Leave a comment

Following the newest update from Call of Duty: Modern Warfare with Season 2, the main menu has updated to have a new mode section added that is listed as ‘CLASSIFIED.’

The mode is listed alongside Campaign, MP, Co-Op, and Store.

The mode is fully locked as of now in the menu.

There has been many rumors about a Battle Royale mode coming for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare for months now, including rumors that the mode would be free to play, and this new Classified mode could be it.

A Battle Royale mode has not been officially announced yet though.

With the Modern Warfare Season 2 update, the new loading in-game cinematic video teases the Battle Royale mode, with the Green Gas showcased at the end, which is the rumored closing circle for the Battle Royale mode.

Previously Leaked Info:

A few months back, data miners leaked images of the full map of the BR mode for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, including a list of locations, the perks, mode details, and more.

Here’s that original map image which was removed by Activision:

The full leak also detailed perks and more for the mode, which is available here.

As always, we’ll keep you posted on the latest news on this potential Battle Royale mode for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare.

PSA: Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare’s $100 Battle Pass Edition Available For Season 2 Launch

Leave a comment

The Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Battle Pass Edition will remain available for the launch of Season 2 this week. The Battle Pass Edition, which is aimed at people who haven’t bought the game yet, includes the full game and a series of extras, including Call of Duty Points and weapons. The Battle Pass Edition was also available for the Season 1 launch in 2019.

The Battle Pass Edition includes 3000 Call of Duty Points, which is enough to buy the Season 2 Battle Pass and still have an allotment of points leftover. Also included in the bundle is a combat knife featuring a custom skin, as well as the XRK weapons pack. Additionally, the pack includes the “All Ghillied Up,” “Crew Expendable,” and “War Pig” operator packs.

No Caption Provided

The Modern Warfare Battle Pass Edition costs $100 USD, and it’s available on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC. Modern Warfare is already a sales juggernaut, beating out Black Ops 4, and this new version will likely help sales grow even further. Microtransaction sales in Modern Warfare have also been performing well, Activision Blizzard recently announced.

Modern Warfare’s Season 2 includes a lot of free content, perhaps the most notable of which is a new version of the Rust multiplayer map from Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. Check out GameSpot’s breakdown of everything new in Season 2.

In GameSpot’s Call of Duty: Modern Warfare review, Kallie Plagge wrote, “The pitfalls of Spec Ops don’t detract from what Modern Warfare does well, though. Realism mode is an excellent addition to the slate, and although not all the new multiplayer modes are great, Gunfight and the Night Vision playlist are refreshing standouts. And while the campaign ends up playing it safe in the end, it’s still a memorable one, and it lays a strong foundation for where the Modern Warfare series could go from here.”

Activision Blizzard has also confirmed that a new Call of Duty game is in development and scheduled to release later this year. Interestingly, Activision Blizzard did not announce which studio is working on the game.

Modern Warfare season 2 will add Call of Duty fan-favorite map Rust

Leave a comment

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare’s second season is almost here and Infinity Ward has revealed what content players can look forward to. Season 2 will include five new maps at launch, and one later in the season, as well as new weapons, new modes and new operators.

Most of Modern Warfare’s new content will arrive on the first day of the season, including the fan-favorite Modern Warfare 2 map Rust. It’s a small desert-set map with multiple levels for players to chase each other, leading to quick fights and perilous escapes. Atlas Superstore, a new map for Modern Warfare, will also arrive on day one, as well two new Gunfight maps, and the new Ground War map, called Zhokov Boneyard. The new Operator, Ghost, as well as the new GRAU 5.56 and Striker 45 weapons are also part of the game’s day one additions.

Later in the season, two new operators will be added to the game called Talon and Mace, as well as a new weapon that Infinity Ward hasn’t revealed yet. There will also be a new map called Khandor Hideout, though there’s no release date for any of that content yet. Season 2 will also include new multiplayer modes like Gunfight Tournament, Infected and Infected Ground War, which will rotate in and out periodically throughout the season.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare season 2 will be available on Feb. 11 on PlayStation 4, Windows PC and Xbox One.

CoD: Modern Warfare Season 2 – Here’s What Launches On Tuesday

Leave a comment

Season Two of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare begins tomorrow, February 11. The season offers a brand-new battle pass of rewards to earn, modes to play, challenges to complete, and missions to take on. You won’t get everything on launch day though. In the following article, we list all of the new content that will be available in Modern Warfare on day one of Season Two.

