In picking this Mission level to flaunt, Infinity Ward set the vibe for what Modern Warfare II is a visually stunning action-packed game that you’ll play around with this October 28… or as long as seven days sooner in the event that you carefully pre-order and exploit the Campaign Early Access.

And then the second half of the level, you’re doing a ramp jump into the back of a moving ship – somehow we made it work together to make it pretty badass.”
Notwithstanding Dark Water, we were shown a couple of other campaign missions, where we found out about a portion of the new movement mechanics and A.I. progressions coming to Call of Duty.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 is the sequel to 2019’s Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, a reboot of the original Modern Warfare trilogy that shares many characters but is not set in the same continuity.
Infinity Ward art director Joel Emslie has previously called it the studio’s “magnum opus,” which is quite confident considering the acclaim the first Modern Warfare and Modern Warfare 2 received.
We’ll know for sure when Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 launches on October 28 across PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PS4, and PS5. The game will be $70, including on PC. Call of Duty: Warzone’s sequel will be coming at a later date, as well.
