SomeCall of Duty: Modern Warfare 2players want Activision to remove the Survivor perk from the game, or at least provide means to counter its effect.Modern Warfare 2comes with a few new featuresthat differentiate it from 2019’sModern Warfare, with a new perk system being one of its most notable changes.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2allows gamers to choose four perks, with two available at the start of the match and the other two unlocked during it. The ones available at the beginning are called base perks, and players earn the bonus and ultimate perks over the course of the match. As expected, the ultimate category features some of the best perks inModern Warfare 2, but some fans want one of them to be removed from the game.

A Reddit user named draculadarcula has shared a clip from a free-for-all match on theShoot House map inCall of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. It shows the player repeatedly killing opponents, only for the Survivor perk to activate, forcing the player the shoot them again to get the kill. The video highlights the impact of the Survivor perk on the flow of the match, as draculadarcula calls for this perk to be taken out ofCall of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, or for Activision to provide a way to counter this effect.
It seems like many players agree with draculadarcula, with several stating that it should not be a part ofModern Warfare 2. Some fans believe that headshots negating the effects of the Survivor perk would be a great way to balance it, as users would be rewarded for their precision. One user also finds it annoying that the person who shoots the downed enemy gets rewarded for the kill, instead of the gamer responsible for activating Survivor.
On the other hand, some fans state that Survivor isn’t all that useful, especially against opponents that are good at the game.Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2players not interested in using this tacticcan choose from other viable options like Ghost and Quick Fix.
Gamers should note that Activision is going to make changes to the speed at which perks are earned during matches whenSeason 2 ofModern Warfare 2launches. Fans will be able to access the bonus and ultimate perks far more easily during matches, but some players argue that such a perk system should not have been present inModern Warfare 2in the first place.
