One of the many field upgrades available inCall of Duty: Modern Warfare 2’s multiplayer is the Tactical Camera which lets players more easily monitor their surroundings. Despite not being the most popular piece of equipment, oneCall of Duty: Modern Warfare 2player has demonstrated how useful the Tactical Camera can be in the right hands.
Field upgrades inCall of Duty: Modern Warfare 2are pieces of equipment that players can use as part of their loadout to give them an edge on the battlefield. Rather than being lethal, these upgrades are primarily designed to give players a tactical advantage. For example, the Tactical Insertion upgrade lets players mark a location on the map as their next spawn point, meaning a player can respawn directly into a good vantage point and get the jump on the enemy team.

One of the less popular field upgrades is the Tactical Camera, a deployable remote-control camera that players can use to monitor certain locations. A previous iteration of this idea was the Camera Spike inCall of Duty: Black Ops, a piece of equipment that was popular enough at the time to promptplayers to ask for the Camera Spike to return toCall of Duty: Black Ops Cold War.Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2’s Tactical Camera is less popular compared to other field upgrades, but one player showed how useful it can be by using the camera to get eyes on an unsuspecting player hiding on the second floor of a building, then shooting them through the ceiling of the first floor.

Call of Duty’s multiplayer is most characterized by being fast, intense, and centered more around reflexes than strategy. Apart from some objective game modes like Search and Destroy,Call of Dutydoes not do much to encourage objective playor tactics. However, the inclusion and use of items like the Tactical Camera show that there is room for more coordinated play inCall of Duty. While it is unlikely thatCall of Dutywill ever go fully in the direction of a tactical shooter likeRainbow Six Siege, the inclusion of these items ensures that players will always have multiple ways to approach battles.