The new season launches with two new multiplayer maps (Rust and Atlas Superstore), a new Ground War map (Zhokov Boneyard), and several new Gunfight maps. You’ll also gain access to two new multiplayer modes–Gunfight Tournaments and Call of Duty League Ruleset Playlist–as well as the Ghost operator. Both the GRAU 5.56 and Striker 45 will be added as new weapons too.

That’s all the new content specifically coming tomorrow. The remaining map, two operators, four modes, and weapon will be added to Modern Warfare later in Season Two. You can see a visual representation of the split in the image embedded below.

The return of Rust is the big content drop for Season Two. For those who don’t know, Rust is another remake of a classic Modern Warfare map. Specifically belonging to 2009’s Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, Rust is modeled off of the Endgame mission from the game’s campaign. It’s a small map, but Rust offers a lot of vertical movement–allowing you to ambush enemies from both above and below.

Most of Season Two’s content will drop on day one, but you’ll need to wait until later in the season to see the rest of the new modes, maps, operators, and weapons.

In GameSpot’s Call of Duty: Modern Warfare review, Kallie Plagge wrote, “The pitfalls of Spec Ops don’t detract from what Modern Warfare does well, though. Realism mode is an excellent addition to the slate, and although not all the new multiplayer modes are great, Gunfight and the Night Vision playlist are refreshing standouts. And while the campaign ends up playing it safe in the end, it’s still a memorable one, and it lays a strong foundation for where the Modern Warfare series could go from here.”

Though it’s incredibly obvious–given the annual nature of the franchise–Activision Blizzard has confirmed that a new Call of Duty game is in development and scheduled to release later this year.

Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare Season 2 Begins Tomorrow, Here’s What It Adds

Leave a comment

Another new Call of Duty game is on the way later this year, but in the meantime, a new season of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare is about to kick off very soon. Season 2 of Activision’s hit shooter begins on PS4, Xbox One, and PC tomorrow, February 11, and it’ll bring a new Battle Pass, free maps, modes, and lots of other content over the next few weeks.

First, two new multiplayer maps will be available for all players right from launch day: Rust and Atlas Superstore. The former is a classic battleground originally featured in Modern Warfare 2, while the latter is an entirely new map set in a warehouse. A third new multiplayer map, Khandor Hideout, will also arrive during the season.

On top of that, Season 2 will launch with a new map for both Ground War (Zhokov Boneyard) and Gunfight (Bazaar). Two new multiplayer modes will also be available from the start of the season, including Gunfight Tournaments–a limited-time 2v2 single elimination competition for 32 teams.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Season 2 roadmap

Rounding out the launch day content is Ghost, who is being added to Modern Warfare as a playable Operator. Two new free weapons will also be available from the start of the season: the Grau 5.56 and Striker 45.

Developer Infinity Ward will be rolling out even more content during the course of Season 2, including another handful of new modes such as Demolition, Infected Ground War, and NVG Reinforce. This season will also add another two Operators to the mix–Talon and Mace–as well as a new, as-yet-unrevealed weapon. You can read more about Season 2 on Activision’s official website.

As previously mentioned, Season 2 of Modern Warfare will launch alongside a new Battle Pass, which will be split into free and paid tiers. Any near gear that affects the game’s balance–such as the aforementioned Grau 5.56 and Striker 45–will be unlockable through the free tier, while the latter will offer cosmetics, weapon blueprints, XP tokens, and other benefits. Activision is also offering a Battle Pass Bundle, which can be purchased anytime during the season and will grant you 20 Tier skips.

Classic CoD Map Rust Returns In Modern Warfare Season 2

Leave a comment

Along with their announcement that they’re releasing a new Call of Duty this new Call of Duty this year, Activision has revealed the roadmap for Season 2 of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare’s multiplayer, and it includes an old favorite: Rust. Known as one of the smallest maps in the entire Call of Duty franchise, Rust has divided fans since it first debuted back in 2009’s Modern Warfare 2.

Like the infamous Shipment from Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, the compact size of the map means that you’re likely to spawn in the crosshairs of one of your opponents, making for very quick matches. The map is also known for encouraging tactics that some players dislike, like camping and grenade spamming. Still, if you like quick and dirty close-quarters-combat, Rust is the map for you.

Rust takes place in the middle of a sandstorm

Rust will be available at the launch of Season 2 on February 11, and it’s free to those who already own Modern Warfare. It also includes new maps and a Battle Pass. Not everything will be available on day one, but there is plenty of content hitting on Tuesday.
