ACall of Duty: Modern Warfare 2player has submitted a comprehensive concept for a new weapon platform. The newCall of Dutygame comes with a lot of good and recognizable weaponry, but some fan favorites are missing, at least for now. While the AK-47, the MP5, and even P90 are present inModern Warfare 2, albeit with their re-imagined names, there is no iconic Heckler & Koch G36.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2is the latest iteration is Activision’s world-leading first-person shooter franchise. It follows the events of 2019Modern Warfareand pits players in a conflict on the southern US border between Task Force 141 and the cartel which is supported by the terrorist organization Al-Qatala. Both single-player andmultiplayer inModern Warfare 2feature equipment that is appropriate to modern times.

The weaponry that is already found inCall of Duty: Modern Warfare 2includes many of the familiar modern guns from previous games. Undoubtedly Infinity Ward wanted to cover its bases in terms of fan favorites, and there was no chance that anAK-47 or M4 wouldn’t be included inModern Warfare 2’s initial release. However, one of the more common assault rifles in games has slipped past them. The HK G36 doesn’t appear in the game in any form, at least not yet.
A fan of the game has made a visualization of what the G36 could look like if added to the game. In fact, the graphic includes an entire weapon platform that the creator calls the LM G72, based on theModern Warfareweapon manufacturer Lachmann & Meer. For example, Lachmann Sub is the name of theMP5 inModern Warfare 2. The platform includes the G36K as well as the more compact G36C, which is featured in variousCall of Dutygames, including the originalModern Warfare 2. Furthermore, there is an LMG and a Marksman version, various attachments, and four different shoulder stocks.
Some have argued in the discussion about the G36 that it wouldn’t be appropriate due to the age of the platform to be included in the game. However, the game is set in Mexico, which uses older weaponry. Those are featured prominently in the game too, including the Lachmann Sub and Lachmann-762, which isModern Warfare 2’s HK G3 equivalentand G36 predecessor. Fortunately, Infinity Ward is adding weaponry with Seasons, which could mean that we’ll see some form of this concept in action.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2is available now for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
