Call of Duty®: Modern Warfare® 2 (2009)

The most-anticipated game of the year and the sequel to the best-selling first-person action game of all time, Modern Warfare 2 continues the gripping and heart-racing action as players face off against a new threat dedicated to bringing the world to the brink of collapse.

Activision Blizzard's efforts to detect and ban cheaters in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, and Warzone don't seem to be wavering. Thanks to Ricochet and advanced detection techniques, over 14,000 more accounts have been banned from the two games.
