Five classic Infinity Ward weapons Modern Warfare 2 needs to add
With Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 becoming the latest Infinity Ward title to grace the storied FPS franchise, we’re taking a look at five classic CoD weapons that need to make a return in the 2022 installment.
A strong and balanced weapon pool is integral to any strong Call of Duty. ForModern Warfare 2, thanks to leaks andthe multiplayer beta, we have some idea of the weapons to expect when the full game launches on October 28.
However, there’s always scope for classics of the series to return. We know, for example, thatModern Warfare 2’s first seasonwill bring two classic CoD maps back.
As such, we’ve picked five classic Infinity Ward weapons we want to see in Modern Warfare 2, whether in from launch or dropping late via DLC. Naturally, we’re taking a few liberties with realism as we go and have tried to vary our picks from themostobvious (like the ACR and MP7).
1. Remington R5 (Ghosts)
This first one is a weapon that the community has already requested, with oneRedditorcalling for the Remington R5 to make a return in MW2.
The CoD: Ghosts assault rifle was high damage, incredibly quick to drop enemies, and even boasted a unique reload animation.
2. G36C (Modern Warfare)
Only real Call of Duty OGs will remember the G36C from 2007’s Modern Warfare. It thrived at medium ranges, with decent handling and modest recoil balancing out unspectacular damage.

It did return in Modern Warfare Remastered and could be made in the gunsmith in Modern Warfare 2019 but, in terms of true revival, we’d love to see it happen in MW2.
3. TAR-21 (Modern Warfare 2)
The original Modern Warfare 2 featured some truly memorable weapons and we’ve opted for the TAR-21 to make a return in the new MW2.
Its high fire rate and decent damage meant it killed very quickly, even if volatile recoil made hitting shots slightly trickier. It’d fit right into this year’s game.
4. Karma-45 (Infinite Warfare)
The Karma-45 wasn’t the strongest SMG in Infinite Warfare but its high fire rate and large, dual-magazines made it a unique pocket rocket.
Similar in looks to the classic Vector SMG, its double-barrel sets it apart. We’d love to see this back in MW2.
5. MSR (Modern Warfare 3)
Last but certainly not least is the Remington MSR from MW3, better known as just the MSR. Incredibly high damage and made this plenty of players’ go-to sniper rifle in the 2011 title.
We’ve not had much of a look at Modern Warfare 2’s sniper rifles but this behemoth would be welcomed back by the community if Infinity Ward ever chooses to bring it back.
