Everything in Modern Warfare Season 2 roadmap: maps, modes, weapons, more

Infinity Ward

Activision and Infinity Ward have released the official roadmap for Modern Warfare Season Two which details all of the new content that will be released on day one and throughout the following weeks.

The highly-anticipated second season of Modern Warfare was finally officially revealed on February 10 after a plethora of leaks had surfaced about the new content in the days prior.

As with Season 1, this next chapter will be jam-packed with content that won’t be all released at once; some of it will go live right on the first day, but the rest will be made available at various points throughout the season.

Modern Warfare Season 2 Roadmap:

There are plenty of highlights from the roadmap; there will be a combined five new maps added between multiplayer, Gunfight, and Ground War.

There will also be a bunch of new modes and playlists released, including a CDL Playlist that will feature the official Call of Duty League ruleset, albeit falling short of the ranked mode that everyone’s been calling for.

Players will also be pleased to see that, in addition to the two new weapons released on day one, there will be a third “classified” gun added at some point during Season 2.

Utilize the environment for cover and grab the high ground and low ground to take advantage of your enemies.
  • Atlas Superstore – Go shopping in Atlas Superstore, a new Multiplayer map that takes place in a supercenter warehouse that has been taken over by Al-Qatala forces.

The only exception will be the premium Tiers of the Battle Pass, which will cost 1,000 CoD Points to unlock. However, all of those items will be purely cosmetic and can’t affect actually gameplay.
