Original story (published on November 14, 2022) follows:

COD: Modern Warfare 2 is one of the most anticipated games in recent years. Since its release it has been a best seller for Activision, boasting tens of thousands of simultaneous players daily.

MW2 devs have organized special promotions across multiple platforms and companies. One of the promotions includes exclusive items that can be obtained on the Mountain Dew gaming website.

However, currently many COD: Modern Warfare 2 players are unable to redeem promo codes in Mountain Dew gaming due to the website not working.

Activision and Mountain Dew (the popular carbonated drinks company) have teamed up so that COD: Modern Warfare 2 can get some benefits by consuming some of their products.

By purchasing certain ‘specially-marked’ Mountain Dew bottles or packs, MW2 players will receive a code. With the code, they can get a special skin, 2XP bonus and some COD points.

But according to multiple reports, the codes to claim COD: Modern Warfare 2 special items through the Mountain Dew gaming website are currently unusable.

Mountain Dew / Activision Authorization Error

Basically title. When attempting to link my Activision Account on Mountain Dew’s website, I get past the 2fa, but when selecting “Authorize”, it always brings me to a “Error Connecting Activision Account” screen.

For some gamers, the Mountain Dew gaming website loads very slowly. However, they managed to link their COD accounts and receive the special items.

It’s really janky but I managed it on PS4 browser. Mostly because you can snap to the next input using the d-pad if that makes sense. But yeah, page was totally broken and due to the dark background I couldn’t see shit.
