PSA: Can’t Hear Footsteps in Modern Warfare 2? Try Home Theater Mode

The latest Call of Duty titles have been criticized for many features and mechanics, but one recurring issue among competitive and casual players is the in-game audio. Many popular content creators and competitive players have stated their complaints about the game’s audio, but now Modern Warfare 2 players can access a setting that may help those who still get killed from the back without hearing a single footstep.

According to a Reddit post on the Modern Warfare 2 subreddit, making a simple change to the game’s audio settings can help players hear footsteps better than ever. According to the Reddit post, players will go to the game’s audio settings and set the Audio Mix setting to Home Theater.

This change has helped many players to hear footsteps better without having to raise the game’s volume throughout every match. Many players have been testing this audio setting, and some players have found success when listening to sneaky players who try to get behind their team and ambush players by surprise.
