As we approach the launch of the open beta, communication around Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 is accelerating. By the way, the new weapon customization system was presented in detail today.
A new environment for an even more customizable arsenal
If you remember correctly, you probably remember the Gunsmith menu from Call of Duty : Modern Warfare, the 2019 episode. This menu notably allowed players to customize their favorite weapons from A to Z in the multiplayer mode by changing the barrel, the stock or even the type of ammunition used. From now on, we learn that this functionality goes even further with Call of Duty : Modern Warfare 2 (2022).
It is in a long presentation video that Mary Evdjukian, Senior User Experience Designer and Ben Garnell, Principal Artist, explain to us how the all-new Gunsmith menu, titled Gunsmith 2.0., kicks into high gear.
First of all, we learn that all the skin of the menu has been reviewed and corrected to really give players the impression of being in an armory. Before customizing your weapon from A to Z, it will be possible, for example, to see the latter well installed in a trunk protected by a custom-made foam protection. In addition to this novelty, an additional customization option will be included: it is now possible to change the weapon receiver. By doing this, a weapon can completely change weapon families.
As in previous games, leveling up a weapon unlocks attachments. In Modern Warfare II, these unlocks include Receivers. Changing the receiver of a weapon completely changes the nature of the weapon; it is considered a “new” weapon when creating a loadout. Activision
It is therefore possible to transform an M4 by changing its receiver so that it can behave like an M16 or even like an FSS Hurricane. The idea is to be able to use the different accessories of the first weapon on the second and vice versa. The other novelty is that these same receivers have their own level of progression.
