Call of Duty: Modern Warfarereceived a lot of new updates last December. The reason for this was twofold: Infinity Ward wanted to kick off Season One of their battle pass strong by keeping the game up-to-date and bug-free, while also keeping the game fresh and exciting for players old and new. WhileModern Warfareis unfortunately by no means bug-free right now, as seen by arecent bug involving a deadly chairin the game, Infinity Ward did stick to their word about updating the game every week in December.
Thankfully, those updates are still coming with the start of the new year. Maps and playlists are still being updated and rotated out, helping to keepModern Warfareinteresting for all the new players jumping in after the holiday season. Though, it seems the game might see a pretty big update to gun customization in the future, following some posts by one Infinity Ward developer on Reddit.

As mentioned at the top,Modern Warfarejust recently had an updatebringing back popular playlists and new modes. Specifically, Shoot House 24/7 makes a return, alongside a new game mode called Grind that acts a bit like the Kill Confirmed game mode ofCall of Duty: Ghosts. However, a recent post from the game’s art director, Joel Emslie, makes it seem as though players can hopefully look forward to seeing some big changes toModern Warfare’s gun customization aspects.
Emslie took to Reddit to discuss a fan showing off a custom skin for their Oden Assault Rifle, discussing how he liked their combination of different camos. Emslie said in regard to the skin, “I completely dig the way you may combine different camos with the Waifu Oden. Reminds me of the South African graffiti style from Die Antwoord in Chappie. South African gang style.” The gun in question was customized usingModern Warfare’s cosmetic blueprint system.
Additionally, Emslie responded to another user asking if a future update might allow players to use specific gun skins across different weapons. Emslie responded to this saying, “At some point in the future we are hoping to let you combine different blue print attachments together to Frankenstein weapons and then apply different camos.” That feature would be a great addition to the game, allowing players to experiment with their personal loadouts and customization.
Unfortunately, it may be awhile before players can expect to see this implemented into the game, as apparently the feature is “really buggy” right now, according to Emslie. The good news is that the team seems to be actively looking at and testing this new addition. Emslie also recently took to Reddit to confirm that anotherhighly requested feature would be addedto the game, specifically in the form of additional character class slots.
While it’s unclear when this feature may get added toModern Warfare, it is clear to see that Infinity Ward is actively looking at it. This is only good news though, as having a developer look into heavily requested features from the community will only help to improve the overall online landscape of the game. Hopefully,Modern Warfaremay see other highly requested features added to the game soon, like theability to veto maps in multiplayer.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfareis out now on PC, PS4 and Xbox One.
