Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 implemented two quick changes in Ranked Play, which included taking out one of the most impactful Assault Rifles in the game. The Kastov 762 has been shifted to the restricted weapons list alongside the nifty tuning tool for all weapons.
The Ranked mode in Modern Warfare 2 adheres to almost all Call of Duty League (CDL) rulesets. Players can only equip the allowed weapons, attachments, and queue into limited modes, which also contain a few maps from the open pool allowed by the publisher.
Activision removes weapon tuning and Kastov 762 from Ranked mode in Modern Warfare 2
Activision carefully introduces adjustments to Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone 2, keeping in mind various metrics like game data, kill-death ratio, pick rate, and player feedback.
Ranked Play offers a competitive stage for the community to improve their skills and climb up the divisions. The most recent change has blacklisted the Kastov 762 assault rifle and banned the entire weapon tuning system.
The new restrictions in the competitive mode have surprised many. The Kastov 762 was a staple weapon for players that could easily eliminate enemy operators. Its removal will force the player base to build new loadouts and calibrate its damage outputs.
The Kastov compensated for its insane damage with an aggressive recoil kick that required hours of practice to master. It was a competitive choice even for players who prefer mobility over raw damage output; however, they could attempt to increase its recoil control at the cost of reducing other stats.
The weapon tuning system emerged as a boon for the community as it allowed further modifications and improved targeted elements of the weapon. However, the entire platform has now been removed from Ranked Play in Modern Warfare 2 to level the playing field. This will result in all loadouts performing similarly when using the same weapon build.
The new changes will test the versatility and mastery of several players as they opt for alternate guns. That said, this could be an experimental patch to measure the impact of the Kastov 762 and tuning on the outcome of competitive matches.
