Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 is finally out for fans to enjoy. As players got started with the latest installment in the Call of Duty series, they were quick to note that their COD points from the franchise's previous titles and Warzone were reflected in the current game.

Call of Duty points or COD points is the in-game currency for all the titles in the series. These can be purchased with real currency and can be used to buy various bundles and items within the game.

While there was no clear answer about the transferability of COD points to the current title from the previous iterations before, Modern Warfare 2's launch has now confirmed it.


COD points transferability to Modern Warfare 2 is finally confirmed

Modern Warfare 2 carries over all the COD points stored in the previous iterations of the game. These can be accessed via the in-game store, where the owned COD points will reflect in the top right corner of the screen.

However, this only works if the titles are owned on the same platform and the Activision accounts are linked. This means that gamers would have to own Modern Warfare (2019) or Warzone on the very same system that they are currently playing Modern Warfare 2 on and also use the same Activision account to log in.

While purchases such as Operator skins, weapon blueprints, and other items cannot be transferred, fans are relieved to learn that at least their previously owned COD points won't go to waste.

Players can use these points to buy numerous items that the MW2 store offers and continue their Call of Duty journey without spending any extra money.
