Zombies isn't getting a new map in Season 1, but it is getting a few holiday treats that sound fun. Dropkick rounds out the modes with a twist on VIP that limits the player holding the “special” briefcase to a pistol. The gloriously goofy Prop Hunt mode is also making a triumphant return with what looks like the option to become an entire arcade machine. Since small maps are required for the mode to work, four Gunfight-specific maps are also on the way (more on that below). Three new modesĪs previously announced by Treyarch, Cold War is getting one of Modern Warfare’s standout hit modes: the intense 2v2 Gunfight.

What is this, Rainbow Six Siege? It’s too bad that both melee weapons and the shotgun are coming later in the season. I can’t wait to try out the Groza and Streetsweeper shotguns that I remember fondly from other Black Ops games, but I'm most excited to run around the map with a damn sledgehammer. The first weapon pack coming to Cold War is a bundle of series classics. He’s also got a bone to pick with Russel Adler (probably because Adler took his eye during a torture sesh).

The marquee day one op is Stitch, an agent of Perseus tasked with restoring Rebirth Island following the events of Black Ops 1's campaign. Three new operators are coming to Cold War/Warzone with one at launch and two more to be released throughout the season.

Zeyna (In season): Senegal-born DGSE Mobility and Heavy Weapons specialist.

Bulldozer (In season): US Marine with a specialty and close-quarters combat and hostage extraction.

Stitch (Launch week): An agent of Perseus and overseer of Rebirth Island.

You can find out all about what's coming to Warzone 2. Infinity Ward is building a new Warzone experience from the ground up with Modern Warfare 2, on a new engine that all COD games will share moving forward to avoid similar teething problems between their ecosystems. Vanguard brought an all-new map with it, Caldera, taking the fight into the Pacific arena and finally bringing a new location to the table and, from the sounds of it, Modern Warfare 2 will seek to make that an annual change.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 - Warzone 2.0Īfter the messy integrations of Black Ops Cold War and Vanguard into Warzone, with at various points a recycled map and unbalanced weapons, Activision seems to be aware that it has to stick the landing better when it comes to new COD titles getting mixed into its free-to-play sensation.
