How to change your name in Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare and Warzone


As we all grow up, become older, more world-weary, wiser, we all occasionally regret the choices we made when we were younger.

It's all a natural part of growing up, and while it's kind of annoying to be embarrassed by things you did years ago, it's not often that you really have to face up to it.

That is, unless the mistake you made years ago is still being worn upon you like a face tattoo. Not just any tattoo though, one that says XSniper69X or dreaminofmemin1999.

Good news though, you can change that embarrassing thing by just changing your online name, and here's how to do it in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare.

How to change your name in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare in-game

So, the main way most people will do this is in-game. Therefore, you need to know how to do it, and this is what you need to do:
