— MW2 OG (@TheMW2Ghost) May 18, 2022 According to Henderson, as with past CoD battle royale maps, this one will largely be stitched together from old CoD multiplayer maps. Henderson claims Highrise, Quarry, Terminal, and Afgan from the original Modern Warfare 2 will be returning. Here’s the purported full list of POIs contained within the new map (points are listed according to their location on the map, from top-left to bottom-right).
Oasis Wartorn Quarry (Quarry) Oilfield Modern City (Highrise) Caves (Afgan) Dam Marshes Harbor Sira Observatory Mountain town (assumed Fevela) Graveyard Oldtown Shipwreck Fishtown Fort Airport (Terminal)
Henderson also claims Warzone 2 will be adding a new “Stronghold” mechanic. These are pretty much exactly what they sound like – fortified locations spread across the map and guarded by AI, with players gaining access to potentially powerful loadouts by liberating them. Once a Stronghold has been taken, it’s yours, so you’ll have to be strategic about grabbing them. Finally, a very low-res video showing off Modern Warfare 2’s new gun-inspect feature has been making the rounds. Activision has been pulling these down as quickly as they go up, so I don’t guarantee this video will last for long. You should be able to find the footage with a quick Google search though.
Activision Blizzard has faced a series of lawsuits and other legal action on the heels of a suit filed by California’s Department of Fair Employment and Housing (DFEH) alleging widespread gender-based discrimination and sexual harassment at the Call of Duty publisher. You can get more details on that unfolding story here. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 is coming to unspecified platforms in 2022. A release window for Warzone 2 has not been confirmed yet.
