Modern Warfare 2 Season 2 Two Reloaded update fast download tips

To download the update as fast as possible, make sure that you are online when the update drops. The update releases on March 15 or 16 depending on your region. Refer to the release time and timezones below:

  • March 15, 9:00 am PT
  • March 15, 4:00 pm GMT
  • March 15, 6:00 pm CEST

A preload for the update may be available on some platforms shortly before the patch goes live, so keep checking your homepages to see if an update begins ahead of time.

If you have any pending firmware/system updates, you should update your PC or console as well to ensure you get the best performance possible.

Put consoles in rest mode

You should start the download and put your console in rest mode to make your PlayStation or Xbox to prioritise the download rather than additional applications. This will allow you to download the update with maximum bandwidth.

If you are on a PC, you can turn off unnecessary applications to ensure you can download the update as quickly as possible and be among the first to get into the game servers.

Change DNS settings

Sometimes, your ISP’s DNS can be slow and you can try changing your primary DNS to 8.8.8.8 and secondary DNS to 8.8.4.4. These are Google’s public DNS servers that can sometimes offer better download speeds.

Restart your router

Bringing your console closer to the router or restarting the router can do wonders for your download speeds. Even though wireless connectivity is convenient, it can be unstable at times. Consider connecting your console to your modem/router using a LAN cable for better speeds.

You should also check other devices connected to the same network to see if there are ongoing downloads that are slowing down the download. If you are still experiencing slow download speeds, reach out to your ISP immediately and seek assistance for your issues.
