Description:
Modern Warfare 2 Call Cards

In Modern Warfare 2 2009, whenever something deemed significant occurs such as calling in a killstreak, getting a multi kill, or securing a flag, a dedicated card would announce to every player what had just happened. It was always a joy to be featured on a card, displaying your title, name, and emblem.

Likewise for killing players, a card would pop up displaying who you killed with their title and emblem. This addon aims to recreate that experience.


Actual MW2 card

Remastered Call Cards

As the title of the addon suggests, this is a complete rewrite of my older MW2 cards addon. I wanted to use that addon but I couldn’t bring my self to use it due to the thought of how bad the code is to me. Naturally, my motivation took me to rewrite the addon to be better in every way possible.

Improvements and Features

This addon features many improvements over the old addon.

  • Card Queue System. Previously, when a card is active, like a killcard, and a new one attempts to show, the new card will be discarded and nothing else will show after the active card disappears. This problem is solved with the new Queue system that will show every card dispatched.
  • Lambda Player Support
  • Zeta Player Support
  • Significantly Cleaner Internal Code
  • Improved banner(title)/emblem selection panel
  • Support for custom banners/emblems
  • Animated VTF support for custom banners/emblems
  • Announcement cards for killstreaks and multi kills
  • Kills cards displaying who you killed or who you died by
  • Developer Friendly Code

Options can be found at Utilities > MW2CC Options

This one is.
