Modern Warfare 2's sniper rifles are currently underpowered in Call of Duty: Warzone, but as revealed by the ModernWarzone news account, the developer has teased a game-changing buff to those sniper rifles.
With Modern Warfare 2's initial integration with Warzone, sniper rifles required two shots to take down opponents. A change was later made to offer one-shot capabilities for the snipers, but only if the player equipped an ammo attachment like explosive rounds. The need for an attachment makes the older sniper rifles like MW2's FJX Imperium much less viable when stacked against MW3's more-powerful snipers like the MORS and KATT-AMR.
In a creator call earlier this week, Call of Duty developers said that, following a future update, Modern Warfare II sniper rifles will NOT require certain attachments such as explosive rounds to one shot people in Warzone anymore.

ModernWarzone says the news came from a creator call with Warzone's developer earlier this week, but a specific date wasn't provided for the update.
