Uninstall MW2 and Warzone

If MW2 and Warzone are already installed, try uninstalling MW2 and Warzone and see if the installation process gets faster for MW3. This method has worked for us and the game is now running properly!

Restart Call of Duty HQ

Modern Warfare 3 is part of the Call of Duty HQ, and you can restart it if you're having problems with Modern Warfare 3 and other games it holds. It includes a slow installation process of the game!

Restart Device
