Summary
Call of Duty: Warzoneplayers are expressing their dissatisfaction regarding the current state of weapon distribution in the game, particularly criticizing the inclusion ofModern Warfare 2guns. This has ignited a heated debate within the community, with a substantial group of players calling for the complete removal of these weapons from theCall of Duty: Warzoneloot pool.
The release of theModern Warfare 3Season 1 update marked a new era in the franchise with its intrinsic integration withWarzone. To ensure that players don’t lose out on their progress due to the change, the developers allowed for the seamless transfer of blueprints, weaponry, cosmetic content, bundles, and Operators, along with other rewards and unlocks toMW3through the “carry forward” feature. However, with the arrival ofMW3weapons inWarzone, the meta has drastically changed.
A Reddit post by user Henry_Sabondo has sparked a fresh debate in theWarzonecommunity as they express disappointment with the inclusion ofMW2weapons inWarzone. Criticizing these weapons for their high Time to Kill rates, poor visual recoil, and limited mobility, the user also suggests that their continued presence in the game might be a tactic to encourage players to purchaseMW3. In addition, it is also emphasized that some of thebest weapons in the game are from theMW3arsenal, rendering the previous generation of weapons virtually redundant in the current meta.
Many fans align with the sentiment of the post, agreeing that it would be logical for developers to either remove the olderMW2weapons or update them so that they can be worthy rivals to theextremely powerfulMW3loadouts. Some have also expressed disappointment that their favorite weapons are no longer effective after theMW3integration. It is also added that balancing them could be a challenging and time-consuming endeavor, so shelving them is probably the best bet.
Conversely, a section of the community believes that severalMW2weapons, such as the ISO 9mm, Fennec, and MCPR-300, among others, are viable within the game’s current meta. While acknowledging that some of the other weapons are underperforming, they argue that not all need to be removed or drastically altered. Although many corroborate that it is a tactic to makeleveling upMW3weaponsharder for players who haven’t purchased the game, it is also noted that removing the weapons completely could not be that straightforward as it would also make paid skins redundant, something that players won’t be happy about. A potential solution proposed by several players involves removingMW2weapons from the ground loot while still allowing them to be selected in player loadouts. Whether the developers will adopt these changes, however, remains to be seen.
