This guide explains how to change calling card in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II‘s multiplayer is finally available to play. Many fans have already played Modern Warfare 2‘s Campaign via early access. But now players are keen to get stuck into the multiplayer.

Modern Warfare 2 has revamped the Call of Duty multiplayer formula in a number of ways. And some of the changes have divided the fanbase. Be it the changes to the mini-map or perk system, there’s definitely a sense that not everything is perfect in the new game.

One aspect of the game that’s receiving some criticism is its UI (user interface). The menus in Modern Warfare 2 are overly complicated, and involve lots of right scrolling and navigating through multiple screens.

This means it can be difficult to find what you’re looking for. And customising your social profile in the game was less straightforward.
