With Call Of Duty Modern Warfare 2, the developers have really tried to reduce the time spent on grinding weapons. This was a great move by them, making it easy to unlock and upgrade weapons means you can spend more time playing and enjoying the game. Although they might have made it too easy.

The Gold Camo is so easy to unlock that it would be harder trying to avoid it. Now, making it easier to unlock is not a bad thing but it’s not as fulfilling to unlock Gold Camo In MW2. Gold Camo used to mean that you have spent time with a weapon and went out of your way to achieve it. 

However, there is some good news for players to like to grind. The other Mastery Camo Skins are harder to unlock so you can still get that feeling of fulfillment. Even though it might be easy to unlock the Gold Camo still looks sick to run.
