It’s not often that we cover a news story where a video game company looks at feedback, goes, “our bad!” and puts steps in place to rectify their boo-boo. Yet, that’s precisely why we’re here today. After much confusion from their player base, Activision announced that they would be giving all current and future owners of the Vault Edition of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 10 hours of Double XP tokens and 10 hours of Double Weapon XP tokens.
In a Tweet on the official Call of Duty Twitter account, the team acknowledged the complaints by many online who thought they would be getting 20 hours of XP tokens if they purchased the Vault Edition and offered a solution – something almost unprecedented in the gaming world.

“We understand there has been some confusion about an in-game-store exclusive reward for the Vault Edition, therefore, we’ve decided to reward all players that currently own or purchase any version of the MWII Vault Edition with 10 hours of Double XP Tokens and 10 hours of Double Weapon XP Tokens. Current owners who have not already received the tokens should expect to see them in their account over the next 48 hours.”
Players who already own Modern Warfare 2 but want to upgrade their game to the Vault Edition can do so for $30 or R 471. In addition to the XP tokens, the Vault Edition also includes the cross-gen bundle of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, the Red Team 141 Operator Pack, which includes Ghost, Soap, Farah, and Price Operators, the FJX Cinder (first-ever weapon vault), one Battle Pass season, and 50 tier skips.
