Warzone 2.0 is locking out players that don't own Modern Warfare 2

Warzone 2.0 players have discovered a bug that’s reportedly locking them out of the free-to-play game unless they own Modern Warfare 2.

Whilst the issue was posted on the game’s subreddit community earlier this week and seems to have been resolved for some, others are still adding to – and upvoting – the post, suggesting that it’s yet to be resolved. At the time of writing, there’s been no formal word from Infinity Ward or Raven Software, either.

“Since yesterday, I played probably around six Warzone 2.0 matches with no problem,” commented u/Unf0cused (thanks, NME).

“Now when I try to play it, when I click ‘Battle Royale Solos’ I get the ‘Purchase Modern Warfare II to have access to everything’ window (I’ve also tried the other BR variants with the same result). I’ve restarted the game and my PC, but that didn’t help. Anyone else getting this now and/or knows of a fix?”
