When it comes to unlocking weapons in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, Infinity Ward has taken a new approach. Thanks to a new system, Weapon Platforms, unlocking these weapons is very streamlined. In this Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 guide, we have provided a complete breakdown of how to unlock all the weapons.

Weapon Platforms

Each weapon belongs to a Weapon Platform i.e., M4, Lachmann, etc. And in order to unlock some of your favorite weapons in the new Call of Duty, you are required to play with different weapons in the same Weapon Platform. For instance, if you wish to get your hands on 556 Icarus (belonging to the M4 Weapon Platform), you will need to use M4 in order to reach Level 14 with it after which 556 Icarus will become available.
