So you accidentally ordered Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 in Klingon? Don't panic, recruit!
We've all been there. You're hyped for a blast from the past, a trip down memory lane to dominate some noobs in Modern Warfare 2. You fire up the game, ready to rain down some lead... and then Price starts barking orders in a language that sounds like a particularly grumpy cat fight. Uh oh.
Fear not, soldier! We've got you covered. Here's how to swap that alien tongue for something a little more understandable, even if your tactical vocabulary extends to "pew pew" and "shiny new gun."
Infiltrating the Options Menu:作戦メニューへの潜入 (Sakusen Menyu e no Sennyū) [That's Japanese for "Infiltrating the Options Menu," by the way. Gotta keep those language skills sharp!]
First things first, you're gonna need to navigate to the game's options menu. This is usually found by pausing the game (unless your enemies are particularly persuasive and you're currently spectating a death cam). Once you're there, it's time to explore the jungle of settings.
For Steam troopers:
Look for the glorious "Properties" tab. It's like your personal toolbox for all things Modern Warfare 2. Once you're in, boldly venture towards the "Language" tab. There, you'll find a dropdown menu filled with languages more familiar than a squad of roaches speaking... well, anything.
For Battle.net warriors:
This one's a bit trickier. You'll need to find the game on your launcher, then click the gear icon next to the glorious "Play" button. Gear up for another settings menu (because apparently, war never changes, but menus sure do). Navigate to the "Game Settings" section, and viola! There you'll find the language option waiting to be deployed.
Downloading the Lingo: 作戦言語のダウンロード (Sakusen Gengo no Dauronrodo) [That's downloading the lingo, for those keeping track at home]
Depending on your chosen language, you might need to download an additional language pack. Don't worry, soldier, it's usually a quick and painless process. Just think of it as grabbing some new intel for your next mission.
Once the download is complete, restart the game (because apparently, even computers need a good reboot sometimes). Now, fire it back up, and voila! You should be good to go, ready to dominate the battlefield with the power of... well, the power of finally understanding what your teammates are saying.
Bonus Tip: If you're feeling adventurous, you could always try learning Klingon. Who knows, it might come in handy during your next intergalactic conflict.
