Modern Warfare 2

A near complete list of the available unlocks, involving weapons and perks in Modern Warfare 2, has been released by the team at WePlayCoD. This new list takes care of everything from Assault Rifles to Launchers and even some perks!

A list has been released, which contains all the unlocks (perks included), as well as the levels that they are attained at. Some surprises are in-store for users of level 1 weapons in Call of Duty 4, as the AK-47 and M16A1 have both been bumped up to higher levels. To view this list, please visit here,

• Available Unlocks newly released list.

For better or worse, many guns have been replaced as well, including the W1200, the G36C, MP5, and several handguns. Hopefully these changes will balance out with the introduction of some new and amazing weaponry.

New camouflage for weaponry is also being introduced, with "Arctic", "Urban" and "Fall" joining the front. Strangely though there doesn’t appear to be a "Gold" camouflage, so one of these newcomers may be replacing the highly sought after camouflage.
It has also been confirmed, that certain play lists, including hardcore and the new third-person view play list, are unlock able. This came from an interview with Robert Bowling:

Summarized points of interview from Modern Warfare 24/7

• 1:17:25 - Marathon Pro will be unlocked after using the Marathon perk and run for 26 miles
• 1:17:50 - The pro version of the Commando perk gives you no falling damage; we're not sure to what height...
• 1:18:45 - You start out with regular play lists but you will be able to unlock hardcore and 3rd person view play lists later on

With only a few more sleeps 'till release, Modern Warfare 2 is shaping up to be jam-packed full of surprises!

It's becoming an MMO.

Unlocking skins and golden ak-47's is a great idea.

Unlocking game play modes and restricting the players first time experience is absolutely stupid and treats people like total morons who can't make a decent first choice.

Hope the console players have fun with this game.

My arse hurts too much from the first round of "no dedicated servers" to really get excited.

I totally agree I wanna play me some hardcore...

Plus, I wonder if the AK is really gonna be good enough to justify a lvl 70 unlock...

If CoD4 was any indication than no, it won't be "good enough"

You unlocked weapons like the M14, MP44, and the P90, among others, at higher ranks, and all those wepons are inferior to other weapons which were defaults.

However, I have a hard time they are really going to make the AK that much worse in MW2.

Hmmm, i recall something about that P90 being awesome at one time.

Also having inferior weapons is a really bad idea becuase then you get CoD Tournament mod where maybe what? 1/3rd of the weapons are useful and a couple in a super specialized role. How is any of that fun if i don't want to use the AK or M16 all the time?

I think they're just making the ak for players who have met the level cap making players want to play more in order to get the best gun. YaY, addiction forming tastyness.

In the hands of a skilled player the AK-74u will rape any and all weapon. Period. The P90 did the lowest damage per bullet of all the SMG's, so if you can land your shots, there is no reason to pick the P90. The only reason people thought it was so good, an in effect the "best" weapon for a noob is the combonation of the high RoF (making up for the lack of all ability to aim) and large magazine capacity (when you miss... keep firing?).



There will always be one or two weapons that are superior to the others, with the best combonation of damage, RoF, capatity, what have you. I have a strong feeling the AK will be in the mix again for the best weapon in MW2.

I've played games with 5+ top teir weapons including the popular guns in this game. You don't need just three powerful weapons. m16,m4,m14(automatic made it super effective),ak-74(it was a full rifle in this), silenced HK5k,552 rifle,P90, 2 sniper rifles, a n00b friendlyish mg, degal and an automatic glock.
10 or 11 weapons all made for slightly different things and these guys at IF can only get two top tier weapons? That is absolutely ridiculous for any kind of modern shooting title.

They've posted their basic stats for the AK and said you need to get to some absurd level to score the best weapon in the game. The M16 is around half of the level required. That is just lame and everybody knows it.

^ Wut? I do not comprehend.

at the end of the day when you turn a conner in cod4 you going to run into an mg 90 percent of the time, if you enjoy that then play balanced game of cs. if you want variety every time you turn a conner play tf2, IW has always been bad at balancing guns, not once have they made a game with good gun balance.
