News - Reacting To The Entire History Of Warzone Meta (2020-2024)
With just an absolute hodgepodge of guns in that range, we have the Mg 82. Swiss K3 ots 99, the bullfrog, randomly xm4. Creek 6 Cold War ak47, and Cold War MP5, honestly I would say there's only a few guns worth breaking down here the first being the mg8, which had absolutely no recoil in a high capacity for its magazine, this made it a lot of fun to use and made big team wipes at range easier than ever then you had the Swiss K3 which was just as good if not better than the kar98, and made for a great substitute it was honestly a lot of fun having two really good B action marks and rifles to choose from at the time then there was the xm4 which I'm pretty sure remained relevant for the rest of the game's life cycle it was pretty much the M4 for Modern Warfare 2019, but just the Cold War version not much to say about this meta other than the Swiss K being introduced was the most important thing going on here.
Now we have the Vanguard merge, which completely changed the entire game. The Vanguard guns obviously supported 10 attachments, and pretty much all of them were broken. I know a lot of people love this state of the game, but for me personally, I could not stand it. The Mets were definitely finding guns at the time, where the MP 40, the Owen gun, and the Bren lmg were the reasons, like also what I'm thinking about all this, like why did Vanguard introduce [__] 40 attachments on a gun like God Dam?
I truly just don't believe I don't understand that era Coer car. I hated the I hated that Vanguard [__] because of the [__] 90. Different [__] the stg44. And the ppsh. Now we'll take like spring of 2022, all the way up into the launch of Modern Warfare 2, which is honestly the same story as the last meta saw another Vanguard circle jerk of guns that included the type 100, the nz41, the Marco 5 H4 blixen, and.
These metas are overpowered but definitely not as toxic as The Meta before. Somewhere in this window. Fortune's Keep was released, and I think Infinity Ward wanted to go away from SMGs for a little bit and enable the more mid- to long-range guns to have some time in the spotlight. But around this time, like I said, this is about when I stopped playing the game or really caring, so I don't really have much to say about it other than this is when Cod really started to go downhill.
Which brings to the launch of war zone 2 and fall of 2022, the metas in war zone 2 honestly only revolved around a couple of guns at a time it never was like a super wide range like at launch we had the rpk, the fenick the TAC V and the TAC 56 there were seriously like no other guns you could use in this meta while the rpk and fenick were dominating everything and were very easy to use the TAC V I would argue was much better but just required a little more Precision to use T 56 was also very user friendly and I think everyone just loves the iron sights on this of all the guns are this meta though the fenick was definitely the most broken if you had any gun but the fenick in a close-range situation you always, die.
Fast forward a couple months, and once again we had Resurgence introduced to War Zone 2, where once again we had a very narrow window of good guns to choose from. We had the Ral LMG, the Saen LMG, the Hemlock, AR Vasnev, SMG, and the Lockman Sub. You can say what you want about War Zone 2, but I honestly love just about every meta this game has to offer.
The rat was a textbook definition of a gun that takes skill to use. You control the recoil, and you're going to do well. Most players could not do that because of how much recoil it had. Then you had the Hemlock, which was a very good AR but only supported a 45-round magazine Max to balance it out.
Sub and Vasnev were both very fun to use, but even after. Nerf still remained viable throughout War Zone 2's entirety. Now I'm just going to cover the rest of the game's life cycle which to me honestly we didn't really see anything too crazy in the meta besides like two really standout guns to me starting off with the cron and Squall yet another one of my favorite metas because it was a high recoil damage gun that I think rewarded good players you paired that with the iso SMG and you were Unstoppable, after a Nerf to that we saw the lochman 556 which people were calling the grow 2.0 because of its zero recoil build once that was nerfed we kind of entered this weird state of the game where you could really use anything but I would say most people were using the castoff 762 which the cast k47 I really couldn't tell you exactly what the meta was from Summer 22 all the way up until War Zone 3.
So now that brings us to the modern day where we're playing War Zone 3 on Zikan, and honestly, there's a lot of guns in The Meta right now. I appreciate it. Man, yeah, I mean, MW2 is just forgettable, like I get when I watch. Anything MW2: I get sad. I get sad. We approach the season one reloaded update, which I'm sure is about to change.
We're probably going to get some crazy Nerfs here first, but these are the guns that we have right now: the MTZ Interceptor, the Pymont LMG Bass B battle rifle, the WSP Swarm WSP 9 Striker Ram 7, and the MTZ 762. With a lot to choose from right now, I think most would agree that the Interceptor, Poont, and Swarm are at the front.
The interceptor has already seen a nerf, but it's still broken. I mean, all they really changed was that it can't two-tap anymore instead of three-tap, which is still ridiculous. The Swarm shreds at close range, and the Pymont has insane mobility and accuracy with the conversion kit. However, the other two SMGs offer a little bit more options at mid-range, which I think are better with the interceptor, and you also have the bass spe, which is also seen as a Nerf already, but this thing is also still ridiculous.
Not long range, but at mid-to-close, this also makes a great pair for the interceptor or the cat AMR, just by watching this article. It's so crazy how much fun it is to watch MW3. Versus MW2, like what we went through was insane. Was insane, na no it's a l, no alaz is a l anything in2 related is a l, which I would also go ahead and throw in the meta since it's the only sniper that will guarantee one shot to the head even without explosive ammo.
Just a few honorable mentions I'd like to go over are the snake shots, which I kid you were only in the game for like 48 hours, honestly really crazy how fast Infinity Ward got these out of the game, and similarly, the Lockwood, 300. Somehow all the patches got reverted to the broken war zone 2 state where the dual trigger has insane range and one tap also, but that is the entire war zone meta history in one article.
Like I said. I'm going to go ahead and say. Mac 10 dmr, like that little spurt, was my
