In the wake of Activision’s swift response to what was a rather major flaw in the newly launched Modern Warfare 2, fans are now wondering when the key gameplay system will be reinstated in a fixed state. Ever since pinging mechanics were popularized in team-based shooters by the Battle Royale genre, they’ve become a staple, and its absence is impacting the experience for many.
