Modern Warfare 2 - Fastest way to level up


MW2 gameplay

Modern Warfare 2 Multiplayer is live, and there's tons of new content to get to grips with. The new third-person mode and more is available as soon as you log in, but there's much more if you're willing to grind a little.

If you want to unlock the best weapons available, so you can really bring the hammer down on your enemies, you'll first need to rank up. Here's how to get the most XP as quickly as possible.

Modern Warfare 2 - Double XP tokens

The first and easiest thing you can do to speed up your levelling in Modern Warfare 2 is activate any double XP tokens you have. You can pick up these from Campaign missions, Vault edition or from promotional food and drink.

The tokens should also have carried over from previous Call of Duty titles. When you're in Multiplayer, a tab will appear next to the find match icon if you have any available, so head in and activate them.

Modern Warfare 2 - Challenge XP

Challenges are by far the most reliable way to get an early XP boost in Modern Warfare 2. Each day you log in will earn you a fresh set of Daily challenges which offer huge XP in the early levels, and require minimal changes to your current loadout.

Weapon challenges are another great way to earn a boost. Playing with a few different weapons means you'll bag even more camo challenges and the XP reward that comes with them.

Playing the right modes in Modern Warfare 2

While kills grant decent XP in Modern Warfare 2, objective gamemodes are where the real prize is. A flag capture in Domination for example is two kills worth, and other modes are just as lucrative, for example:

  • Invasion

You'll want to look for fast-paced respawn game modes to earn maximum XP, and invasion in particular is great for weapon XP. Bot kills will count the same towards your progression so you can get the right attachments much faster.
