After numerous leaks and a long wait, the Season 2 roadmap of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare has finally been officially presented. We will show you what content you can expect right at the start and what to look forward to throughout the new season.
The Season 2 Roadmap – Players had to wait a long time for this: Finally, Activision and Infinity Ward have officially unveiled the new Season 2 of CoD: Modern Warfare – in the form of a new roadmap.
However, players were kept in the dark for a long time. It was only on the eve of the launch of the new Season 2 that it was officially announced what to expect in Modern Warfare in spring 2020. Before that, there were only leaks and speculations. Let’s take a look at the new content. What does Season 2 bring?
By the way, you can watch the launch trailer for Season 2 here: CoD MW Season 2: Even the trailer has now leaked, but where is the presentation?
These new contents will await you right at the start of the Modern Warfare Season 2
When exactly does Season 2 start? The start time: The new season starts on February 11 at 7:00 PM German time – on all platforms (PS4, Xbox One, PC)
Will there be an update for Modern Warfare regarding Season 2? This is highly likely. However, there is no information yet on how extensive it will be and what exactly it will include.
Do you have to pay for Season 2? No. All substantial and gameplay-relevant contents of Season 2, such as new maps, modes, or base weapons, are free for all players and on all platforms.
However, for the additional premium rewards from the new Season 2 Battle Pass, you will have to pay extra by purchasing the Battle Pass (costs 10€).

New Maps
On Day 1, at least 4 new maps will be introduced for different modes:
- The popular and already leaked Rust returns for the standard formats. It is a relatively small map for intense close-quarters combat set in an oil refinery in the Middle East.
- A brand new map, Atlas Superstore, will be available for modes like Team Deathmatch or Domination. It is a type of large supermarket with a warehouse where combat occurs at both close and long ranges.
- For the large 64-player Ground War mode, the new map Zhokov Boneyard comes. This is an old aircraft graveyard filled with many old wrecks, containers, and other junk.
- The fast-paced Firefight format will also receive at least one new map right at the start. It’s called Bazaar and, as the name suggests, takes place in a winding market in Urzikstan.
- For the Firefight mode, the roadmap indicates “and more” regarding new maps. However, no further details have been communicated about this.
New Multiplayer Modes
On February 11, 2 new multiplayer modes are set to enrich the multiplayer battles in Modern Warfare:
- The Firefight Tournaments, which are being introduced as a time-limited mode after their beta phase. Here, you fight with a partner in a 2vs2 format in a knockout system against 31 other teams for rewards until one team emerges as the tournament champion.
- Additionally, the CDL Playlist (Call of Duty League) will be introduced, where you can compete with the strictly regulated rules of the professional league.
New Battle Pass
Once Season 2 goes live, the new Battle Pass with 100 tiers will also be activated.
Free Rewards: This has a free rewards track for all players. There are only a few rewards available (not at every tier), but you still get all gameplay-relevant items, such as the 2 new weapons of Season 2.
Premium Rewards: If you want to snag a reward at each of the 100 tiers, you will need to purchase access to the premium rewards branch of the Battle Pass for 10€ (1,000 CoD points). However, almost all prizes there are purely cosmetic. But there are also CoD points and XP boosts among others.
How to get your money back: If you manage to fully unlock the premium Battle Pass, you will end up with a total of 1,300 CoD points in the end, allowing you to finance the Battle Pass for the next season.

New Operator
With Ghost, Season 2 introduces an absolute cult figure from the Modern Warfare series – Simon “Ghost” Riley. This operator is unlocked immediately when you purchase the Season 2 Battle Pass for 10€.
Additionally, you can earn another skin for this elite soldier through the Battle Pass.
However, even though many are excited about Ghost’s return, not everyone is happy with his new look: CoD MW brings back the cult character in a new look, but many want the old Ghost
New Weapons
What kind of weapons are they? Season 2 will introduce 2 new weapons right at the start. They are:
- Grau 5.56 – a battle rifle styled after the Sig 552 Commando
- Striker 45 – a submachine gun reminiscent of the LWRCI SMG 45
How the weapons perform and what exactly they can do will be revealed soon here on MeinMMO. Here you can read about how to unlock them: CoD MW: Unlock new weapons Grau 5.56 and Striker 45 – Here’s how
How to get the weapons? Just like in Season 1, via the Battle Pass. In Season 1, the weapons were available through the free reward branch and were tied to a specific tier. This will not change in Season 2.
But what happens to the Battle Pass weapons after the season ends?
These contents will still await you during Season 2
After the first fresh content drop at the beginning of the new season, you can expect more new content throughout Season 2. You can look forward to the following, among other things:
- The new multiplayer map Khandor Hideout.
- The 2 new operators Talon (Canadian Special Forces) and Mace (former US Ranger).
- At least 3 new multiplayer modes. Already confirmed are Infection Ground War, NVG Reinforce, Demolition, and other Firefight variants. However, other new modes are also expected to follow in Season 2.
- A new weapon, which is still a secret for now. However, it is likely to be a new shotgun – specifically the M26 MASS. This could potentially be unlocked through an in-game challenge, just like the crossbow in Season 1. However, no further information is available yet.
What about Battle Royale?
Battle Royale has been discussed regarding Modern Warfare since its release. Although the developers have never officially acknowledged it, there were several new leaks before Season 2 suggesting a potential introduction of a Battle Royale mode in Season 2.
And it looks like a Battle Royale is indeed coming with Season 2: CoD Modern Warfare: Battle Royale is all but confirmed – Here’s why
What do you think of the contents of Season 2 that are already known? Is there anything in particular you are looking forward to? Or does the new season leave you cold so far?
