Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Includes Toggleable Tinnitus Setting

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 includes a tinnitus setting that players can toggle on and off. The optional effect, which simulates the real-life ringing in ears that can be caused by close proximity to explosions and gunfire, is a fun addition to the franchise that’s been around for some form or fashion for years now.

This setting has some players requesting other such settings. For example, one Reddit user suggests that you should be able to adjust the snow-white effect of flashbangs to black, in order to avoid blinding players in darkened rooms. Battlefield 2042 added this setting, and players have encouraged other developers to follow suit.
