Older screenshots

Since almost all old screenshots from early trailers reused the same MW2 models and differ pretty much from the current version, I'm moving them here. --Ultimate94ninja (talk) 07:10, 2 August 2016 (EDT)

Availability

Is this going to be available to users outside of Red China? Would we have any users who could actually access this? --Funkychinaman (talk) 02:05, 21 January 2013 (EST)

Well I currently see three different options: Wait for a user from China to show up, wait for the COD wiki to upload screens, or I could screencap youtube gameplay videos when the game is released.Mr.Ice (talk) 02:08, 21 January 2013 (EST)

1) Is this website avaiable in Red China? 2) We hate it when other wikis steal from us, we're not going to steal from them, 3) Youtube is banned in Red China. --Funkychinaman (talk) 02:16, 21 January 2013 (EST)

Then the only other option is to wait and see if it is released in the West.Mr.Ice (talk) 02:28, 21 January 2013 (EST)

So is this finally coming out in the west? --Funkychinaman (talk) 10:27, 5 August 2014 (EDT)

According to Activision, they will release it worldwide depending on the success of the game so we might have to wait pretty much until Activision gives the word. - Kenny99 (talk) 20:17, 5 August 2014 (EDT)

Well, the page is being updated, so someone has played it. (And I doubt we have any users from Red China.) --Funkychinaman (talk) 01:30, 6 August 2014 (EDT)

FN FAL Screenshot

The third person screenshot of the weapon in Killhouse is the L86A1, not the FAL. Check the L86 pics in it's respective section, the bipod is removed. AgentGumby (talk) 18:10, 24 January 2013 (EST)

"AK117"

That's the "AK117" in-game. Any idea on what's this weapon? To me it looks a bit like the Bulgarian Arsenal AR-M1. --Ultimate94ninja (talk) 17:46, 27 August 2014 (EDT)

This is going to seem like a silly question, but can you actually play this? Is it out? If so, can you upload some caps? --Funkychinaman (talk) 17:50, 27 August 2014 (EDT)

Unfortunately no, I don't have access to the game; I took these two screencaps from a YouTube video, we can probably do the same for the other weapons. The game is technically out, but as an open beta only available in China, and it is constantly being updated with new content and weapons being added. Anyway, do you have any idea about this assault rifle? --Ultimate94ninja (talk) 18:01, 27 August 2014 (EDT)

I guess it turned out to be an AK-102 (even though the in-game magazine's appearance is similar to that of the AR-M1). --Ultimate94ninja (talk) 05:53, 14 September 2014 (EDT)

I think this is an "updated" AK-107. Note the position of the gas tube. Also the name "117" would suggest that they pimped up a 107. - bozitojugg3rn4ut (talk) 12:19, 19 February 2015 (EST)

Umm... I doubt that, given the length of the gas tube and the model of the magazine, which seems to be a 5.56x45mm, not 5.45x39mm. --Ultimate94ninja (talk) 14:21, 19 February 2015 (EST)

In CB (Close Beta) stage this gun have a different model, named as CAR-T which it is AK-104 based on in-game description. --Nick 402 (talk) 17:30, 20 March 2015 (CST)

That's right, the older version was different. --Ultimate94ninja (talk) 15:42, 20 March 2015 (EDT)

Chain gun confusion

I'm not sure about the inclusion of the M230 in the game (though I assume it's logical if they kept the AH-64 recalling killstreak in the game), but the screencap allegedly showcasing is very obviously depicting a Mi-28 mounted 2A42.--BeloglaviSup (talk) 09:35, 12 October 2014 (EDT)

Mk 14 EBR

The "MK14" in-game (seen here) is a proper Mk 14 Mod 1 EBR, but regarding the "M21 EBR" sniper variant (seen here), is it the M14 EBR-RI variant or the M39 EMR? Anyway, here are images of all weapons of the game. --Ultimate94ninja (talk) 05:45, 26 January 2015 (EST)

Also, the new MP5K model (named "SMG5" in-game) has a straight magazine similar to the .40 S&W and 10mm MP5 variants. Do actual MP5Ks chambered in these calibers exist? --Ultimate94ninja (talk) 09:48, 27 January 2015 (EST)

The "M21 EBR" is a frankengun, basically the barrel length of the M14 EBR-RI and M39 EMR coupled with the MK14 Mod 1 buttstock. No such named configuration that I know of exists. And no, no MP5Ks were ever made in those calibers AFAIK. Spartan198 (talk) 23:59, 27 January 2015 (EST)

Of course there's no named config like this; it's just one that IW made up themselves for the Mk 14 EBR from MW2. And btw how can we differentiate between the M14 EBR-RI and M39 EMR? --Ultimate94ninja (talk) 04:45, 28 January 2015 (EST)

New weapons

Some weapons have been recently added to the game. Can someone help identify these specific variants?

