MW2 FAQ: what you need to know when playing Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II’s multiplayer is finally available now, and people everywhere are flocking online to start shooting gun in huge combat arenas. But if you’re logging in for the first time, you probably have a few questions that you need answered. 

COD: MW2 has a few essential features and modes missing, a handful of problematic bugs, and a some general issues that are just unclear. If you’re in need of answers, take a look through our FAQ below where we tackle the big and common MW2 questions.

How to check K/D ratio and Combat Record – COD: MW2

As of right now, you currently cannot check your overall K/D ratio in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II. In fact, there’s no Combat Record whatsoever. While we’re confident that we’ll see this patched into a future update, these options being absent at launch has a lot of players asking why.

How to play Hardcore – COD: MW2

Another feature missing from launch, there are currently no Hardcore playlists in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II. The publisher has confirmed that we will see Hardcore playlists in MW2 in the future, but when, and how long players will be left waiting, is still uncertain.

How to unlock gold camo – COD: MW2

Just like classic Call of Duty games, you can get gold camo options for all of your weapons, and all you need to do is earn it by completing in-game challenges. Each and every weapon has a unique set of camo challenges to unlock weapon skins. Each weapon has a maximum of four base camo challenges, and when completed the final gold camo challenge will become available.

Fixing the custom loadout locked bug – COD: MW2

If your custom loadout is locked in Modern Warfare II, start by ensuring you’ve reached level 4, which is when custom loadouts become available. If custom loadouts are still unavailable, you’ve run into a common bug. Simply log out of the game and perhaps even restart your system. You should find the loadouts unlocked when you return.

What is max level and what do you unlock? – COD: MW2

The maximum multiplayer level in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II is currently 55, andthe final reward is the Juggernaut Killstreak, which even comes with a minigun that remains in play after the Juggernaut dies. Nice. The first player to reach level 55 was Reidboyy.

How to turn off crossplay – COD: MW2

Crossplay can be disabled easily on PlayStation, as we outline in our disable crossplay guide, but you’re currently totally unable to disable crossplay on Xbox and PC platforms.
