In a humorous clip from Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, the battle pass system is shown to have the potential to sabotage multiplayer battles. With so many new games adopting this feature in some fashion, battle passes have established themselves as the standard in live-service multiplayer games. 

The most recent instalments of the Call of Duty series have included a battle pass system that enables players to access weapons, operators, skins, and other gimmicks. In Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, users can unlock items by using battle pass tokens that they have earned through winning matches. While battle passes are intended to increase user involvement in contemporary multiplayer games, a video demonstrates how this feature can also utterly destroy matches. 

The clip was shared by Reddit user popemyet. The controller of these gamers has likely been rubberbanded, enabling them to get around a feature that would otherwise exclude them from the game for inactivity. By using this technique, users can gain battle pass experience without actually participating in a Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 match. In every game, according to Popemyet, a few players try to gain battle pass tokens by utilising this tactic, and the article is replete with comments from other users who have the same issue. 

It appears that many fans of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 are dissatisfied with how the battle pass is progressing in Season 2, with several users reaffirming its detrimental effect on the pace of matches. For instance, popemyet claims to have played an Infected match in Modern Warfare 2 where the first infected player immediately began spinning, causing the match to stop before they could infect anybody else. 

The battle pass experience points in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 are allegedly determined by total playing time rather than skill. Those that are only interested in advancing through the battle pass without spending real money may have chosen to use this strategy during this time to level up while completing other chores. One player thinks that making performance affect the amount of battle pass XP players receive would be a way to address the issue because it would deter players from going AFK to acquire tokens without actively playing the game.
