Kevin has taken a close look at all the promotional material for CoD MW2 and found out which weapons are already officially confirmed with it.
What weapons will there be in Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2? So far there has been no official word from the developers on this, but we are already identifying a large part of the arsenal!
GlobalESportNews editor Kevin has analysed every screenshot and all trailers shown so far frame by frame and compiled all recognisable models in this weapon list. As soon as new weapons are announced, we will of course expand this article so that you are always up to date.
By the way, in his opinion piece Phil also explains why he, as a Battlefield emigrant, has high hopes for MW2.

Rifles
AK-105
In Modern Warfare 2”s Reveal trailer, John “Soap” MacTavish can be seen firing an easily recognisable AK-105. This shortened variant of the AK-74M in 5.45mm calibre is most likely a Gunsmith variant of the AK platform.
AKS-74U
An AK variant as well: The AKS-74U is dropped by an enemy in Dark Waters gameplay and is thus confirmed. It is mainly characterised by its compact SMG format, but shoots rifle ammunition.
FN SCAR-L
Both in the Reveal trailer and in the Dark Waters campaign mission, the infamous SCAR assault rifle can be seen, here in the SCAR-L version. The platform was already present in the 2019 predecessor and has already appeared in many CoD parts.
HK-53
In the gameplay presentation several HK-53s can be seen, which are apparently used by Task Force 141. A striking feature is the integrated silencer on the barrel, which is reminiscent of an H&K MP5SD, but does not actually exist for the HK-53.
M4
The M4 platform is represented in several pictures and the trailer in several variants. You can see the M4A1 in the Block II version with various attachments such as MLOK rails, red dot sights and more.
In addition, there are exotic versions: The AR-57 from the FJX Cinder package for pre-orderers converts the rifle to fire 5.7mm ammunition from P90 magazines. The MCR version, on the other hand, has an ammunition feed via cartridge belt (like an MG) and is also part of the FJX Cinder package.
AAC Honey Badger
In the Reveal trailer, Ghost carries a Honey Badger in the special .300 Blackout calibre designed for special forces. The highly compact weapon resembles an SMG and is based on the AR-15/M4 platform. It is possibly a Gunsmith conversion.

SIG MCX
The MCX assault rifle from Modern Warfare 2019 returns: in the Reveal trailer for Modern Warfare 2, Captain Price can be seen with the weapon. In the predecessor, the MCX was known as the M13, as the developers apparently do not have the naming or licensing rights for many of the models.
Machine Guns
FN P90
The legendary P90 is once again on board in MW2. In the seven-minute gameplay presentation of the story mission Dark Waters, the P90 can be seen and is wielded by an operator from Task Force 141. The iconic SMG is familiar from MW2019 and many other shooters.
Also in the Dark Waters gameplay there is a very brief glimpse of the MP5, presumably in the A3 or A5 variant with retractable shoulder stock. The MP5 is used by several enemies in the gameplay from the Dark Waters mission. The weapon is featured in many CoD spin-offs and other shooters.
MP7A2
The Heckler & Koch MP7 is known from MW2019 and apparently also returns. It can be seen, among other things, in the Reveal trailer from minute 01:28 with a red dot sight and other modifications in the hands of a Shadow Company operator.
Crack Vector
The iconic design of the Kriss Vector is easily recognisable: the SMG is wielded from a first-person perspective in a lengthy sequence in the single-player mission Dark Waters. In Modern Warfare 2019, the Vector came into the game as a season update after release, in MW2 it will likely be there at launch.
SIG MPX
The SMG version of the SIG MCX assault rifle in 9mm calibre did not appear in the predecessor, but is at the start this time: In the Dark Waters mission, Colonel Alejandro Vargas of Task Force 141 can be seen with an MPX. Possibly the MCX can be converted into this variant by the Gunsmith. Calibre changes were already possible in places in MW2019.
Shotguns
Benelli M4 Super 90
The 12-gauge semi-automatic shotgun is in use for a while from the first-person perspective in the gameplay from the Dark Waters mission. It was not featured in the predecessor, though it was in 2007”s CoD 4 Modern Warfare and the original 2009 MW2.
Sniper rifles
M24
The M24 SWS can be seen in the Reveal Trailer. Simon “Ghost” Riley picks up the gun at minute 00:58 – interestingly, completely without a sight, which should make it much more difficult to hit. It”s clear to see that this is the SP-R 208 model from Modern Warfare 2019, equipped with the XRK flash rifle stock.
Guns
Glock 21
The Glock variant known from Modern Warfare 2019 is apparently returning: in the Reveal trailer, the pistol can be seen several times, including in the first-person perspective during the chase and in Ghost”s holster. In MW 2019, the Glock ran under the X16 designation.
SIG P226
The P226 is apparently a new addition and was not featured in MW2019. It is first seen very briefly in the Reveal trailer from second 00:54 in the hands of Captain Price during the Amsterdam mission. The weapon is equipped with a silencer there.
Besides the weapons, we already know a lot about the beta, story campaign, game modes and even the map design of MW2! If you want the full rundown on really every single piece of info, just check out (in our Call of Duty MW2 2022 central article.
