The wait is over, 141! The Call of Duty Modern Warfare II campaign and multiplayer are now available to everyone. If the campaign doesn’t interest you and you’re going to jump straight into multiplayer, there are a few things you should know: what are the best weapons to start with? What about gear? What changes from the beta?
Getting Started in Modern Warfare II Multiplayer
The first thing you should know about Modern Warfare II is keeping the system SBMM with all that that implies, so don’t expect a relaxed and enjoyable experience. Knowing this, I recommend what are the best weapons to start off on the right foot.
IMPORTANT– You need to level up a few levels before you get access to customizing your classes. Until then you will have to play with the predefined classes.
Standard classes or packs are tied to a type of weapon, gear, and playstyle. The best to quickly level up to customize your team are the classes: Assault, Ghost either Support for. Once you raise enough levels, you will be able to choose equipment.
The weapons you should choose (without hesitation) to get off to a good start in Modern Warfare II are:
- M4: A versatile and reliable assault rifle, a classic of the franchise. It is part of the standard classes, so you can upload it to unlock accessories from minute 0.
- Expedite 12– Multiplayer maps tend to have quite a few closed areas, so it’s not a bad idea to go for this shotgun. Remember that you can carry the M4 and Expedite 12 with the Excess Media perk. One of the basic classes that I have recommended to you has both.
- LachmannSub: do not be fooled, this is the MP5 submachine gun of a lifetime. The only catch is that you have to level up the Lachmann family weapons, so you’ll have to play around with the Lachmann-556 assault rifle a bit.
Remember that weapon progression has changed in Modern Warfare II. Weapons are now unlocked using weapons from the same family. Notice that under the name it says “Platform: [nombre de la familia]This tells you the progression tree to look at. The M4, for example, progresses to the 556 ICARUS (machine gun) and M16 (rifle) for one thing, and the FTAC RECON and FSS Hurricane (combat rifles).
The packages or classes can also be modified, being able to choose the advantages to equip yourself. The best ones to start with are the following:
- excess media: You can carry two main weapons.
- scavenger: you get ammo and throwing knives from dead players.
- Cold blood: Undetectable by AI targeting systems and thermal sights. Does not activate the Maximum Alert warning. You are not featured prominently in enemy tactical cameras, recon drones, or recon visions.
- Ghost: undetectable to UAVs, portable radars and heartbeat sensors.
- Quick Patch: killing players triggers health regeneration immediately. Taking and defending targets increases the rate of health regeneration.
- Bird sight: the minimap view zooms out. UAV and radar sweeps show the direction of the enemy. When you get it in the game: the enemies are marked on the minimap.
As for streaks, I recommend leaving them at default until you start unlocking stronger ones.
Important changes from the Beta
Call of Duty Modern Warfare II showed all its mobility and vision enhancements in the Beta. The game is now launching alongside an update that introduces some requested improvements to the game. feedback.
The most important change affects the enemy visibility: They are now displayed with inverted triangle or diamond shaped icons above their heads. In addition, contrast and lighting have been improved to make them more easily distinguishable.
The sound It was one of the most criticized sections of the beta. The audio range of footsteps is now smaller (heard from closer distance) and silent footsteps will be quieter. On the other hand, the volume has been lowered when you use Deadly silence because it did not suppress the steps when running.
The Mall in third person has received an improvement in aiming: there will no longer be so many problems and bugs with the special sights. Finally, the movement has more elaborate animations (scrolling, diving and more).
Why play Modern Warfare II if you expect Warzone 2?
Although Modern Warfare II’s multiplayer isn’t your thing, you should play it until Warzone 2 launches. Why, you ask. Progress is shared. Just like in Warzone, you can quickly unlock and level up weapons in multiplayer to use them in war zone 2.
Warzone 2 launches on Nov. 16so you have a couple of weeks to prepare your loadout for the main course of Call of Duty.
