CoD: Modern Warfare 2 – Playstation players with an unfair advantage

In January 2022, Microsoft surprised the gaming world by making it public that it intends to buy Activision Blizzard. The Xbox manufacturer wants to take over the publisher and developer studios behind Call of Duty for almost 70 billion US dollars. However, the takeover still has to be approved by various authorities. Sony is opposed and reports concerns, for example that popular game series could no longer be released for its own hardware. Microsoft then explained that Call of Duty will also be available on the Playstation for several years. In the new Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 it becomes clear what the Japanese are all about. in the Multiplayer, Playstation players have an advantage affecting all platforms.

Platform-to-win infuriates gamers

Due to contractual agreements between Activision and Sony, players in the reinterpretation of Modern Warfare 2 have two additional slots available for loadouts. There are also more experience points if you play on Playstation 5 & Co. plays. Once a month, double experience points await exclusively for Playstation players, and in a team with other Playstation owners there is a 25 percent bonus on weapon XP.

In the new Modern Warfare 2, it is possible by means of crossplay for Playstation players to compete against competitors on Xbox or PC. Competing against owners of a Sony console has to accept that the Playstation players have an unfair advantage. Previous editions of Call of Duty have had early access to new maps exclusively on the Playstation platform. With the platform-to-win that has now taken place, there is a tangible advantage. At the start, it shows that the demand is high with over 230,000 players on Steam.
