Preliminary information
You are probably wondering why you should create an Activision account ? The most obvious answer to this question is, as I mentioned, precisely the possibility of being able to automatically transfer the game progress of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and Call of Duty: Warzone from one game platform to another. Therefore, having this type of account available and logging in at the beginning of each game session, you can automatically resume from where you previously left off on another console or PC: in short, a nice convenience.
In this way the progress will be saved directly on Activision’s servers and if for some reason the game data on your platform were to be damaged, you can recover them at any time thanks to your account. The same account will also allow you to play multiplayer with other players, even those who have a different gaming platform available to you. Ideal, therefore, if you have a group of friends who are passionate about this developer’s titles.
In addition, from the Social section of the account you can also add other players to immediately start matches with them. Just enter their Activision ID which is a name that the system automatically assigns to your account once the registration process has been completed. The Activision ID consists of a name followed by the pound sign (#) and a series of numbers .
When you start playing Call of Duty: Warzone and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, you’ll need to create an account. The account will also be useful to you as you will be able to periodically receive special virtual rewards offered directly by Activision. In addition, you may choose to receive promotional and informational emails with news and invitations to events related to Activision’s games on the address associated with your account.
