Work around to launch MW3 directly

[InColius]

Has anyone found a way yet to launch straight into MW3 multiplayer without having to launch through the Black Ops 6 client?

I hate the way they've done it this time around that with the launch of Black Ops 6 that even if you don't own Black Ops 6 you are forced to install a 60 GB launcher just for Black Ops 6 that you have to launch MW3 through it is so tedious I know they did it so you will be motivated to buy BLOPS6 but all it makes me want to do is uninstall CoD completely and switch to Delta Force the moment it comes out

I would be interested in continuing to play MW3 once Delta Force comes out but Activision just keeps adding more and more reasons for me to quit playing MW3, such a strange business strategy

Sadly no, I tried everything to find a way to bypass the launcher, what's funny is that I own bo6 on battlenet and mw3 on steam. Now I have dual HQ, and I know after bo7 or mw4 launches bo6 will be separated from the direct launch option and will be put in the same place as mw3. God forbids the greed of Activision fr.

Yeah it really sucks. I hate this unified launcher nonsense it brings 0 advantages and it means now whenever I launch MW3 I have to do 2 update restarts. First I launch CoD HQ (BO6 in essence) and that then blocks me from continuing until I restart BO6 to apply the updates. I do that. Then I finally go through all the menus to get to MW3 to launch that. That then closes BO6 and finally launches MW3 launcher and then that again needs to restart to apply updates which in rare occasion just shuts it without restarting and then you have to go back to the BO6 launcher and launch MW3 once more and then wait for shaders to finish compiling and now you can finally play the game

Because of the hassle it is I often just don't even want to play MW3 anymore knowing I have to go through that hassle

It also makes me even less likely to buy any future CoD games including BO6 which I have 0 interest in, in part due to this type of nonsense

So their greed is causing them to lose paying customers. There was a time when I would buy every new CoD game but Activision is really going out of there way to make me not want to buy new CoD titles and I surely am not the only one in this same boat of thought
