Call of Duty developer Infinity Ward has fully unveiled its Modern Warfare 2 & Warzone 2.0 roadmap for Season 2, and it's safe to say the info drop is proving somewhat controversial. While Warzone 2.0 players seem fairly satisfied with what's coming during the game's second season, MW2 multiplayer fans are starting to feel a little frustrated.
Fan frustration spawns from the fact that, so far, there haven't been any brand-new 6v6 multiplayer maps for Modern Warfare 2 yet, and that trend continues into Season 2. The game's first season delivered two remakes with 'Shipment' and 'Shoothouse', while the second season is bringing another remake, 'Dome', and a returning beta map with 'Valderas Museum' - the latter of which was supposed to be a base game map before its release was delayed.
There's plenty of other content crammed into this roadmap for Warzone 2.0, and 'Ground War' players, but fresh standard multiplayer content is a little thin on the ground - and players are making that point known:
It's worth remembering that Warzone 2.0 is a free-to-play game, with MW2's $70 price point likely adding to growing fan frustration about the lack of meaningful post-launch content for multiplayer users.
While we think the reaction is perhaps a little overblown — good map remakes are always welcome and there are still new weapons etc. included here — we have to agree that the full-priced game should be getting as much of a focus as Warzone 2.0.
Hopefully the multiplayer content pipeline picks up as the game moves along in 2023. Failing that, it looks like another CoD game may actually launch this year, if you're already looking forward to what's next! Who'd have known?
What do you make of all this? Are you happy with the roadmap? Leave your comments down below.

nothing makes me want to play more than seeing an official tweet telling me to 'GRIND to the top'
If only CoD had forge
My wife accidentally bought MW2. Tried to play it, but I just… can’t? I dunno. I loved MW1 and BLOPs4 for multiplayer, was honestly the peak of the series for me, but Cold War was relatively tepid, despite an interesting Zombies mode, and Vanguard was straight up boring. MW2 felt like a souped up Vanguard to me. I just haven’t been able to get back into it. It does seem better, but it also seems stale. I dunno what it is. I sort of feel like CoD should take a year off to allow it time to be new again.
Activision for really just focus on making Warzone the ONLY place for CoD multiplayer.
Add in classic multiplayer modes to the game (for those who don't want the BR side) and let that be it.
They can cycle developers through Warzone duty to inject some new ideas into the mix.
Well, if CoD is dying might as well hand it over to Xbox, right ps-ers?
Just excited to finally play on Dome again! One of my all time favorite maps
Wait so I was right all along gee who would have thought it.
As I have been saying CoD has been dead since MW 2019. These games just use the CoD name to trick people into buying them.
@Friendly Agree, but I also could care less what PSers think.
The free to play modes get all the attention & people that payed the £70 for the 'premium' experience are an afterthought , I find it laughable that the classic modern warfare 2 characters from the campaign such as Captain Price , Ghost & Soap are all locked behind the expensive 'vault' edition of the game & a map that was in the beta has been hidden until now so they can add it in as a 'new' map & say they're adding content
I hope they keep supporting the mw2 multiplayer as I can't stand Warzone.
This is my first fps game since Quake as a kid and haven't had a single kill in Warzone yet. Always the same story. Wait for the game to load, run around the map for 5 minutes trying to be as stealthy as I can then get shot by someone I didn't even see.
I had hoped that after a few games, some sort of skill based match making would kick in but it either doesn't work or there isn't a level low enough for me.
war zone brown dirt map is zzz
