The Warzone Season 02 Reloaded update is looking to shake up the meta in battle royale modes in a huge way with buffs to MW2 and MW3 weapons. As expected, MW2 weapons took a backseat with the launch of MW3, and MW3 guns moved into the shadows when Black Ops 6 hit storefronts. However, the developers have pumped a new lease of life into the arsenal from the past two Call of Duty titles.
In the patch notes, Raven Software has explained that that their goal with this move is “to remove the penalties from the most used Modern Warfare 2 and Modern Warfare 3 ammo types to make them less of a tradeoff to take.”

Whether or not the MW2 and MW3 weapon buffs bring them back from the dead in Warzone is yet to be seen. With that said, the long range meta in particular could alter due to these adjustments.
