CALL OF DUTY MODERN WARFARE 2. The release of the next Call of Duty is imminent. An event awaited by many fans who dream of rediscovering the sensations of Modern Warfare 2019. We take stock of the essential information.
[Mis à jour le 27 octobre 2022 à 17h49] In a few hours, one of the biggest franchises in the video game world will present its youngest. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, the nugget from Activision developed by Infinity Ward is released this Friday, October 28, an event not to be missed for the most keen fans of the famous FPS. The reason for this rush? The many promises of Activision which tries to restore the image of a series in decline for a few years. The juggernaut studio has multiplied the inclusions of content in this new release, to the point where we help you to award the essentials just below.
If you want to be among the first players to enter the battlefields of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, know that the release of the game is planned in two stages which will span Thursday 27 and Friday 28 next October. Indeed, once again, Activision has decided to differentiate between console and PC players. Console players will therefore be able to discover the game slightly ahead of its release on PS4, Xbox One, PS5 and Xbox Series the Thursday, October 27 at 11:59 p.m.while players computer will have to wait until Friday, October 28 at 6 a.m.. The game is already available for pre-download.
Please note that there are techniques to advance the release time of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, the most common being to change the region of your computer or console to benefit from the game at the same time as our New Zealand colleagues. and Australians. Except that, for once, this technique could well cost you your first hours of play. Activision and Infinity Ward have mentioned the fact that this practice could prevent you from logging in until the game’s release time. in your region.
The gameplay of COD Modern Warfare 2
From a technical point of view, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 does not differ much from Modern Warfare (2019). Based on the same graphic and obviously placed in the same time frame, the game intends to offer an experience sufficiently close to its beloved elder, while offering various innovations in terms of gameplay. We can notably speak of movements with the introduction of swimming on and under water, but also of some elements of destruction as well as the possibility of hanging on and shooting on the edges.
Among the new gameplay features, we can expect a lot from the new “Gunsmith” weapon customization system. You will have, in addition to the ten accessories to equip on your weapons, the possibility of changing the receiver, ie the caliber or even the primary function of the weapon. It will therefore be possible to transform an assault rifle into a submachine gun and vice versa. Also count on new accessories and equipment to pimp the multiplayer modes a bit, as usual.
Except that, to engage players to play a new Call of Duty every year, a cross-generation console therefore limited in terms of innovation, Activision must (and owe the player) to offer more, always more. And the juggernaut studio has understood this well by multiplying the content in this new Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. In addition to the campaign mode and the various multiplayer modes, the game will be accompanied by the release of a free-to-play : Warzone 2.0. The essential Battle Royale is therefore offered an offspring, as well as a brand new game mode: DMZ.
DMZ is a brand new experience brought to you by Infinity Ward in Call of Duty: Warzone 2.0. This is a multiplayer game mode that can accommodate a good hundred players, and which is based on the principle of “extraction shooters”. Introduced with Escape From Tarkov, this kind of FPS offers you an ultra-realistic tactical experience, where you and your team will have to browse, search, and secure objects on an open map, avoiding other players and more or less deadly bots. A genre that attracts a lot of players, and which would benefit from being democratized by a mode like DMZ.
DMZ will therefore bring together 100 players on Al Mazrah, a fairly high number for a shooter that wants to be tactical and hardcore, and an experience that seems for the moment closer to a Battle Royale. There will of course be AIs patrolling and defending certain points of interest. No mention was made of the loot system and the objects to recover, a rather important detail in an extraction shooter. Knowing that the failure of Battlefield 2042’s Hazard Zone mode was mainly due to the total absence of a rewarding progression system, we hope that DMZ will not fall into the same pitfalls.
Pre-order Call of Duty Modern: Warfare 2 today to enjoy various benefits when the game is released. This year, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 will be offered in 2 versions, the Standard version which includes the game and the game. access to the open beta (a few days early on Playstation consoles), and the Vault version which has all the advantages of the Standard version, plus the battle pass from the first season of the game, 50 levels, cosmetics and operators .

We are currently in a period of transition between two generations of consoles, and Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 intends to integrate this fact into its offer. This is why you will be able to find different versions of the game, some of which are cross-generation packs. These games are therefore compatible with both console generations, just like the offer above for the Xbox One and Xbox Series consoles. You will find the cross-generation packs at €79.99, i.e. the same price as the PS5 and Xbox Series games.
