Modern Warfare 2 streamlined editing weapons while also adding new layers of customization. In Call of Duty Vanguard, players chose 10 different attachments.

Modern Warfare 2 players demand thermal scope patch A Reddit user posted a clip using a thermal scope in the shooting range. Muzzle flash is light created by the muzzle blast of a rifle.

Any fire or bright lighting will blow out your thermal scope and make it useless. Windows can block the line of sight, and muzzle flashes make them unusable. A second user added, \u201cthe thermals in this game look so good but aren\u2019t practical to use.\u201d Community members also voiced concerns over sniper glint and nameplates appearing through smoke, rendering thermal scopes useless. \u201cThey don\u2019t seem to be worth using at all in this game.\u201d We will provide an update if the developers address thermal scope visibility.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Modern Warfare 2 players blast \u201chorrendous\u201d thermal scopes Finding the right scope in Modern Warfare 2 comes down to personal preference, but players stay away from thermal scopes because of a visibility issue.
