MW2 (2022) Rank/Unlocks: Online vs. Offline Split-Screen – They're Separate

Correct. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II (2022) separates progression by account type:

Online (Xbox Live / PSN / Battle.net)

• All XP, weapon levels, camos, battle pass, rank, Prestige stored on Activision account (cross-progression).
• Accessible on any platform where you sign in with that Activision ID.

Offline Split-Screen (Local Multiplayer)

• Creates a local guest profile (or signs in second Xbox/PSN account).
• No progression persistence: Weapons, attachments, perks, camos default to base loadouts.
• No XP gain: Matches don't count toward battle pass or rank.
• No cross-progression: Guest profile data stays on that console only.

Why?

• Anti-Boosting: Prevents farming XP/camos in private 1v1 split-screen.
• Technical: Local profiles lack server-side write authority.
• Design: Split-screen is a "party mode," not a progression mode.

Workarounds

• Private Match Online: Invite friend to party → Custom Game → 1v1 on same console (requires two accounts + two Gold/PS Plus subs). Progress counts.
• LAN (Legacy): Not supported in MWII 2022.