"CSG-12"

"M4LMG"

--Ultimate94ninja (talk) 15:28, 18 February 2015 (EST)

M4LMG is likely the Colt IAR.AgentGumby (talk) 00:25, 19 February 2015 (EST)

Eh, I was thinking between this and the M27 IAR. --Ultimate94ninja (talk) 05:22, 19 February 2015 (EST)

It isn't either. Looks more like they based it off a Barrett REC7. Spartan198 (talk) 22:06, 15 March 2015 (EDT)

Just found out that the AKS-74U is only found in the game files; it isn't in the game as of now. --Ultimate94ninja (talk) 13:32, 20 February 2015 (EST)

"AKS-74u" is a shotgun. Named as GPAS-12 based on Saiga-12. --Nick 402 (talk) 17:30, 20 March 2015 (CST)

On another note, I think the .44 Magnum is the S&W 629 Stealth Hunter, similar to the one in Far Cry 3/4.AgentGumby (talk) 10:50, 21 February 2015 (EST)

It seems so, though the length matches more the Competitor variant. --Ultimate94ninja (talk) 11:01, 21 February 2015 (EST)

And regarding the "MR23", I wonder if it could be an FN SSR rather than a SCAR-H. --Ultimate94ninja (talk) 11:21, 28 February 2015 (EST)

No, it's not. It's a SCAR-H with a rail extension of some kind. Spartan198 (talk) 00:07, 22 May 2015 (EDT)

Oh and here's and image of the "SMG5SD". Apparently it's chambered in .40 S&W or 10mm (which would at least make sense for this full-length MP5, unlike the MP5K), and has an AAC Honey Badger-like handguard. --Ultimate94ninja (talk) 16:27, 15 March 2015 (EDT)

So i take all weapon screenshots at the in-game marketplace. any one like to added it to main page?

I'm uploaded to MediaFire. here is the link: http://www.mediafire.com/download/am4a01xah2ki16i/screenshots.rar --Nick 402 (talk) 17:49, 20 March 2015 (CST)

Thanks a lot for these screenshots; we'll add them to the main page soon. --Ultimate94ninja (talk) 15:42, 20 March 2015 (EDT)

Location of screenshots?

I just took a buncha high res screenshots in game but I dunno where they are held. Anyone know? Also is the standard key the print screen one or do I need to use a different one?

Here's one I saved on my desktop from paint:

Kona (talk) 03:11, 26 March 2015 (EDT)

I don't know if there's a specific destination for in-game screenshots. If not, then you should stick to paint. --Ultimate94ninja (talk) 19:07, 28 March 2015 (EDT)

Useful resource for weird futureguns

http://21stcenturyasianarmsrace.com/2014/03/01/the-assault-rifles-of-the-near-future-2-updated/

Not sure how it is for weird ads since I run noscript, but it's a good list of things that are likely to appear in Call of Duty games sooner or later. Also that Colt thing is really weird and looks like they stole it from a Turok game. Evil Tim (talk) 12:40, 4 May 2015 (EDT)

I'd like to see the FX-05 Xiuhcoatl in a CoD game. I just love how chunky looking it is. - user:1morey September 17, 2016 9:18 AM (EST)

What is the SPBC?

It's an M4, Magpul M4, or an HK416? Treliazz

It looks like the Peacekeeper from BOII had a baby with a Noveske built AR15. You can use four tildes ("~") to sign your posts.AgentGumby (talk) 14:12, 29 November 2015 (EST)

M4A1 Tech Variant

Looks similar to the HVR-30 from Black Ops III.--Treliazz (talk) 09:43, 9 January 2017 (EST)

*Quietly vomits in a corner* All jokes aside, I'd have to agree with you. I really don't think this deserves a mention on the page, though, given the lack of real-world basis (I mean, it's based on something loosely based on an SA58 receiver, so I'm not sure if it qualifies. Also, if you want to find info on this game and its weapons, I'd recommend you check out M3RKMUS1C, a guy who's somehow managed to get a hold of this game in the US, marking quite possibly the first time that gameplay footage of COD Online has been on Youtube (due to China's Youtube ban). Pyr0m4n14c (talk) 16:50, 9 January 2017 (EST)

Beretta M9

Back on the topic of Raven Software's frankenguns lol. I don't think it's fine to list it as an M9A3, is it? The grip panel is somewhat similar, and the rail system matches it the most, though in-game it has four slots instead of three (the Recover Tactical BC2 rail system has four slots, but it looks different so nevermind on that). Thing is it has a standard M9 rear sight, an unusual bulge upwards the slide (it's not the same as that of variants like the 92FS Brigadier), as well as not having the M9A3's FDE finish (aside from the grip panel, to some extent). Ideas? --Ultimate94ninja (talk) 05:10, 3 August 2017 (EDT)

Questions about images

So I'm from China and got my hands on the game, and I had taken a few images that I might upload on the page later. But some of the images are taken in the lobby, and the game enforces social elements in the lobby, meaning that all of the time usernames of other people from the allchat is shown. Am I allowed to censor or crop out the chat section to protect others' identities?

