Launch marks the start of content through the beginning of Season 01 and the release of Call of Duty: Warzone 2.0. Read on for a look at the highlights.
Campaign – Globe-Trotting, Single Player
Dive into the continuation of Modern Warfare’s (2019) storyline, which grows the in-game universe further with unprecedented global conflict. Check out the blog from last week for more details on the Campaign.
Multiplayer – Innovative, Immersive, and World Class
Modern Warfare II Multiplayer defines emergent gameplay with a focus on variety. On day one, there will be 12 unique modes: 10 traditional modes on Core Maps and two Ground War modes on Battle Maps.
These maps are grouped into one of three regional categories:
Al Mazrah
This metropolitan area and its outskirts within the Republic of Adal serve as the main region for Call of Duty: Warzone 2.0.
Several Core Maps and Battle Maps will be based in this region, making Multiplayer a phenomenal place to learn the various points of interest.
Las Almas
A major place of interest within the Modern Warfare II Campaign, Las Almas is a Central American region with a similar footprint to Al Mazrah.
In Multiplayer, the region will host a similar split of Core Maps and Battle Maps.
Other Locales
The last group of Multiplayer locales represents a mixture of Campaign environments and locations outside the main storyline, rounding out the universe with glimpses of what is happening in regions other than Al Mazrah and Las Almas.
Special Ops – Replayable Co-Op, Raids Coming in Season 01
An evolution of the Special Ops mode from Call of Duty: Modern Warfare (2019). It will feature three missions at launch, all taking place in Al Mazrah:
Bad Situation
Infiltrate a town in the dead of night to uncover intel and evidence left behind by Al Qatala before exfiltrating. Stealth is key to survival.
Vehicle Escape
Multiple SAM turrets are preventing reinforcements from entering Al Mazrah. Drive through the winding streets of a suburb to destroy them, and then speed over to the exfil plane to escape.
Observatory Defense
A bona fide survival mode. Defend the observatory from increasingly difficult waves of enemies attempting to detonate bombs. Between each wave, Operators can spend cash to get items such as Killstreaks, Self-Revive Kits, and armor plates.
In Special Ops, Operators will equip a Backpack to store equipment and choose from one of three available kits: Assault, Medic, and Engineer. Each offers a variety of items and abilities built for different strategies. Level up your Kits by earning Stars through missions and mission-related challenges.
We recommend completing all three Special Ops missions with three stars and leveling up at least one Kit to Rank 5 before Raids are introduced to Special Ops later in Season 01.
Prepare for Warzone 2.0 and Season 01, Dropping on November 16
Through Modern Warfare II Multiplayer and Special Ops, familiarize yourself with the core of Call of Duty: Warzone 2.0:
Operators – 25 Available at Launch. Eighteen can be unlocked during the Modern Warfare II pre-season. Plus, get two Mil-Sim Operators with four unique outfits unlocked by default and four unlocked via the Vault Edition.
Weapons – Over 30 Weapon Platforms at Launch for Over 50 Unique Weapons. Get anywhere from one to six unique weapons per platform. Vault Edition owners gain access to the FJX Cinder Weapon Vault (Weapon Vault design limited to Weapon Vault contents at launch), which contains all Receivers and attachments for one of the Weapon Platforms available at launch. Beta participants will have access to both their Weapon Blueprints, if unlocked during the Beta period.
Operators – Meet SpecGru and KorTac
Following the events of the Campaign, two private military contractors – SpecGru and KorTac – are founded as special forces for hire.
These two factions are ready to deploy in Modern Warfare II Multiplayer and Special Ops at launch. All players will automatically have access to the default Mil-Sim Operators for each faction.
Eighteen more Operators can be unlocked through Campaign, Multiplayer, and Special Ops challenges. In addition, four more Operators are available via the Vault Edition’s Red Team 141 pack.
Once unlocked, all these Operators will also be available in Call of Duty: Warzone 2.0, alongside new Operators arriving in Season 01 and beyond.
Weapons – Weapon Platforms and Gunsmith
At launch, there are over 30 unique Weapon Platforms available to unlock through the Military Ranks. Each Weapon Platform contains up to six weapons, which can be obtained by leveling up specific weapons within a Weapon Platform.
By unlocking all these Weapon Platforms and completing all applicable Weapon Platform progression thresholds, you will have 52 Primary and Secondary Weapons in your arsenal.
