The fan-favorite Field Upgrade mechanic has returned to the Call of Duty franchise with Modern Warfare 2. With this bonus, you’ll be able to use quirks that can prolong your duration in battle. Each Field Upgrade has a slow, medium, or fast recharge rate, so be sure to keep that in mind when selecting one. You’ll also be able to see your meter on the right-hand side (it will illuminate when ready):
