With the launch of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, Infinity Ward has made some major changes to staple features of the CoD franchise. They\u2019ve given the Gunsmith a bit of a facelift with additional weapon tuning, as well as changing the way guns are unlocked. The CoD developers have also given Perks a bit of a rework as well. Players can now adjust their perk setups with two base perks, an Ultimate perk, and a bonus perk. That change, though, hasn\u2019t gone down all that well with players. The absence of Specialist, which was a popular feature in 2019\u2019s reboot of Modern Warfare, has also been a complaint for players. Some would rather earn more perks through their kills rather than rack up killstreaks. Modern Warfare 2 menu suggests Specialist could return Well, for those hoping that Specialist may make a return in MW2, they\u2019ve been given a glimmer of hope thanks to a mention of it in private matches. The mention of Specialist was flagged by Redditor LightsOut16900, who noted that \u2018Wrap Killstreaks\u2019 \u2014killstreaks that can be earned more than once in a life \u2014 can also be enabled by players. On top of that, the setting also says: \u201cSpecialist streaks do not wrap as the perks are persistent when earned in that life.\u201d This appears to suggest it would work more like the 2019 version of Specialist rather than Modern Warfare 3 where all specialist perks were unlocked after an 8 killstreak. That mention has excited plenty of players who want Specialist back in CoD, but there are a few who have also urged caution about the sly mention. \u201cConsidering the amount of MW19 operator names still left in random places and other stuff, I wouldn\u2019t be surprised if this is just a forgotten piece that nobody fixed,\u201d said one. \u201cWouldn\u2019t be surprised that they forgot the text in there. If they used the same camos they must have used the same text,\u201d added another. It remains to be seen if Specialist will be making a return, but with Infinity Ward planning plenty of changes over the coming months, it wouldn\u2019t be a surprise.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Modern Warfare 2 could overhaul killstreaks as Specialist return teased ActivisionSpecialist could be set to return in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 after players noticed a mention of it in the settings of a private match.
