10 classic weapons CoD 2020 should bring back Dexerto\/TreyarchWith Call of Duty 2020\u2019s official reveal still nowhere in sight, we cast our minds back over some fan-favorite Treyarch weapons that could make a glorious return in the rumored Black Ops Reboot. Details surrounding Call of Duty 2020 are trickling out, and it seems like everyone in the community is ready for the reveal other than Activision and Treyarch themselves. Regardless, the game has been confirmed as a Black Ops reboot of sorts, so what better time to cast out minds back and select 10 fan favorite weapons that we\u2019d love to see make a return in the 2020 installment of the franchise. It should also be said that CoD 2020 is rumored to be a Cold War-era title. We\u2019re dispensing with some historical accuracy and we\u2019ll be explaining our reasoning as we go. In no particular order, let\u2019s get into it. M8A1 \u2014 Black Ops II A game full of strong weapons, the M8A1 was one of Black Ops II\u2019s strongest. While it didn\u2019t have the pure damage output of the AN-94, or the recoil stability of the M27, it was a perfect middle ground. Easy to control, a high damage output, fire rate and good handling \u2014 it was one of the best guns in one of the best CoD games ever. Should it return in CoD 2020, expect to see it dominate all mid-range engagements. MSMC \u2014 Black Ops II Another of the most popular weapons from Black Ops II, the MSMC reigned supreme in the SMG category. A high damage output and modest recoil made this gun especially versatile for a submachine gun. It was brought back as a DLC weapon in Black Ops III, so there\u2019s no reason it can\u2019t make another return in Treyarch\u2019s next title. Famas \u2014 Black Ops The Famas has grown to be one of the most notorious assault rifles in the Call of Duty series, featuring in a host of titles \u2014 both from Infinity Ward and Treyarch. We\u2019ve gone for the original version from Black Ops, which ditched the MW2 burst-fire mechanic in favor of a reliable fully-automatic AR. It\u2019s been brought back a few times now, and we\u2019d love to see it once more. L96A1 \u2014 Black Ops Sniping in the original Black Ops was tougher than nearly every other Call of Duty game. One thing that made it more manageable, though, was the L96A1.

It would be a welcome return to CoD 2020 sniping. Maddox RFB \u2014 Black Ops 4 Black Ops 4 was a game dominated by ARs. The Saug 9mm SMG could just about hold its own against some ARs, but nothing could compete with a Maddox if it was fired accurately. A high fire rate and damage made this BO4\u2019s strongest weapon by some margin, ideal for close to medium range engagements. While it did have moderate kick, in the right hands this could shred any enemy. A return in CoD 2020 would be great to see. Commando \u2014 Black Ops The Commando may have been even more popular than the aforementioned Famas in CoD: Black Ops. However, it has not gained the notoriety because, at the time of writing, the original Black Ops is the only game it has made an appearance in. Whether that continues into CoD 2020 remains to be seen, but we\u2019d love to see its low recoil and high fire rate back in this year\u2019s game. Browning M1919 \u2014 World at War The first LMG on our list is the uniquely styled and incredibly powerful, Browning M1919, which featured in a host of the older CoD games. A real-life WW2 LMG used by American forces, it failed to make the cut for 2017\u2019s WWII, but was prominent in World at War. Read More: The 10 best Call of Duty killstreaks ever – Its handling and mobility were predictably poor, but it made up for both in terms of its pure damage output and monumental magazine size. As ambivalent as most players are to LMGs, we\u2019d love to see this in a new CoD game. Man-O-War \u2014 Black Ops III While it lost out to the M8A7 in terms of recoil stability, the Man-O-War packed the biggest punch of any Black Ops III assault rifle. More or less always a three-shot kill, its incredible damage numbers put nearly every other weapon to shame. Pair this with some solid handling and manageable recoil, and this AR goes down as one of the most underrated of CoD history. It\u2019s widely remembered as good, but it was far better than good. A return in CoD 2020 may be just what the Man-O-War needs to earn its rightful place in the game\u2019s history books. Ballista \u2014 Black Ops II While the previously mentioned L96A1 became known for its power, the Ballista became known for its speed and mobility. One of the most popular snipers in Call of Duty\u2019s long history, it was a quick-scoper\u2019s dream \u2014 and an enemy\u2019s nightmare. Players had to aim slightly higher to get their one-hit kills, but the Ballista is still remembered as a top-tier sniper rifle. Hopefully, a return is on the cards. Argus \u2014 Black Ops III This shotgun will undoubtedly divide opinion. It\u2019s a bit of a guilty pleasure for many, with its slug rounds providing pretty insane range for a shotgun. We\u2019d love to see a similar weapon return in CoD 2020, but we can completely understand players who don\u2019t. We\u2019ll leave this one up to Treyarch, shall we? Which weapons did we miss?
