The Dead Silence Field Upgrade is not immediately available. You will need to level up your profile to level 30. When you reach this point, you can swap it into a customized loadout and use it for your preferred perks, weapons, and equipment. If you have not reached this point, the only way to use Dead Silence is to spawn into the game with any pre-created loadouts the MW 2 team has provided everyone.

Dead Silence is not immediately available when you start a match. It’s a Field Upgrade that needs time to charge before you use it. It might take a life or two before you can use it, typically two minutes after the start of a match. Following this duration, the icon on the lower left of your screen where Dead Silence is available will appear and have a yellow border. You can activate it by clicking the R1 and L1 buttons or the RB and LB buttons to activate the Field Upgrade. The outside of your screen will have a small, white aura, indicating Dead Silence is activated. It will only work for a limited time.
