Gunfight mode coming to the FPS reboot.
