Activision caters to a massive player base with Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone 2. The series’ amount of customization is quite refreshing as developers have opened the possibilities for different gameplay experiences.

Players can utilize the steps listed below to configure the sound settings according to their preferences quickly.

  • Launch the game.

Audio engine

Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone 2 utilize the same game engine developed by Infinity Ward called the IW 9.0. This version includes new features like a freshwater simulator, improved AI, a new audio engine with improved 3-dimensional sound, and immersive Audio.

The audio engine of any game constitutes a significant part as it contributes to its immersive experience. The presence of an improved audio system can change the dynamic of the game. It enables players to rely on their senses and create favorable situations during gunfights.

However, both the multiplayer and battle royale titles had a rough patch on release and had some inconsistencies in the directional audio cues. This caused the player base to face difficulties as footsteps and gunfire often got masked under ambient game sounds.

Fortunately, the developers deployed different patches to fix these recurring issues, enabling players to listen to footsteps amid chaos. The noises included sounds like killstreaks, zone warnings, and even gunfire.
