The upcoming Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 remake will not feature Weapon Tuning, a feature introduced in last year’s Modern Warfare 2 remake that has been met with mixed reception. Weapon Tuning allows players to tweak individual attachment stats such as weight and length of grip, as displayed on a radar graph.
Sledgehammer Games, the studio behind this year’s Call of Duty, has removed Weapon Tuning in response to feedback from the fanbase. The removal applies to both new and returning weapons.
“Based on community feedback, Sledgehammer Games has removed the Weapon Tuning feature present in MWII and has made further improvements to make Gunsmith easier to use,” the studio said in a statement. “This change to Weapon Tuning applies to both Modern Warfare 2 and Modern Warfare 3 weapons that utilize modifications.”

There are also those who have raised concerns about this feature sparking debates, about the gaming scene as players strive to copy Weapon Tuning setups.

The removal of Weapon Tuning has been met with positive reactions from many fans. Some players have expressed relief that they will no longer have to worry about the feature, while others have praised Sledgehammer Games for listening to community feedback.
There are reasons why players have expressed their dislike, towards Weapon Tuning. For some it can be confusing and overwhelming due, to the navigation of the interface and the lack of clarity regarding the effects of adjustments.
Others argue that it leads to balance issues, as players can create overpowered weapons that give them an unfair advantage. Finally, some players simply don’t enjoy the process of tweaking weapon attachments and prefer to focus on the core gameplay experience.
Weapon Tuning in Call of Duty has always been a topic of debate, among players with differing opinions, on its effectiveness. Some players find it perplexing and burdensome while others argue that it disrupts game balance. On the hand there are those who simply don’t derive pleasure from tuning weapon attachments. Consequently game developers must thoughtfully evaluate whether to incorporate Weapon Tuning into releases.
It remains to be seen whether Weapon Tuning will return in future Call of Duty games. Sledgehammer Games has said that the feature has been removed from Modern Warfare 3 in response to community feedback, but other studios may decide to include it in their games.
Some players believe that Weapon Tuning has the potential to be a valuable feature, but only if it is implemented in a way that is fair and balanced.
They suggest that developers should make it easier for players to understand how Weapon Tuning works and what impact it has on weapon performance. They also suggest that developers should monitor the meta closely and make adjustments to Weapon Tuning as needed to ensure that no one weapon or attachment is overpowered.
In the end it’s the development teams who have the say, on whether they want to incorporate Weapon Tuning in upcoming Call of Duty games. However considering the reactions it has received far it doesn’t seem probable that Weapon Tuning will become a regular feature, in the series.
Removing Weapon Tuning from Call of Duty; Modern Warfare 3 is a good move, for the series. A lot of players didn’t like this feature. It just made the game more complicated without any benefit.
