The entirety of the third seasonal adjustment and content addition will reportedly be divided into two parts - some which launch on the day of the update itself, and others arriving alongside the mid-season update. Here is a list of all the content for Modern Warfare 2.

Modes

  • Gunfight: A 2v2 game mode will arrive with four maps. Players will fight in a cage-match style with random loadouts for a fast-paced experience.
  • Special Ops: Mid-season update will introduce the Defender: Hafid Port Special Ops mission and prepare players for a new Raid episode.
