Wondering how you can check your KD in Modern Warfare 2? It is, after all, one of the best ways to monitor your progression in Call of Duty (and establish who is better than who in your friend group). Traditionally, your K/D ration in Call of Duty is the stat you want to watch, which allows you to track how many kills to deaths you have achieved across multiplayer games. 

If you have a positive K/D, you know you're doing something right. If it's negative, maybe you need to try working unlocking some of the best Modern Warfare 2 loadouts. So keep on reading to learn how to check your KD in Modern Warfare 2, and for info on when the MW2 Combat Records system is set to come online.

Right now, the only way to check your KD ratio in Modern Warfare 2 is on the scoreboard when a match concludes. This leaderboard will show your kills, deaths, and your KD ratio – as well as your overall score and any other related metrics – before disappearing entirely. This is the only way to see your KD in a game, and this screen isn't viewable while a match is in-progress (you can pull up the scoreboard at any time, but it won't detail your deaths or KD). 

As it stands, there is no way to see your lifetime Modern Warfare 2 KD, nor can you see how your friends are stacking up versus your own achievements as there's also no global Modern Warfare 2 leaderboard or stat tracking. With the Modern Warfare 2 Battle Pass set to launch on November 16 alongside Warzone 2, there's some hope that this functionality will be patched in then, but Infinity Ward has yet to confirm this either way.

In previous Call of Duty games, you could head to the Barracks to find all of your customization options – cosmetics, calling cards, emblems, and the like – and access the Combat Record to see how you're performing on the global and friend leaderboards. At launch, there is no Modern Warfare 2 Barracks or leaderboard functionality, although some of the features can be found elsewhere. 

Calling cards and emblems can be found via the Launcher menu (F1 on keyboard, or start button on controller). From there you'll be able to find your unlocked calling cards and player emblem, set a clan tag, and establish your profile showcase. 

Infinity Ward has confirmed that Modern Warfare 2 Combat Records will launch during Season One of the MW2 battle Pass, which goes live November 16.

Battle Pass Season 01 is set to launch on November 16, which will also introduce Modern Warfare 2 Hardcore mode. That means you've got plenty of time to get your best M4 loadout in Modern Warfare 2 up to scratch.
