Transferring Modern Warfare 2 Progress Between Xbox Live Accounts

Not possible. Modern Warfare 2 (2009) save data—rank, unlocks, stats, challenges—is **cryptographically bound to the Xbox Live profile (XUID)** that earned it. There is no official or unofficial transfer mechanism.

Why It's Locked

  • **Xbox 360 Architecture:** Each profile has a unique `LIVE` container (CON file) signed by Microsoft's keys. Modifying it breaks the signature → "Corrupted Save" error.
  • **Infinity Ward / Activision Policy:** Stats are server-authoritative for multiplayer. Local split-screen progress writes to the signing-in profile only.
  • **No Cross-Profile Tools:** Unlike saves for some single-player games (e.g., Fallout 3), MW2 multiplayer data is not portable via USB/Cloud between profiles.

What You *Can* Do

GoalMethod
Play on a different profileSign in with that profile → Start new game. Progress is separate.
Share the game with familySet console as **Home Xbox** for the purchasing account → other profiles can play the game (but earn their own stats).
Reset your own statsIn-game: Barracks → Reset Stats (Prestige) — irreversible.
Recover lost profileIf you lost access to the *original* Xbox Live account, recover it via account.microsoft.com → sign in on console → download profile.

Modern Warfare (2019) / MWII (2022) / MWIII (2023)

These use **Activision Accounts** (cross-progression). Link Xbox, PlayStation, Battle.net, Steam → progress follows the Activision ID, not the console profile. **This does not apply to MW2 2009.**

Bottom Line: On Xbox 360, MW2 2009 progress lives and dies with the gamertag that earned it. Start fresh or recover the original account.
