When Overwatch 2 released on October 4, players took it very badly that they had to enter their phone number to play the new FPS , and despite this, Activision Blizzard said it would do the same to his next title with Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2.
Despite the many remonstrances from Call of Duty players, Activision keeps a cool head and has indeed reiterated its words, however, providing some explanations that could well change the minds of many of them.
Activision reaffirms two-factor authentication for Modern Warfare 2
If this method of double authentication is perceived as a threat by a large number of players, it is nevertheless necessary in order to avoid as much as possible the cheaters who could, once again, pollute the game without fear , and this is mainly on this point that Activision has decided to return through a new publication.
In the words of the studio, this system is " essential to our anti-cheating efforts, tackling illicit account creation at its source ", and to ensure that the envy of cheaters passes quickly enough, no prepaid card will only be accepted as a new phone number . Yes, if on the contrary they were (prepaid cards), it would be much too easy for a cheater to buy several (low price) in order to constantly create a new account with a new identity. Here, in this way, it is impossible for that to happen.
Who is affected by double authentication?
If you want to play Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, know that absolutely everyone is affected by this famous double authentication, however, there are some small specifications to know for this or that platform.
While console players (PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series) will only have to enter their phone number when they launch the game, PC players will have to link their Steam account to their phone number . However, for those who will go through Battle.net, the SMS policy remains the same, whether for Modern Warfare 2 or Call of Duty: Warzone 2.0.
Let's hope that the double authentication is not a real obstacle because despite some positive feedback on this system put in place by Activision, there is still a lot of dissatisfied players. But we can never repeat it enough, Activision does this above all in order to avoid as much as possible the introduction of cheaters in its games.
