On the Modern Warfare 2 side of things, fans will see the return of two iconic maps from the series in Shoot House and Shipment, which have been reimagined for the latest title. Moreover, while Ranked Play is being currently developed by Infinity Ward along with Treyarch, players can satisfy their competitive needs with the new CDL Moshpit Playlist, featuring modes like Hardpoint, Search & Destroy, and Control.

Special Ops also receives a new mission titled High Ground, which sures sounds fun. Moreover, Activision has also confirmed that Raids will drop as a mid-season update for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2.

Season 1 will also bring about a new Battle Pass for players to purchase. Along with several cosmetics and other cool items, players will also receive four new weapons – Victus XMR Sniper Rifle, BAS-P SMG, Chimera Assault Rifle, and M13B Assault Rifle. Other than that, three new Operators in Zeus, Klaus, and Gaz will be added alongside the three football stars in Neymar, Messi and Pogba, who join as part of a collaboration through the Modern Warfare FC event.

When it comes to the Warzone side of things, fans are excited to try out all the new features that will be part of the Call of Duty Battle Royale experience. Along with the game’s latest map in Al Mazrah, COD players can’t wait to try out the new Gulag, vehicles, and other features like Aquatic Combat, Proximity Chat, Third-Person Playlists and more.

Moreover, the game also launches with a new mode in DMZ, which will involve factions-based missions. While most of the community is intrigued by the concept, popular Twitch streamer Shroud isn’t quite impressed by it.

In a recent stream, Shroud claimed that DMZ felt like a reworked version of Plunder from the original Warzone. While some players suggested that DMZ works as a casual variant of hardcore FPS title, Escape from Tarkov, the streamer clarified that the two games were way different because of Warzone 2.0 lacking all those elements.

“I’m a little disappointed, I will say. I was hoping it would be a little bit more gritty, little bit more hardcore.”
