As one Redditor noticed, the new Season One update comes with a purchasable content bundle featuring an in-game wristwatch that keeps track of its wearer’s death count. As far as we can tell, the only way to obtain this item is through a micro transaction using real money or purchasable in-game currency. > Death counts – the number of times a player has died during a match – are not listed on the in-game scoreboards in some of Modern Warfare‘s most popular multiplayer game modes, including ‘team death match’ and ‘kill confirmed’. Previous titles in the franchise have always had an in-game scoreboard showing the standard “score,” “kills,” “deaths,” and “assists” totals. Infinity Ward decided, for whatever reason, to change that this year.
