click to enlargeWhat are the Modern Warfare 2 camo challenges?
The Modern Warfare 2 camo challenges tend to come in a few different formats. First, you can unlock many of the game's camos by just getting kills with specific attachments and requirements. Put some attachments on your weapon and it should be a little easier.
Some of them require you to get a fixed amount of kills while aiming. In this case, you should try and hold down areas, aiming down at choke points where enemies often appear. Outside of this, we can expect double and triple-kill challenges. These can be a bit hard to really prep for, but the game's low TTK, as well as the presence of hardcore modes, should help you rack them up.
For Gold camos, we don't know the exact requirements yet. However, it seems likely that guns will require you to get a certain kill streak or multiple instances of small kill streaks. To get the Platinum camo, you need to receive gold for all the weapons of a certain class to unlock it.
After you unlock Platinum for every weapon in the game, you unlock one more challenge that can be completed to earn Polyatomic. Those should keep even the most dedicated of Modern Warfare 2 players busy for a long time.
