Q: Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare from the Mac App Store won't open
Hello.
I've purchased Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare from the Mac App Store a few years ago and played it perfectly till today.
Suddenly when I click on the app icon to open and play, it only pops up once (in the dock) and nothing more happens!
I click it again and again and again - nothing happens: no error or any other message, no light below the icon on the dock - NOTHING!
Does anyone else have this problem too?
Does anyone know why is that and how to fix it?
Please help me!
Thanks.
MacBook, OS X El Capitan (10.11.1), (White, Late 2009)

These steps fully restored my problem apps including COD2 and COD4:
1) Do one app at at time "just in case."
2) Sign out of the Mac App store and quit the App Store app:
3) Delete the non-responsive app from your computer
4) Relaunch the the App Store app and sign in.
5) Click on the Purchases tab, then find the app you deleted. The button to its right should say "Install," not "Open."
6) Click "Install."
7) Find the reinstalled app in your Applications folder and see if it launches,
I am back to 100-percent function and lost no saved data from the apps I restored. Downside for some: COD4 is a 7GB+ download. I have 100mbps cable internet so that was not an issue. If you have a slow connection, this will be painful.
