Modern Warfare 2 is Making Changes to the Perks System

 

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 is one of the most popular first-person shooters in the gaming industry. The game has been around for over a decade, but it still manages to attract a large player base. The game developers, Infinity Ward, are now introducing changes to the perks system in the game, which will give players an even more exciting experience.

For those who are not familiar with the game, the perks system in Modern Warfare 2 allows players to select four perks for a match. However, only two are active at the beginning of the game, as players will earn the third and fourth perks over the course of the match. The ones active at the start are known as base perks, followed by bonus, and then finally the ultimate perk for late-game combat encounters. The development team is now updating how these perks are earned, but they aren’t changing the core ideas of the system.

One of the biggest changes coming to the perks system in Modern Warfare 2 is the reduction of the cost of bonus and ultimate perks. The developer, Infinity Ward, announced that they will be reducing the cost of bonus perks by 50%, with ultimate ones getting a 25% reduction. This will make it much easier for players to earn the higher-tier perks during matches. The developer specifically names Ghost, an ultimate perk in Modern Warfare 2, and mentions receiving a lot of feedback around the time at which it unlocks. The team considered changing its position in the new perks system but concluded that this would create a massive balance issue.

Another change coming to Modern Warfare 2 multiplayer in Season 2 is the return of the hardcore playlist. This playlist is designed for players who want a more realistic and intense experience. The hardcore playlist will feature more realistic bullet damage, no killstreak rewards, and no minimap. Additionally, the developer is also making tweaks to weapon balance, which will make the game more fair and balanced for all players.

The post also gives an overview of the improvements coming to Call of Duty: Warzone 2 in Season 2, such as the Gulag going back to 1v1 encounters. Furthermore, Activision will make massive changes to the way cash and store prices work in Warzone 2, as players will now be able to collect more cash during matches. It’ll also feature an update to the way armour plates work, confirming that each player will now start the game with a 3-plate vest and different-sized vests will be removed from the game.

In conclusion, the changes coming to the perks system in Modern Warfare 2 will give players a more exciting and balanced experience. The reduction of the cost of bonus and ultimate perks will make it much easier for players to earn these perks during matches. Additionally, the return of the hardcore playlist and tweaks to weapon balance will give players a more realistic and intense experience. The developer, Infinity Ward, is also making changes to Warzone 2, which will make the game more fair and balanced for all players. We can't wait to see how these changes will affect the gameplay experience and we are looking forward to the full patch notes.
