Infinity Ward has hit back at claims the new Gunsmith for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 features an AI chatbot.<\/p>\n

Modern Warfare 4’s Gunsmith includes Gunny, a new feature designed to help players quickly create builds based on their playstyle and unlocked attachments. Infinity Ward has said it features weapon builds developed by the studio’s Weapons Team, and can instantly configure close-, mid-, or long-range builds tailored to different approaches to combat. In a blog post, Activision said Gunny \u201cbrings a Gunnery Sergeant\u2019s eye to weapon customization.\u201d<\/p>\n

The new feature hit the headlines after a screenshot of Modern Warfare 4 showing the new Gunsmith user interface went viral on social media. In the image, we see Gunny “speak” to the player via text reminiscent of the kind of dialogue we\u2019re now used to seeing from the likes of ChatGPT.<\/p>\n

\u201cHello, I can help you build a weapon when you have more attachments unlocked,\u201d Gunny says. \u201cKeep leveling your weapon.\u201d You can press RT to access Gunny from Gunsmith.<\/p>\n

Fans picked up on this immediately and expressed concern, with some joking it that Gunny was Call of Duty\u2019s take on Microsoft’s animated paperclip assistant, Clippy. \u201cGenuinely what\u2019s one upside to having an AI help build your gun,\u201d asked one fan. \u201cSome responses were particularly aggressive. \u201cIf you\u2019re allowed to chat with Gunny, I\u2019m exclusively telling it to shoot itself in the face,\u201d one person said. \u201cYou cannot go literally anywhere in the digital world without these assholes shoving this useless s**t down our throats.\u201d<\/p>\n

Infinity Ward stepped in when former Call of Duty leaker TheGhostOfHope joined the complaints in a post on X \/ Twitter: \u201cThey got an AI chatbot in the game now to help mfs with their loadouts as if it\u2019s not the same s**t used every year.\u201d<\/p>\n

That, it seems, was enough to spark Infinity Ward into action. In a reply, the developer insisted Gunny offers developer-tuned setups for quick loadout swaps between matches.<\/p>\n

\u201cWrong (again.)\u201d Infinity Ward said.<\/p>\n

\u201cGunny is hand crafted by our developers, not AI. It recommends builds based on the attachments you\u2019ve unlocked for each weapon. It helps make quick loadout changes between matches.<\/p>\n

\u201cGive it a shot in the Beta.\u201d<\/p>\n

As you can probably gather by Infinity Ward\u2019s \u201cwrong (again),\u201d response, there\u2019s a bit of needle between Activision and TheGhostOfHope. TheGhostOfHope is well known in the Call of Duty community for leaks, some of which Activision has called out as wrong in the past. For example, in February, TheGhostOfHope claimed that \u201csources\u201d had indicated that Activision planned to launch a standalone Zombies game. That claim prompted an official response from the Call of Duty account, which poured cold water on the \u201cleak.\u201d \u201cThe rumor factory working overtime. This ain\u2019t it,\u201d the account said. <\/p>\n

Then, in March, Activision demanded TheGhostOfHope stop releasing confidential information about the series, insisting that even when leaks are wrong they cause problems. TheGhostOfHope agreed, although has continued to comment on Call of Duty generally.<\/p>\n
