Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II

We picked up Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II on launch in 2022 and immediately understood why this was the biggest CoD launch in franchise history. $800 million in three days wasn't an accident—Infinity Ward had nailed the Modern Warfare nostalgia machine perfectly. Task Force 141's return meant something to the shooter community, and we felt it in the chat energy right away. The gunplay was improved over the original Modern Warfare reboot, the campaign pulled no punches, and multiplayer matches felt tight and competitive. October 28, 2022 was exactly the right moment to be streaming tactical shooters, and the 1,029 viewers who caught our streams understood what they were watching: the franchise at peak cultural moment. We streamed 61.3 hours of this, and honestly, we could have gone longer.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II dominated our 2022 schedule with 61.3 hours streamed and 29,135.5 hours watched—the highest watch-per-stream ratio in this batch at 462 average viewers. That 1,029 peak is the crown jewel of these tier-2 games, reflecting the launch window energy and the franchise's enduring pull. The numbers prove what the chat felt: this was a moment, and we were there for it.
