While these should be taken with a grain of salt, there’s sometimes a lot of truth to various rumors and datamines, especially around a game likeCall of Duty: Modern Warfare. As such, here’s every major detail revealed about season 2 revealed through these various leaks. It’s worth adding that CoD points, new blueprints, and new operator skins have all been mentioned as well but are generally expected anyway.

Confirmed Modern Warfare Season 2 Information
Infinity Ward has confirmed a few details for the upcoming season. Season one ends on the same day that season 2 beings: February 11. This is whenCall of Duty: Modern Warfareplayers can dive in and get a peek at the new Battle Pass and content. Furthermore, it has also confirmed the addition ofModern Warfare 2’s Ghostand fan-favorite map Rust. All of this is a step in the right direction for the franchise, but there’s plenty that should come out alongside it.
Modern Warfare Map Leaks
Other than the confirmation ofModern Warfare’s Rust, there hasn’t been too much in the way of which maps will be added this season. For the most part, it seems that a few small maps, a ground war map, and 6v6 maps are the biggest priority in the community, so there could be something there. Furthermore, in the brief seven second trailer for season 2, there appears to be a jet engine in the background (around the 5 second mark). This could indicate that Scrapyard is the aforementioned ground war map, but that remains to be seen.
Modern Warfare Gun and Game Mode Leaks
Via a leak from theCall of Dutywebsite, the Grau 5.56 and Striker 45 have been confirmed as base weapons associated with season 2. A few other rumors point at a new LMG and the Ballistic Knife, but those have less weight forModern Warfare.
As far as game modes go, leaks dating back to January put One in the Chamber and All or Nothing inCall of Duty: Modern Warfare. The aforementioned Ballistic Knife rumor has also pointed some to think that Sticks and Stones would be a playable game mode, but that seems to be less likely. After all, these rumors hinge on one animation that could just be a simple animation.
It has also been confirmed that there are currently"no plans" for ranked play inModern Warfare; in fact, it doesn’t even appear to be in development. Many think thatCall of Duty: Modern Warfare’s SBMM is basically ranked play, so it remains to be seen how this is eventually handled.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Battle Royale
A survey late last year asked what it would take for those who have tuned out ofModern Warfareto return. One of the most overwhelming answers was aCall of Duty: Modern Warfarebattle royale map, which leaked well before launch and is all but officially confirmed to be in development. Rumors and signs have pointed to the battle royale mode coming soon, but on the other hand, others have indicated that the battle royale map has been delayed. This could mean that instead of appearing in season 2, it’ll appear in season 3.
Most of these leaks come from a recent leak via theCall of Dutywebsite, adding a lot of credence to at least some of these ideas. However, it’s worth noting that the battle royale map has not been mentioned there, meaning that the delay could be a legitimate thing. This won’t likely be mentioned by Infinity Ward, though, so it’ll be interesting to see how thisModern Warfarebattle royale modecomes into play…however long that takes.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfareis out now for PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