Second question. I can take images in either Fraps or using the in-game screenshot key. Taking it with Fraps retains the HUD, while using the in-game screenshot key removes the HUD but adds a watermark of the CODOL logo on the bottom right. Which one is preferred in this case? (I assume that the non-watermarked version is preferred, based on the Image Rules) Wuzh (talk) 22:55, 24 November 2017 (EST)

Regarding your second question, you are correct. The general precedent is that a screenshot should look like normal gameplay, HUD and all (not to mention that the HUD can sometimes provide interesting opportunities for notes or trivia). As for the first question, I'm not sure. If I had to guess, I'd say that if you wanted to remove people's names, you could, but you should try to censor/blur out names subtly, rather than by cropping the image, as cropped images are generally frowned upon here (with a few rare exceptions). However, I don't think that I'm the best person to ask. Pyr0m4n14c (talk) 10:10, 25 November 2017 (EST)

Yeah, if you want to blank out names that's fine, just open it up in an image editor and draw a black box over their name, or one that's the same colour as the box the name appears in. Evil Tim (talk) 10:37, 25 November 2017 (EST)

Alright, thanks for the tip.--Wuzh (talk) 10:55, 25 November 2017 (EST)

Trivia about that mission where you pull out the Desert Eagle with the MW2 model

It's not really related to the page, but is way too hilarious to not share.

The singleplayer campaign in COD Online is a mess made up of spare limbs from other Call of Duty games. The first mission, for example, is the final mission of BO1 with the assault on Rusalka merged with the first mission of MW1. The story is also a mess, with TF141 investigating the Shadow Company, Nova 6, and Element 115 in some fictional country that simultaneously has tropical-looking cities, snowy mountains, and Eastern European villages (because of all the reused maps). Before the mission Betrayal, TF141 destroyed a Shadow Company mountain factory that was producing dirty bombs made from Nova 6 mixed with Element 115, but one dirty bomb was still transported away. So TF141 went down the snowy mountain factory straight into the Eastern European villages "nearby" to track it down. An AC-130 supports TF141 through the villages (basically Hunted and Death From Above from MW1 merged into a single level), during which Ghost (who defected to the Shadow Company beforehand for unknown reasons) appears and gets into a fistfight with Soap, before leaving and saying some mysterious things. Why did he defect and betray TF141 is never resolved, but hey, there's the cool mission name. So TF141 and the AC-130 moved on.

Here's where things escalate.

The AC-130 operators detect that an RPG (yes, RPG, that is what they said in-game) is coming towards them, and uses chaff countermeasures to try to deflect them (because RPGs). They fail. The AC-130 crashes into the ground near our heroes of TF141 (because AC-130s fly pretty low right, RPGs can hit them). Soap says that they need to rescue the pilots (because they survived the AC-130 crash but are injured duh). So you and Soap fight through more Shadow Company dudes before getting to the wreck of the AC-130, to find a pilot in SCUBA gear (because the pilot needs to dive too). So while you drag the pilot in SCUBA gear away to safety, Shadow Company dudes come to kill you, so you pull out your MW2 Desert Eagle with a bayonet to fire back. Then all of a sudden, a nuke (or a really large bomb) explodes in the distance, and the shockwave kills the Shadow Company dudes and saves TF141 (you see, TF141 guys are pretty tough, not like the Shadow Company dudes). TF141 exfils with the pilot in SCUBA gear.

Who fired that nuke? Nobody questioned it and nobody gave an answer. What happened to the dirty bomb you're supposed to find? It went away from the place they're searching so TF141 had to track them again to get it in the next mission. Everything ended as suddenly as it began. No introduction, no explanation, no closure.

--Wuzh (talk) 10:55, 25 November 2017 (EST)

I'll be honest, this sounds hilarious. Evil Tim (talk) 11:14, 25 November 2017 (EST)

That actually sounds like it would be worth getting just for the lolz alone. Spartan198 (talk) 14:40, 25 November 2017 (EST)
