Modern Warfare 2: Is the Vault Edition worth buying?

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 pre-orders are now live. Players can choose between the Standard Edition for $70 or the Vault Edition for $100. Pre-ordering both digitally gives players a week's Early Access for the most hyped campaign in the series.

The campaign is set to be one of the most realistic and immersive that players of the franchise will get to experience. Both versions will also allow players Early Access to the Open Beta.

The Vault Edition of the game will not only provide players with Early Access to the Campaign and the Open Beta, but also with a plethora of other items. While the Vault Edition might look like it costs a huge amount, all the items and benefits included in the edition might just be worth it.

Purchasers of Vault Edition will receive Season 1 of the Battle Pass and 50 Tier Skips at Modern Warfare 2 launch. Thus, it will allow them to unlock most of the Operators as soon as Season 1 drops, meaning more new items.

Players who purchase the Vault Edition after Season One can apply the free Battle Pass and Tier Skips to the then-current season.

If you are a Call of Duty fan and will be playing the game a lot, it sure is worth it to get the Vault Edition of the game. You will arrive at the next generation of Call of Duty with style and more firepower.

However, if you are a casual player Vault Edition maynot be just for you. If you are someone that loves getting in on the action for a few hours a week, you can skip this edition and stick to the Standard Edition.

Players who purchase the Vault Edition will have access to the previous generation console versions of Modern Warfare 2 (PS4 or Xbox One) and the current version (PS5 or Xbox Series X/S) as well, so if you own two generations of consoles, Vault Edition might just be worth it.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 will be launched this October 28 for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox Series S/X, and Xbox One.
