While MCW has dominated MW3’s multiplayer since its launch, this assault rifle has always struggled to find its place in Warzone, until a huge buff that Season 2’s Update Reload gave it.
It’s no secret that some excellent weapons in MW3 are struggling to find their place in Warzone. The opposite is also true, with top-tier options in Warzone like the Bruen Mk9 and KATT-AM R barely showing up in multiplayer.
This is something Sledgehammer Games needs to consider when balancing weapons to avoid making a weapon too powerful in one game while balancing it for the other.
But recently, according to a Warzone expert, Modern Warfare 3 developers might have made a mistake in Season 2 Reloaded by giving a major buff to a meta assault rifle, leading to it becoming prevalent in Warzone as well..
The best MCW class in Warzone
Warzone veteran Metaphor recommended fans use the MCW, an assault rifle that, while dominating in MW3, never caught on in Warzone.
However, recent changes in Season 2 Reloaded have, he says, led to this assault rifle being “overbuffed” and becoming meta. This follows an MCW buff that saw its close and mid damage increased.
Here is the MCW class recommended by Metaphor to get the most out of the Buffed Assault Rifle:
- Canon : Canon court Orchestra-40
- Laser : Laser verdant Hook
- Barrel accessory: Bruen Bastion inclined grip
- Magazine: 40-round magazine
- Kit de conversion: Kit JAK Raven
Praising the power of this weapon when used in the tactical stance, Metaphor said: “I think this is the one and only true meta weapon in the tactical stance at this point. I know other people use other things, but they just don’t have the same impact.”
Although Metaphor admits that when using the MCW, “you don’t get the movement speed” of other weapons in the tactical position, this is offset by the “incredible” accuracy and damage of the assault rifle, being competitive both at short and medium range.
