How to level up fast in Modern Warfare 2

Modern Warfare 2 contains a wide selection of in-game challenges to complete. With multiple categories to work through, you can earn tens of thousands of XP by performing simple tasks during matches. Ranging from capturing Domination flags to scoring a huge killstreak, some are much easier than others.

Nonetheless, completing challenges in Modern Warfare 2 is a surefire way of levelling up quickly.

Playing the objective

The second way to increase your XP earnings is by playing the objective in game modes such as Domination and Hardpoint. Sitting in the hill or capturing a flag give players additional XP on top of the eliminations scored.

We recommend jumping into the two modes mentioned above in addition to Kill Confirmed for a slight boost to your total XP.

Weapon challenges

On top of the regular challenges available in Modern Warfare 2, you can earn huge amounts of XP by using any gun you choose. Challenges range from scoring a specific amount of longshots to scoring kills and with the chance to earn 10,000 XP in some cases, they're definitely worth completing in the opening days of release.

How to use XP tokens in Modern Warfare 2

Perhaps the easiest way to level up quickly in Modern Warfare 2, XP tokens provide a temporary boost to any XP you earn over the course of a match.

To use any XP tokens you have laying around, head to the main menu to activate a token that last anywhere between 15 minutes and a whole hour. These are perfect for an extra boost to your next level. If you want an extensive length of double XP, activate multiple tokens at once to rise through the ranks with ease.
