Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 includes a tinnitus setting that players can turn on and off. The optional effect, which simulates the real-life ringing in ears that can be caused by close proximity to explosions and gunshots, is a fun addition to the franchise that has been around in some form or fashion for years.
However, not every shooter fan wants to hear that effect during the hundreds of hours they’ll put into the game’s multiplayer, especially if they suffer from real-life tinnitus. As such, this build gives players the power to reduce its power at will.
This setup has some players requesting other similar setups. For example, one Reddit user suggests that he should be able to set the snow-white effect of flashbangs to black, to avoid blinding players in dark rooms. Battlefield 2042 added this setting, and players encouraged other developers to follow suit.
In other Modern Warfare 2 news, Xbox boss Phil Spencer recently reconfirmed that all Call of Duty games will continue to release on PlayStation for as long as PlayStation exists. Modern Warfare 2 is a huge success, with Sony announcing that it is the biggest Call of Duty release in PlayStation Store history.
