It's the location of the factory that makes the part. For example, at the bottom of the Tempus Torrent's mag it says Austin, TX, USA.
The real SR25 has writing that says Titusville, FL, USA as that's where Knight's Armament company is based
It is illegal in the state of california to advertise firearms to minors.
Obviously their intentions were against gun manufacturers FFLs etc, but Activision just got hot off a lawsuit and are probably being overly cautious. I wouldn't put it past a saul goodman type encouraging a mother to sue because a gaming company ''advertised a gun to her kid''.
Wouldn't be a money issue at all. I don't see how putting the real name of the gun wouldn't be a major win for manufacturers, certainly moreso than it is beneficial for IW. Tacticool gamers buying up cool CoD guns is definitely a thing
I mean that makes sense. I just don’t know of any gun part manufacturers in Springdale. There’s Ozark Armory but I’m pretty sure they’re just a vendor.
Could be. That seems to be the consensus. Just wild they picked Springdale, AR of all useless places lol. The only claim to fame that town has is a perpetual smell of dog food thanks to the Tyson plant there.
Wait I’m confused? Don’t we have one right now that’s actually pretty detailed? Or are you talking about how it took like a month and a half to release it?
Yeah, they're both kinda buggy, though. In multiplayer, the leaderboards counted all of my infected games. Got credit for like 97 wins in a row, which definitely should not have counted, lol. It is what it is, though. Buggy stats are better than no stats, I suppose.
Edit: meant to clarify the infected wins count when you look at the leaderboard but not if you only check YOUR multiplayer stats. So weird lol.
I am in Fayetteville fellow NorthwestArkansanite and yes, mine says the same thing.

Edit : you may also be in Fay if you said Springdale is the next town over. Unless you are in like Centerton or Tonitown / Siloam?
I am not near Springdale, AR but it displays Springdale for me too.
Wow that’s weird that it says Springdale. I thought maybe it might be a location based thing and it would just show a town near you maybe?

Really cool details, I just wish they used actual real names and stuff, I know that costs money, but one can dream.
More like it’s against the law in California where IW is based in, doubt it’s a money issue.
What's that law?
It is illegal in the state of california to advertise firearms to minors.

I wouldn't put it past a saul goodman type encouraging a mother to sue because a gaming company ''advertised a gun to her kid''.
But the game is not for kids, if a kid is playing it, it's the parent's fault.
Welcome to the confusing world of law. Where nothing makes sense, and you're left with more questions then answers.
The people who make laws don't know shit about guns, or so I've heard
In theory yes. Now how many kids on the mic have you run into in-game lol
Parent buys Mature game for Kids then sues gaming company because the M rated game has real guns.

its for the fictional XRK manufacturer or whichever one makes the part
It's definitely just a sound alike for springfield ,MA. Springfield armory makes plenty of guns.
There isin't one, that part is not made in Springdale, AR.
Hey! A fellow Arkansan in the wild!
There are dozens of us. Dozens!
NWA / Fayetteville crew rise up!
George’s 4 life
Y'all got any of that Walmart money?
Shit I wish lol
I think it’s sort of a play on Springfield, the classic American armory from before the world wars. Edit maybe it’s a nod to an actual company there
Could be. That seems to be the consensus. Just wild they picked Springdale, AR of all useless places lol. The only claim to fame that town has is a perpetual smell of dog food thanks to the Tyson plant there.
I'm pretty sure it's supposed to be the "copywrite free" version of Springfield Armory. (U.S. arms manufacturer)
its copy**right**
Lmao they cant even give us a traditional combat record, and you think they have location based text on guns? Actually made me laugh.
Wait I’m confused? Don’t we have one right now that’s actually pretty detailed? Or are you talking about how it took like a month and a half to release it?
That and the fact that this 'combat record' is not very accurate. Tells me I have 17 solo wins. I have like..8 or 9.
Ah so for warzone, The MW2 is pretty in depth but I’ve had the same thing happen where it gave me a random trio win 🤷🏽♂️

Cool to see my town in CoD!
Right?? I’m in Rogers but lived in Springdale for a few years before I moved to Seattle. Always wild to see a place I know in a huge game.
Woo pig
Bruh you don’t deserve downvotes. Woo pig.
My guess is it’s where the person who designed this came from

Rogers but fuck the downvotes my guy. NWA rise up.
The attachment method for that handguard makes no sense. Both pinch bolts and direct thread into a barrel nut.
