In another unprecedented move, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 is changing double XP tokens so they count down in match and not real-time
Just days after announcing a silly skin off toggle for Call of Duty: Warzone , Activision has returned to share some even better news for Modern Warfare 4. At launch and beyond, double XP tokens will count down only when you're actively in a match, not in real-world time. Read more
Activision has made another surprising announcement regarding Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4. Starting from launch, double XP tokens will now count down only during active gameplay, rather than in real-world time. This change means that players will no longer lose out on double XP if they need to step away from their game for a moment.
Those who already possess these tokens, either from previous Call of Duty titles or the game Warzone, will also be able to use them in Modern Warfare 4. Previously, activating a double XP token would start the countdown immediately, causing wasted time if the player had to pause the game. This move has been welcomed by the gaming community, who have long complained about the previous system.
Other first-person shooter games, like Battlefield, also treat their double XP tokens in the same manner, leading to frustration among their players. Activision seems to be making a concerted effort to bring back former fans as Modern Warfare 4 prepares for its October 23 release on various platforms.
