Modern Warfare 2 weapon Platforms explained

Modern Warfare 2’s new weapon Platform feature means that not every weapon is unlocked through a rank, you’ll actually need to progress through a weapon tree to unlock all of the guns within that Platform.
For example, to unlock weapons such as the FTAC Recon and 556 Icarus, you’ll need to hit at least Level 14 with the M4. Then, to unlock the M16, you’ll need to reach Level 14 with the 556 Icarus.
Certain attachments and camos will be available for the entirety of the Platform, making leveling up these weapons much quicker and easier.
We’re breaking down how to unlock every weapon in the game through weapon Platforms, as well as a list of the guns that are either in their own Platform or aren’t in one.
