Call of Duty players loved the realistic weapon animations of Modern Warfare 2019, and with the confirmation that some weapons will return in Modern Warfare 2, many are concerned that the animations will be reused. However, the weapons animation director reacted.
2019’s Call of Duty Modern Warfare revolutionized the franchise’s weapon animations. Infinity Ward was inspired by real-life military personnel, and players absolutely loved the attention to detail.
We got to see Modern Warfare 2’s weapon handling and mechanics up close in the Dark Water campaign walkthrough shown at Summer Games Fest. After seeing the return of some 2019 weapons, players were concerned about seeing the exact same animations again, and a developer at Infinity Ward responded.
Modern Warfare 2019 was a game changer when it came to weapon animations.
Some Modern Warfare 2019 developers have uploaded their weapon animations to Youtube, where they showcase their work. Now that we’ve seen some raw gameplay from Modern Warfare 2’s campaign, players have taken to the comments section to ask Infinity Ward’s Weapons Animation Director Khoa Le what all the fuss is about. modern warfare 2 weapons.
Several of these comments were concerned that Modern Warfare 2 would reuse animations from 2019. In response, Khoa Le said that if they ever reuse anything, “we are always trying to improve it or make it more enjoyable.”
Another player asked if there will be new animations of the Vector and Le explained that with the way the weapon is designed, “there really isn’t much/any other way to reload it differently, other than minor tweaks.” They also have “other animations for this weapon that weren’t in the last game”.
If Modern Warfare 2 wants to surpass its predecessor, the animations will have to be on the small onions.
There are only a few ways to animate a weapon, but Khoa Le and his team have worked hard to improve these animations for Modern Warfare 2 and have also added new animations.
Although some were worried that the weapon animations would be the same, many fully expected Infinity Ward to reuse the animations and are absolutely ok with that.
“I don’t see why people are upset about repurposed animations”said a player. “If it’s the same weapon, it must always be reloaded the same way”.
