4 Guns Were Seemingly Held Off From MWII’s Final Release

After a drought plaguing the franchise, Activision has come back with guns blazing in the form of the new Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II. Following the traditional format, the 2022 first-person shooter is a sequel to the 2019 reboot, slotting itself in as the 19th installment in the Call of Duty series.

Setting A New Bar

Infinity Ward has gone to great lengths to ensure that the title lives up to the expectations of the eager and loyal fan base, which forms an integral part of the franchise.

The game had been delivering an array of content since its public release late last month; New, evolving maps, a plethora of customizations for guns and armoury alongside revamped game mechanics, making for a realistic yet enjoyable experience that targets maximum satisfaction for the players enjoying the new maps and online modes.


The Crux of The Matter

  • Activision has finally released the long-awaited Cod MWII, the sequel to the 2019 reboot.
  • The game brings to the table a barrage of improvements while sticking to the DNA of Call of Duty.
  • It seems that 4 guns were excluded from the game’s final release.
  • This comes after reports that we may have an alien-like extraction mode soon.

Excluded Weapons, A New Mode 

Earlier, we at TopTierList managed to bring you news about the possibility of an upcoming game mode being added to the game. It is rumoured that the game may be getting an extension-like mode somewhere shortly. Now, we have more information regarding another crucial aspect of the game. Guns.

Thanks in large to Reddit user u/Storm-on, we at TopTierList bring you the possibility of as many as 4 possible guns that have not made the game’s final cut. It remains to be seen if they were excluded purely from a feasibility standpoint or because of the season 1 pass.

You can use this link to view the guns in a special paint job, identifying them through their doglegs. Happily, however, Twitter user ModenasHD has released more in-depth and complete images of the weapons in question.

The guns share different categories, with a very noticeable sniper occupying the arsenal of assault rifles and sub-machine guns.

Further adding onto this, a Reddit user below the original thread has kindly labelled the guns for us, with a user replying to his comment identifying the sniper as the IA AW50.

The Public Opinion As It Stands

The public outlook has generally looked to be positive. People seem to be enjoying the series’ return to its heritage and are eager to see what is planned for the future. With the series set for its next instalment in two years’ time, people are taking their time enjoying this game.

Aside from day one snags, things like glitches, and performance dip that can be patched soon, the game has left people pleasantly pleased with its immersive campaign and signature Call of Duty multiplayer. The upgrade in the visual department seems to be paying off dividends as well.
