Not everyone who plays Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 is in it for the PvP. Even the gamers who adore the multiplayer modes will be wanting to test out the campaign at some point to get the complete experience. By playing both, players get a more dynamic combat experience.

But unlike previous titles, the campaign isn't front and center for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. Players that open up the game will find that the main page doesn't have a link to the campaign. So how are players supposed to explore the single-player mode? Thankfully, it's not too difficult.

Updated on February 28th, 2023 by Hodey Johns: Although this article addresses a simple question, it has been one of the most asked questions since the game's release. It shouldn't be surprising that a game increasingly marketed as a multiplayer shooter is steering players away from the offline experience. Still, the results of this topic prove that the demand is still there and players are frustrated that participating in this mode isn't obvious when starting the game. To make the information easier to find, a set of directions has been bulleted under the heading of the first section. For gamers more interested in a visual guide, pictures have been provided to show exactly where to find the campaign.

Campaign Location

Call Of Duty Modern Warfare II (2022) Scrolling Down On The Main Page
  • Start the game.
  • Scroll down on the main screen.
  • Select the desired campaign mode.

After opening up the game, players will be given a few featured buttons to use on the main screen. These are buttons for online modes since that's the largest demographic being targeted by the developers. They're worth keeping an eye on to see if the gunfight maps make a big return. Just underneath those buttons, players can barely see the top of some other multiplayer options.

Scroll down in that direction to see the full list of modes. New game modes may arrive soon, so revisit this area often. Even multiplayer gamers will want to check to see if something new got added here.

Call Of Duty Modern Warfare II (2022) Selecting The Campaign Mode

From here, select the campaign area. For those just barely starting out, choose "New Game" and get started. Those who are partway or fully finished with the campaign will be able to choose individual missions or review prior cinematics with the next two icons. It's a relatively glitch-free experience, lacking the invincible enemies sometimes found in the multiplayer.

The co-op is not technically part of the campaign, but there are some impactful missions here. Completionists should take note that there are star ratings on each of the co-op missions. Of course, randomly selected players online might ruin the rating, so choose a buddy to get started on these PvE events. When queuing without a friend, learn the basics before getting matched up to keep from ruining the mission for the other ally.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 is available now on PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
