The MW2 Season 2 update has brought plenty of welcome features to the embattled CoD entry, such as the return of Infected to the MP playlist. However, some ‘enhancements’ are apparently not as welcome as players are now finding that a few changes have made gameplay even more tedious than it already was.

Based on recent player experience, Battle Pass progression has seemingly been slowed by at least 50% because it now takes ages to collect a single Battle Pass token. Conversely, the AI bots found within DMZ have evidently been given a difficulty increase as well because users are now having even more trouble exfiltrating than ever before.

None of these changes were allegedly included in the latest batch of MW2 Season 2 patch notes so players are naturally confused as to when these updates occurred. Since the developers rarely react to direct user concerns, the community has decided to take their complaints to Reddit instead to gauge other people’s reactions.

One particular post has started gaining traction recently due to their insight regarding the aforementioned issues. The thread’s author mentioned in their comments that they apparently “noticed multiple helicopters dropping AI around you constantly,” which was not the case last season.

They would go on to note that “numerous choppers would roll in with ‘Terminators’ when you click the green smoke at exfil zones.” The developers also allegedly designed the AI in a way that they “now flank you and rush in and push your position from all sides.” They end the post by mentioning that “you will be lucky if you can exfil at all now.”

Players commenting under the popular thread have similarly noticed the slowed battle pass progression, with one user stating that they played a ground war match well from start to end, but were only rewarded with three-tenths of a token.

The MW2 community is naturally hoping for an explanation from the developers in order to understand why these changes were made. Unfortunately, it seems unlikely that Infinity Ward and Raven Software are going to be addressing these issues any time soon because of the mountain of issues currently plaguing the game.
