Activision has just unveiled information about the upcoming Season 4 of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, and the new season will come with six new multiplayer maps available at launch. Aside from that, there’s yet another multiplayer area, which will be unveiled mid-season, giving plenty of content for the players of one of the best games in the Call of Duty franchise.
Activision really embraced the concept of games as a service in Modern Warfare 2. Since the game’s launch in October 2022, the company has been offering battle passes, different seasons, unique Call of Duty events, and constant updates for the fan base. So, most fans were eagerly waiting to see what Season 4 would bring to the table, especially in the multiplayer modes.
CoD: Modern Warfare 2 Season 4 will be out on June 14, and it will offer six new multiplayer maps for players at launch, including Showdown, Kunstenaar District, Mercado, Penthouse, Mawizeh Marsh, and Ahkdar Village. Also, the announcement stated that a seventh map will be released during the mid-season. However, not much information about it was unveiled so far.
Each map will be hugely different from the other, with Showdown, for instance, being a reimagining of a popular CoD 4: Modern Warfare map with a heavy emphasis on urban environments, while the Mawizeh Marshlands, on the other hand, will offer a huge swamp and vehicular combat. Players who want a more contained, intense experience can visit the Penthouse, which is a small area that features a rooftop in Chicago with a pool, an outdoor fire pit, and small interiors. The Mercado, on the other hand, is a larger map that will allow players to face each other inside a covered structure with several levels and some verticality. Aside from the maps, the expansion will also give players access to four new armaments.
The competitive scene in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 is pretty big, and the news about so many new maps coming up is not the only proof of that. Recently, Activision made the cheat provider Mobius shut down its activities. This was the largest cheat provider for the community, and the cease and desist letter was a very efficient method to put an end to the problem. So far, most of the anti-cheat updates were not enough to prevent players from breaking the rules, so the company decided to take real-world action to keep the game’s competitive scene clean.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 is available now on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S.
