Getting started: The basic stuff you will need
Before using this guide, this is all you are going to need:

A MW2019 copy already installed: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2000950/Call_of_Duty_Modern_Warfare/?l=spanish

The credentials of your activision account (with your steam account linked to it, just in case)

The moust recent cod HQ or warzone copy also installed (This will help us to change our username, i personally think its better than changing it from the ativision website, i havent tried it that way, but thats up to you)

The steps:
Install Your MW2019 copy, i suggest that you only install the multiplayer & XRK weapon pack if thats all you are going to play, since the whole game weights 220 GB

After you installed it, DONT OPEN IT, if you open it and try to change your name inside the game, your 2 activision change name tokens will still count as used, despite the fact this feature is bugged and dosent actually change your name if you do it inside MW2019.

Go to the most recent COD HQ version, you dont have to have the most recent COD game bought or anything, just using your free account is enough, even if you play via Steam or PC xbox game pass, like i do.

Go to the “Account & settings” tab and find the “change your username” tab and click it.

Now, when you are going to change your name, i would suggest that you use the moust generic, innofensive and calmest words you can think of for your username, this is because the name filter for this game is very strict.

As an example, i had to change my name from “Power16” to “JohnMan”, its kinda ridiculous that you have to do this, but it is what it is.

Sadly, i dont know what words or numbers could trigger this filter, since theres no 100% veridic information of this topic online, so, think of words and names that you think will not trigger it, and work with that.

Now, once you changed you name, COD HQ will restart, stat it up again and check again if you name has changed by following the steps mentioned before.

Now, start up MW2019 and you will see a screen that has your account details censored, click on the “reveal” Button thats down the screen and check if the account you have connected is your main activision account.

Continue doing what the game tells you, and then the game will ask you to restart, restart it and wait a few seconds.

After a few seconds have passed, boot up the game again, and it should let you in.

And there you go! you can now play MW2019 With no issues!
Final thoughts:
I hope this guide has helped you.

I decided to make this guide because there isnt to much information about this bug online, so i decided to help other people with this issue by making this guide, since i miraculously manage to make everything explained here work.

If you got any problems, leave a comment below, i dont think i can help you a lot, but maybe, other people in the comments could.

Also, this is the fix that worked FOR ME, if this guide dosent work for you, i hope you can find help in the comments or anywhere online.

Also, sorry for not including images, i literally fixed this today, and finding images for everything i have explained would have been very tirying.

I hope you have a good day, and enjoy MW2019!
Small update
I Just wanted to say that i recently could get my hands on a copy of the game for the xbox, and when i tried to enter with my PC account, it let me in.

Soooooo...play it on console, i guess? IDK

Anyway, just wanted to add that.

Also, i have tried to contact activision support for this issue, but also no luck, they barely have a support system that connects you to an actual human being.

Yeah, this is a really stupid bug

You know whats even funnier? i bought the game for my Xbox one on a trip to see if it worked, and after a few days of installing IT WORKED, and the funny thing is that i used the same account as on PC with the same "Inappropriate name" and it didnt tell me anything!

i will update the guide with a few findings i made, for now, i would suggest that you play it on console, thats the platform that actually works, i think you can even connect a mouse and keyboard on console and play.

Im sorry for your issue and i hope that you find a way to play the game

Hello there,
I just bought the game on steam and came cross the same issue, so I submit a Case on Activision.com and chat with the support team, they have given me 3 tokens (each time one) and I still get banned when trying to connect to the online service. Now the support team just told me to wait and couldn't provide an ETA. What's funny is that on the recent version of call of duty like MW2 MW3 and Black Opus 6, I can launch into the game and play with the same account name.

I’m also out of tokens as I thought changing my display name in game would help. It’s sad I’ll have to literally wait till 2026 to try again cause of a bug. AND can’t get a refund for the game I literally JUST bought. So frustrating. Never have this issue on ps5

Thats a shame, no problem, i also had issues when i tried to reinstall the game in a clean windows, this bug is so specific that its really weird to know what works to fix it and what dosent.

Hope you can fix it in the future.

Ah alright, I ended up being out of name change tokens unfortunately so I'll have to wait for another 6 months. I emailed Activision about this whole issue and they basically told me to fuck off unfortunately. I'll follow this guide in 6 months, thanks for helping all of us MW2019 enjoyers.

Yeah, im talking about the mosut recent cod hq on steam, this is because you can change your usename from the launcher or from the activision website.

What do you mean by the "most recent COD HQ version" do you mean the COD HQ on steam or the COD website?
λ ThePowerarmor76 λ  [autor] 17. dub. v 14.17 
You gonna have to wait to get another token, i dont think you can change your name on the website.
