COD: Modern Warfare 2 has been out for some time now and players can’t seem to get enough of it.

COD: Modern Warfare 2 graphics settings resetting
Now, a number of reports (1,2,3,4,5) suggest that many COD: Modern Warfare 2 players are experiencing an issue where the graphics settings keep resetting.
The glitch is prompting some players to reset or modify certain graphic settings every time they open a game.
