he original Modern Warfare 2 was a game defined by its iconic maps, weapons, and distinct sound effects. One of the more memorable sound effects was the hit markers, a unique sound that indicated players had hit their opponents with their weapons. Fans of the 2009 title can now rekindle some of the MW2 nostalgia in the current Modern Warfare series thanks to a simple setting in the game.
Navigating to the audio settings of Modern Warfare 2 and accessing Audio Advanced Settings, players can switch the “hit marker sounds” toggle to “Classic”.

Once the player applies the setting, they can close the menu and jump into a game to experience the classic sound effects.

It is a subtle yet effective way to honor the original game while still enjoying the current series that the title has evolved into. For those who miss the game's distinctive sound effects, this is a way to replicate a small part of the original impression.
Though the setting may have been out for a few months, many players may have missed it or paid little attention when it was introduced. But for those looking for a way to relive some of their Modern Warfare nostalgia, this is an easy and straightforward way to get closer to the original title.
Modern Warfare 2 will always hold a special place in the hearts of many gamers. With this setting, players can bring back a small part of the original experience and enjoy the classic hit marker sound effects from the 2009 title, even in the current series.
