An image fromCall of Duty: Modern Warfare 2highlights the impact of making players complete longshot challenges to unlock skins. WhileModern Warfare 2doesn’t deviate too much from the standardCall of Dutyformula, it comes with some important changes to differentiate itself from previous games.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2features a new systemfor unlocking weapon attachments, as some add-ons are shared between the various guns available in the game. Gamers unlock these attachments by leveling up guns, but they can sometimes be forced to play with a completely different type of weapon. As an example, players may be compelled to level up a sniper rifle to unlock an attachment they need on an assault rifle. A few fans criticized this system, and it looks like players have more complaints regarding the challenges they need to complete to unlock skins.

A Reddit user named 646ulose has shared an image from a multiplayer match inCall of Duty: Modern Warfare 2showing that all of their teammates are standing in a single spot. The map is called Crown Raceway,one of the best maps inModern Warfare 2, and all the teammates are hilariously standing or lying prone next to a tree with their guns aimed at the opposite end of the level.
It looks like all the players are trying to complete the longshot challenge for their respective guns to unlock weapon camos.The Crown Raceway map inMW2presents a great opportunity to kill opponents on the other side, as it features a long section with few objects or cover points to block shots. By contrast, 646ulose looks to be equipped with a shotgun, so they probably won’t be joining their teammates in this activity.
Many fans in the comments section criticize the decision to include longshot challenges due to their impact on the gameplay experience. As seen in the image, users are probably not playing optimally as they are presumably more concerned with completing the challenge instead of winning. It also looks like this issue is a common occurrence in the Tier 1game mode inCall of Duty: Modern Warfare 2.
Gamers would probably not play this way iflongshot challenges didn’t exist inModern Warfare 2, and fans have some interesting ideas of the different types of goals Infinity Ward can add instead. As an example, one user mentions that a challenge for getting a certain number of kills with no attachments would not impact the gameplay experience of other players on the same level.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2is available now on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
