Modern Warfare 2 Dead Silence Activation Emits Warning Sound to Alert Enemy Players

Here’s something that might annoy Call of Duty players, it seems that based on the beta, those who activate the Modern Warfare 2 Dead Silence Field Upgrade will trigger a warning sound that will be heard by enemies to warn them that the Field Upgrade is being used.

Don’t believe me? Check out this captured footage from Reddit user RealMathematician363 as proof:

Dead silence huge problem from ModernWarfareII

What’s even baffling about this is, the player who triggers Dead Silence doesn’t even know that a warning sound is being set off! As you can see from the clip above, the enemy that has no idea that someone is lying prone behind him was alerted to the sound, and they even knew where it was coming from. 

For those running Dead Silence and wondering why you suddenly get rushed or mowed down by enemy gunfire after activating it, now you know. 

It seems developer Infinity Ward has stealthily added a disadvantage for the Field Upgrade, which isn’t present in the other Field Upgrades (as far as we’re aware). If so, this seems to be another step by the studio to prevent players from rushing too much in a course of a match. I mean, with no red dots on the mini map, loud footsteps and now this, it looks like the “safe” way to play Modern Warfare 2 online would be to situate yourself in power positions.

Is this a concern for you, or is this par for the course given the way the game has been designed so far? Let us know your thoughts down in the comments.

Its kinda hilarious how many trash campers are losing their minds that something is being done about them just wanting to curl up in a corner and wait for people to run past while knowing where everyone on the map is located LMFAO….
