Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 has released its roadmap for Season 1. Included are the highlight maps from CoD MW 2019 – Shoot House (Release) and Shipment (Mid-Season). What other content is included in Season 1, we will show you here on MeinMMO.
The release of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 was the most successful launch of a premium title in the CoD series. The shooter attracted 40% more players than any other annual CoD title at launch.
However, some features were missing at launch that many players expected. With Season 1, that should change, and new content is also coming. Here’s an overview:
- Start: November 16 at 7 PM
- 2 classic maps
- Hardcore modes / Tier 1
- Combat statistics
- Battle Pass
- 4 new weapons
- Spec-Ops mission
- Raid – Episode 1
- 6 new operators
- Seasonal prestige system
- Modern Warfare FC
- Overview of the Warzone release
MeinMMO shows you the content details in overview. We separate the new features that come directly at the start of the season and content for the mid-season, which starts on December 14. In our Season Hub, you can also find information about the download.
CoD MW2: Season 1 – Content at Launch
When does Season 1 start? On November 16 at 7 PM it starts. The preload begins for owners of CoD MW2 already on November 14 at 7 PM.
This also applies to the new free Battle Royale Warzone 2.0. More information about the new Warzone can be found here.
What comes with Season 1? We also list the new features with a brief explanation:
- Hardcore modes – Tier 1
Fewer lives, hardly any HUD, and friendly fire – many CoD players prefer it a bit tougher, but at launch, the hardcore options were not in the game. They come with Season 1 under the new name “Tier 1”.
- 6v6 map: Shoot House
As was the case for the first Season of CoD MW 2019, Shoot House comes to the game. The map was brand new in 2019 and immediately became a classic with its 3-lane system and clear layout. One of the most popular maps back then is now returning with some adjustments.
- Combat statistics
Currently, you can view neither your global K/D in MW2 nor any other statistics. So far, you could only see your match K/D. With Season 1, such things become visible.
- Battle Pass / 3 new weapons
Modern Warfare 2 is now the fourth consecutive CoD with a Battle Pass. Here you can get over 100 in-game items for around €10, but you would need to put in considerable playtime. There are also free tiers.
Through 2 of the free tiers, you will receive the new weapons: Victus XMR Sniper Rifle and BAS-P SMG (“Bruen Ops” platform). Additionally, you can unlock the assault rifle Chimera (“Bruen Ops” platform) through a challenge.
- Spec-Ops mission
The fourth Spec-Ops mission: One player sits in the helicopter above and supports player 2, who clears and searches buildings below alongside NPC allies.
- Seasonal prestige system
If you reach rank 56, you will promote to Prestige 2. This unlocks challenges through which you can earn cosmetics. You reach Prestige 2 at Level 100, and the maximum prestige level of Season 1 is Prestige 5 at Level 250.
Unlike in the prestige systems of previous years, you can now “prestige” in advance. If you go beyond the 250 levels, you retain your progress for the next season.
CoD MW2: Season 1 – Content During the Season
When does the mid-season start? On December 14, the second phase of Season 1 begins. However, not all content will arrive on the specified date – some things will also come “in-season” and do not have an exact release date:
- Modern Warfare FC – In-Season
Neymar (November 21), Pogba (November 25), Messi (November 29) – the three famous football stars come as operators into the game. There will also be a small event and a mini-game mode – more details will come later.
- Assault Rifle M13B – Mid-Season
At mid-season, there is another rifle for the “Bruen Ops” platform – the assault rifle M13B, which looks suspiciously similar to the M13 from CoD MW 2019.
- Shipment – Mid-Season
The epitome of grind maps of Call of Duty and probably the most popular map of the Modern Warfare series. Usually, you can’t last long on the small map, but many players still love it.
- Raid: Episode 1 – Mid-Season
There are not all details yet about the new PvE activity. The developers write: “Raids continue the story of the MW2 campaign and will be the ultimate challenge for trios with a mix of stealth, uncompromising action, and puzzles.”.
That was everything currently known about the new content of Modern Warfare 2 in Season 1.
Additionally, the new free Battle Royale Warzone is starting, including the Extraction mode DMZ. If you want to know more about Warzone 2.0, check it out here.
