There have been rumors about a Battle Royale mode in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare for a long time. Now a player has discovered a possible map for the mode – due to a bug.
This is shown by the bug: The reddit user Nateberg3 suddenly found himself above the map during a round in the cooperative SpecOps mode. There he hovers and has a view over an unknown area.
The map shows several buildings, special building complexes, roads, and patches of mountains and forests, typical of a classic Battle Royale map. A large city is also relatively central.
The layout of the map and the distribution of buildings and locations seem designed for distribution and looting. It somewhat resembles the Battle Royale map from Black Ops 4.
The player thinks he has found the secret Battle Royale map of CoD: Modern Warfare.
Is a Battle Royale Coming?
Here is the current status: At the moment, there is still no confirmation from the developers whether Modern Warfare will actually get a Battle Royale mode. Before release, a 100-player mode was announced, which then turned out to be Ground War.
The big hype around Battle Royale seems to have passed, but giants like Fortnite and PUBG are still holding strong. Even Black Ops 4 attracted many players with its Battle Royale but could also drive some away.
These are the leaks about it: There have already been speculations and leaks regarding a BR mode in CoD: Modern Warfare. An earlier leak mentions a 200-player mode with a map that is twice the size of the BR map from Black Ops 4.
A newer leak from November comes from a data miner who claims to have found the map of the BR mode. The found image looks very similar to the map from Nateberg3’s video.

Players Unsure What to Make of It
This is the community’s stance: In general, many players wish for Modern Warfare to get a Battle Royale mode. Many would play it, and those who don’t like it don’t have to join.
With crossplay between Xbox One, PS4, and PC, there should be enough players for every mode. Only the priorities are a concern for fans:
I just hope they don’t do what Black Ops 4 did and focus almost all their attention on Battle Royale.

A Battle Royale mode is still missing as an option among the many multiplayer modes of Modern Warfare. The last leak suggests that it is expected to be released in early 2020. Whether that will be the case, we will soon see.
A BR mode would definitely align with previously unfulfilled promises:
