Ranked Play restricts most of MW2’s weapon pool, which limits loadout possibilities. However, Season 2 added theISO Hemlock, and players thought they had discovered the next best thing. Treyarch quickly dashed those hopes,banning the controversial weaponfrom Ranked Play.

With limited AR options, most players gravitated towards the TAQ-56, but it performs much differently than the Hemlock. TimTheTatman revealed a secret that helps Hemlock players feel more at home.

The TAQ-56 is everyone’s go-to AR in Ranked Play, butTimTheTatmanwas not a fan of the AR until he made an attachment switch.

“I loved how the Hemlock felt and hated how the TAQ felt, so I had to change it around. I made this one change to my TAQ-56 loadout, and it made me feel like I was using the Hemlock I was using previously before it got banned.”

The ISO Hemlock’s iron sights are hard to get a clear sightline from, so most players used a red-dot scope. Meanwhile, the TAQ-56 has a relatively clean iron sight, but TimTheTatman believes otherwise.

“All I did here was after the Hemlock got banned, I realized that I needed to play with a sight on my AR, so with this change instead of a rear grip, I feel like a new man with this gun.”
