Attention all Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone fans, the moment you’ve been waiting for is finally here! Season 2 is set to arrive on February 7, and if the teasers are anything to go by, players are in for a treat. Activision has released details about the upcoming season, and it’s safe to say that there’s a lot to look forward to.
The theme for Season 2 revolves around zombies and The Walking Dead, with a crossover that is sure to excite fans of both franchises. The upcoming event, titled The Walking Dead: Fear the Living, will run from February 28 to March 6, offering players the chance to earn new cosmetic rewards and participate in some thrilling gameplay.
One of the most exciting announcements for Season 2 is the introduction of new operators. Players who purchase the premium pass will be able to instantly unlock the Rick Grimes operator skin, and Michonne will arrive later in the season as a store bundle. Additionally, Kate Laswell from Modern Warfare 3 will be getting her first operator skin with this new battle pass, adding even more variety to the game.
In addition to new operators, Season 2 will also bring four new weapons for players to get their hands on. The BP50 assault rifle and RAM-9 submachine gun will be available in the free tiers of the battle pass, while the SOA Subverter battle rifle and the Soulrender melee weapon can be earned later in the season. This is just the tip of the iceberg, as seven more aftermarket parts have been announced as well, promising endless customization options for players.
Warzone’s popular Fortune’s Keep map returns in Season 2, bringing with it the new Ranked Play Resurgence mode. Ranked Play will launch shortly after the start of the season, featuring similar rules, skill divisions, and rewards as previous years of Ranked Play. The mode will be played in Resurgence trios and will be exclusive to the Fortune’s Keep map, adding a new layer of strategy and excitement to the game.
The return of Fortune’s Keep will also bring some structural changes and new gameplay features, including a limited-time contract to eradicate zombie nests, Zombies-themed power-ups, extendable bridges, and a new score tracker detailing a team’s squad wipe streaks. These additions are sure to keep players on their toes and add an extra level of challenge to the game.
On the multiplayer side, Season 2 adds several new maps to the game, including Stash House, Vista, and Departures as three standard 6v6 maps that will arrive at launch. Operation Tin Man is a new map for the game’s large-scale War mode, offering players a variety of experiences to enjoy. Additionally, a remastered version of Vanguard’s popular Das Haus will arrive later in the season, and Skidrow and Terminal will receive Zombies-themed variants for the Vortex multiplayer mode.
But that’s not all! Season 2 also introduces five new game modes, including Team Gun Game, Snipers Only, and Hordepoint at launch. Later in the season, a brand-new game mode called Juggermosh will arrive, offering a third-person-perspective variant mode with all players equipped with juggernaut suits for a mix of Kill Confirmed, Domination, and Hardpoint modes. These new game modes promise to add even more variety and excitement to the game.
In addition to all the new content and gameplay updates, the Season 2 Zombies update includes a new Dark Aether story act and Dark Aether Rift to unlock, more schematics to grind for, and a new warlord boss to fight. While these additions are scheduled for the midseason update, they are sure to bring new life to the game and give players even more ways to enjoy the world of Call of Duty.
