The upcoming Call of Duty installment has an annoying phone number verification requirement

In order to hold players accountable for their actions, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II will require players to register with a phone number on Battle.net. The game will be released on October 28th, later this month.

It’s a recurrence of the practice that caused problems for Overwatch 2 players last week, according to PCGamer. The upcoming Call of Duty shooter is listed as one of three games that “require you to add a phone number to your Battle.net account” to play, alongside Overwatch 2 and 2019’s Modern Warfare.
