Should I buy CoD Modern Warfare 2 on Steam or Battle.net?

After the massive success of Modern Warfare 2’s Beta trials, players worldwide eagerly await its release on October 28, 2022. The full game will be available for purchase on Valve’s Steam marketplace and Blizzard-Activision’s Battle.net simultaneously.

As the release date is closing in, everyone is wondering what marketplace is the best option to download the game, as both of them offer unique perks. Luckily, I have the perfect opinion to unravel this pesky dilemma. 

Players should buy Modern Warfare 2 on Steam, as Valve offers better refunds and customer support. It will also keep all your games organized in a single library.

Modern Warfare 2 PC: Steam or Battle.net? What is the better choice? — Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2

Personally, I do not prefer keeping a lot of game launchers like EA’s Origin or the Battle.net. It feels better when I can access all of my games from a single source, i.e., Steam. 

Moreover, many in the CoD community believe that the customer support system of Battle.net falls extremely short when compared to Steam. Thus, you should definitely go for it for the best gaming experience.

Will my CoD points transfer from Battle.net to Steam?

No, the CoD points will not transfer from Battle.net to Steam because they are client restricted. So, it is better to use all of the CoD points before switching the platform. 

This information was revealed in an email from an Activision Player Support agent, apparently confirming that CoD Points aren’t transferable from Battle.net to Steam for Modern Warfare 2. The Twitter user @TheNanikoss shared the Activision Player Support story in a now-deleted tweet.
