So I bought the first three DLC's on Epic last night and am now hitting the Update button in the Epic Launcher for about the 28th time back to back and watching MW5 update....again...and again...and again....but still can't play as there seem to be endless updates. They do download and verify but there's always another....

WTF?

Am I doing something wrong or have people actually made this game do this on purpose?

I've literally been doing manual updates for two hours now....

I don't know how epic's system works but it sounds like somethings gone awry in that install. I'd uninstall and do a fresh one.

Steam just auto updates in the back, and I had no issues doing the same with all the dlc's at once, or later one with a bunch of mods at once.

I was hitting the update button because instead of running the game the only option was Update, then it would download and verify...and then go back to Update.

Anyways, shutting down Epic and restarting it did not work, but a full computer restart did work, after two hours of silliness...

Good to hear it, hope you enjoy it as much as I did with a couple weeks off work for Christmas and New Years. The story is kind of uninspired like the acting but if you just treat it like an 80s campy scifi its about par for the course.

I'd personally recommend at least playing through all the main content/dlcs and getting to the end game where the new zones are all quite heavy drops before adding Yaml, and the few others recommended to go with it - it does make the game better in some aspects but kind of would abstract the game loop/story if you ran it modded the first run through.

The lack of arcade feel made it so much better to me.

(Hint, let the ai pilot the cent once you have a second pilot it will save you a lot of frustration. Cent's are still pretty bad, especially early on before you have access to some of the alternative weapons.)

Glad it did work out for you!
That is the reason i still restart my whole computer after installing software to not run into such issues - Windows is still not that developed it will run flawless without restart in certain cases.
