MW2 and Warzone 2 Season 2 is finally here and with that comes a ton of new and exciting content. After a two week delay, this update was definitely worth the wait. Be it new weapons, new maps, new game modes, or anything in between, this new season has it all. With a ton of content to cover let’s jump straight into it.

Warzone 2.0

The Season 2 update is spearheaded by the reintroduction of fan-favorite game mode Resurgence. Not only is Resurgence now in Warzone 2.0 but there is a brand new map for it… Ashika Island. Ashika Island, similar to Rebirth Island, is a small-scale map that encourages quick gunfights so there’s never a dull moment. DMZ players can get in on the fun too, but more on that later. With a ton of new locations to explore, drop into Ashika Island now and fight for that sought after victory!

However, if you though Ashika Island was the only update to Warzone you couldn’t be further from the truth. Finally, Call of Duty has reintroduced the classic 1v1 Gulag, something fans have been asking for for quite some time now. Not only that, but a new Restore Honor mechanic, a Search and Seizure contract, Redeploy Drones, a Data Heist event, and a brand new AI combatant known as a Rusher add into the excitement. In addition, a new Point of Interest will seem familiar to fans of 2009’s Modern Warfare 2.

Finally, Warzone 2.0 Combat Records come online with Season 2. Players can know track the stats they accumulate across all modes in Warzone 2.0. All stats from before this point will however be lost.

DMZ

As mentioned earlier, DMZ players can also experience Ashika Island as it has been introduced as a new extraction zone. A brand new boss enemy, known as the Bombmaker, joins the fight as well and has a HUGE target on his back for any courageous players. Furthermore, a new faction, Crown, enters the fray offering up new missions for players to complete and earn plenty of exclusive rewards. However, only players that own Modern Warfare II can access the missions this faction has to offer.

Not only that, but a new Personal Watercraft (jetski) vehicle allows players to speedily traverse the waters in both Warzone 2.0 and DMZ.

Modern Warfare II

Fans of multiplayer… the time to celebrate has come as Season 2 is jam-packed with tons of exciting content. Two new maps, or sorta new maps, have been added as deploy locations for players to bring the fight to. Modern Warfare 3’s Dome has made a return in this season… please make sure to never, and I mean never, throw a flashbang at FaZe Jev. Also, Valderas Museum, originally seen in the beta, has finally be readded to the map pool with Season 2. Above all of that, Call of Duty surprised all of us yesterday by confirming that a brand new never before seen map will be added to multiplayer with Season 2 Reloaded. In addition, two new battle maps in Al Malik International and Zaya Observatory have been introduced.

New maps are not the only thing to get excited about as brand new game modes are now available for all players. Fan favorite game modes Infected, Grind, and Gun Game are live right now! Not only that, but Tier 1 has been replaced by the returning classic Hardcore mode… you’re welcome camo grinders. Later on in the season, Drop Zone, One in the Chamber, and All or Nothing will be added into the fray.

Atomgrad was just the beginning of the raids in Modern Warfare II as a brand new raid mission is introduced later on in the season.

However, maybe the most exciting update to MWII multiplayer is the introduction of Ranked Play. Players will fight for SR to rank up all the way from Bronze to the Top 250 leaderboard, earning plenty of exclusive rewards along the way. New features including SR Forgiveness, Relegation Protection, and more make the ranked experience that much more enjoyable.

Finally, multiplayer leaderboard are now online.

General Updates

The start of the new season sees the introduction of a brand new Battle Pass full of rewards to unlock. Three new weapons are added to players’ arsenals with Season 2: the ISO Hemlock assault rifle, the KV Broadside shotgun, and the Dual Kodachis melee weapon. However, those are not the only new weapons coming in Season 2. Later on in Season 2 we see the addition of the Tempus Torrent marksman rifle.

Further, a new challenge set called the Path of the Ronin challenges begins right now. Over the coming weeks, new challenges unlock in the set with exclusive rewards being unlocked with the completion of each. For players strong enough to conquer all the challenges, they are handsomely rewarded with the new Crossbow marksman rifle.

Ronin, an operator that veterans of the franchise will be familiar with joins the fight in Season 2.

Not only that, but players can now rank up all the way to Prestige 9, unlocked at level 450. As players level up, exclusive rewards are unlocked along the way.
