Here Are All the Key Updates and Changes Coming to Call of Duty Modern Warfare II Multiplayer, Warzone 2, and DMZ Content in Season 2

Since its anticipated arrival last year in October 2022, Call of Duty Modern Warfare II has been in the news for numerous reasons. Despite being a blockbuster release, many players have given it a lukewarm response to say the least. Their major concern has been the lack of content. It’s something most of the people in the community have talked about in the past few months. Hence, the makers have taken notice of the feedback and are now leaving no stone unturned in making the action title better and more engaging.

Call of Duty will soon drop a new season for Modern Warfare II. Previously, the update was rumored to be released at the beginning of February. But then, the developing team pushed it back a little further. Talking about what it will offer, there are many things to get hyped for. From multiplayer to the battle royale experience and DMZ, fans will witness a variety of transitions.

Call of Duty Modern Warfare II and Warzone 2 DMZ – Every new map, mode, and features confirmed for Season 2

Before rolling out the next season, the devs had revealed a full blog detailing all the content updates and information for Season 2. Whether it’s Warzone 2 or Multiplayer, the game lovers will get exciting opportunities to have a more enjoyable experience compared to how Season 1 has turned out to be. Let’s have a look at what new additions are coming to each mode in Season 2:

Warzone 2 battle royale updates

There’s a brand new, Japanese-themed map coming to the game in Ashika Island. It will serve the Resurgence mode, which will make its return after a long time since the days of the original Warzone. This island will consist of 7 main POIs (points of interest) from which players can decide to choose their favorite, best landing spots upon the launch of Season 2.

Furthermore, Call of Duty Warzone 2 will also have a new feature called Restore Honor. Plus, a new contract called Search and Seizure will also be making its appearance. Most importantly, the Gulag will shift back to a 1v1 format, compared to the existing 2v2. What’s more? Well, there won’t be any backpacks this time, which means that looting will be better in Season 2.

DMZ specific updates and changes

Players will receive a complete reset of all the missions they have finished so far in Season 1. To be precise, there will be a clean wipe of their progression. Although the wipe will reset the Contrabend weapons and Keys, the Insured Weapon Slots will remain unchanged, along with any other permanent content earned in Season 1.

Similar to the battle royale mode of Warzone 2, DMZ will also feature both Al Mazrah as well as Ashika Island for its missions. Players will get the options to choose the map of their choice before starting a match. Interestingly, they will be able to access Building 21 anytime they want, when going into the extraction based mode. This is a major upgrade as it isn’t the case at all in the ongoing season.

Modern Warfare II Multiplayer changes

The Multiplayer setup will receive four new maps, out of which two are dedicated battle maps – Zaya Observatory and Al Malik International airport. The remaining core maps in Dome and Valderas Museum will serve the regular 6v6 modes. Moreover, Hardcore and Ranked Play will return in Season 2 from the previous entries. When it comes to crucial MP modes arriving in the next update, they are Infected, Grind, and All or Nothing. Gun Game, One in the Chamber, and Drop Zone will also be there.

Speaking of Ranked Play in detail, it will now have something called Skill Rating (SR). It will determine the players’ skill division they belong to based on the results of every ranked match they play. Winning a battle will increase the skill rating while losing will result in a reduced rating. This is how players will be able to know their skill division going by the SR. Speaking of the eight ranks, then they are called the following:

• Bronze
• Silver
• Gold
• Platinum
• Diamond
• Crimson
• Iridescent
• Top 250

Hardcore, Search and Destroy, and Control will be the main modes included in the Ranked Play experience. Call of Duty players will need to be at Level 16 in order to access Ranked Play. Activision‘s Modern Warfare II will get the Season 2 update on February 15th, 2023.
