New weapons will always get Call of Duty fans on the edge of their seat, and that's certainly no different in Modern Warfare 3.
With Season 1 bringing the RAM-7, XRK Stalker, and the unique Stormender Launcher that's capable of shooting down Cruise Missiles - players are craving a new weapon.
Now, all eyes are focused on what Sledgehammer has in store next and thanks to a set of leaks, we've been given a few clues.
Instead of adding another modern gun to the arsenal, it looks like the devs are going to provide players with a more traditional way of securing eliminations.
MW3 leak reveals Bow & Sword may be coming in Season 2
Reliable Call of Duty leaker "el_bobberto" has revealed that two new weapons have been found in the Modern Warfare 3 game files. These are a sword melee weapon and a Bow - which are certainly departures from the typical MW guns that make up the majority of the arsenal.
According to Bob, they are "likely coming in Season 2," but that hasn't been confirmed just yet and no release date has been datamined.
Luckily, "SemtexLeaks" did manage to find and render an image of the blade, which appears to be a traditional long sword - with a copper and black handle.
The Bow is getting the majority of the attention though, as the idea of being able to customise one in Gunsmith is getting a lot of the community excited.
Will the bow be a weapon in MW3 or a Killstreak?
The last time we saw a bow in Call of Duty was with Black Ops Cold War in the form of the Combat Bow. This was a Killstreak though, not a main weapon you could customise.
As a result, a lot of players are wondering whether this bow leak will actually be a primary weapon. While there's no confirmation, a massive hint has been found.
There appear to be ammo types for the bow in the files, which hints it is more likely to be available in the Gunsmith. It also suggests it's going to be a modern or futuristic bow, as we can't see Operators attaching an optic to a Robin Hood-style longbow.
Of course, leaks should always be taken with a pinch of salt though, but this news has definitely added more hype for the Season 2 patch.
