Below, we’ll walk you through a step by step guide on how to get unbanned from CoD MW 2, should you ever find yourself in this tough spot.
Being relevant as a game in this genre isn’t easy, especially with contenders as popular as CSGO and CrossFire. More so when, to a degree, CoD Modern Warfare is competing against Battlefield V and even Apex Legends!
Regardless, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 is definitely here to stay, learning a lot of valuable lessons from CoD: Black Ops 4, addressing a larger player base and even adding a campaign mode to it on top of the plenty multiplayer game modes!
Now, as we all know, FPS and competitive multiplayer games are extremely serious when it comes to players they suspect of breaking the rules. Thus, they’re quick to issue account bans when they believe that’s the case.
It is with that in mind that we’ve decided to cover this full guide on how to appeal a ban should you somehow find yourself banned from CoD Modern Warfare 2.
However, first, we should go over the things that could result in getting banned from Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, so you know what to avoid in order to protect your account!
What Gets You Banned from CoD MW 2?
The most known and common reason when it comes to getting banned from a FPS game such as Modern Warfare 2 or even others in the genre such as PUBG, Overwatch, Fortnite and the ones we mentioned above, is auto aiming through third party software.
Apart from aim-botting, here are a few other common reasons, as per Activision’s Terms of Use, for which a player gets their CoD Modern Warfare 2 account banned:
- using any other third party software (other than aim-botting), such as bots or automation tools for certain tasks (including ESP, Radar, Wall-hack);
- using glitches, bugs or exploits to gain unfair advantages over other players;
- toxicity, harassment or any other similar behavior that would offend other players;
- real-money trading;
- sharing your account with other players, especially for the purpose of boosting.
Bottom line is, as long as you keep clear of the above mentioned, you should be golden.
That said, there are cases of false positive bans, so with that in mind, let’s get to the next part of the guide, namely whether or not you can unban a CoD Modern Warfare 2 account!

Can You Unban a CoD MW 2 Account?
Fair question, albeit not as easy to answer. That said, yes, you can unban a CoD MW 2 account, but that depends on a few situations.
For example, if the account was banned for extreme toxicity, threats, slurs and so forth, you stand virtually no chance at getting unbanned from CoD MW 2.
On the other hand, if your MW 2 account was banned under the unfair allegation of cheating or breaking other rules, you stand a much higher chance at getting your CoD ban removed.
In fact, here’s one of our happy customers having their CoD MW ban overturned.
Bottom line is, you can unban your CoD MW 2 account, although of course, not every case will be as easy to overturn.

Really sorry to hear that happened to you! Please feel free to get in touch should you wish to discuss your case further. 🙂
Hi Unbanster are you still around?

Heya! Yup, we’re here! 🙂
I got banned for literally nothing , i play on ps4 and dont use anything as of cheats or none of that
well got perma banned same problems few crashes then next thing I know banned
I bought a used pc and im assuming it has a hardware ban on it because the computer has had a reset and my cod account wont find a match and stays at 350ms ping
I’m a console player, been a cod fan since 2008. Never used any tools or software to improve my aiming or any type of hack in general. I just don’t get it!
I went on vacation for a week and I come back to being banned. What should I do?
I haven’t played in over 3 weeks I turn on war zone and it’s says I’m banned. Never cheated, never played on other platforms. I don’t know why
In The New MW2 That released on october 28th 2022 I was playing it last night and I was just playing the campaign and having fun I didnt hack or break any guidelines at all but I wake up this morning with a ban from the new mw2
I’m 55 years old, I played MW2 For 6 hours, Went to bed because I was tired, Got up the following morning and it said permanently banned. When I Send to the appeal In to find out why, They said it was unauthorized software use. I don’t even know what that means. I know nothing about Computers. So here I set owning a game I can’t play.
I got perma banned the other day when I tried to appeal it it said I used unauthorized software or altered data files I play on console. How can I even do that?
My buddies pc crashed when we started a match and once his pc was back up I asked him to send me his mini dump to investigate his crash with windows debugger. I believe we both had the game open and since then we haven’t been able to queue in a game. We checked our activision accounts and both seem to be under review even though none of us ran any malicious software?

Heya! The crash itself (or whatever caused the crash) might’ve triggered a false positive within the game’s anti-cheating system. Nonetheless, they should overturn the ban once they confirm it wasn’t related to any rule breaking.
