For a start, Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 will not run on the default Steam Deck OS due to the game’s anti-cheat system. The way out? You will have to install Windows on the Steam Deck’s internal storage and this will enable you to enjoy the game without stress, however, this comes with its own caveats as mentioned by several players.
