Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Season 2 will add at least four new maps, though it’s unclear if these new maps will all be added on February 11 or if they will be released throughout the season. The maps included are the previously leaked Modern Warfare 2 map Rust, a Walmart-like 6v6 map called Atlas Superstore, a new Gunfight map called Bazaar, and a new Ground War map called Zhokov Boneyard.

Modern Warfare Season 1 started with multiple new maps, so it’s possible the same will happen with Modern Warfare Season 2, though that has yet to be confirmed at the time of this writing. Regardless, the new maps should give Modern Warfare fans plenty to do, regardless of which game mode they prefer.
It’s a little surprising that Rust isn’t pulling double duty as both a 6v6 map and a Gunfight map. After all, Rust is a Call of Duty map famous for its small size, and so one would imagine that it would be perfect for Gunfight. However, it looks like Rust is being slightly altered in Modern Warfare, and perhaps those changes are what’s keeping it from being used in the Gunfight rotation. Then again, it’s possible that the leaked Modern Warfare 2 trailer doesn’t tell the whole story and Rust will indeed be used in both Gunfight and 6v6, like we’ve seen with Shipment.
Rust isn’t the only Modern Warfare 2 map that is coming to Modern Warfare in Season 2, though. The Zhokov Boneyard Ground War map seems to be partly made up of Scrapyard, another fan favorite MW2 map. This could be an indication that Scrapyard will eventually have a standalone release as a Modern Warfare 6v6 multiplayer map, though that’s just speculation at this time.
Besides new maps, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Season 2 will also let fans play as new operator Simon “Ghost” Riley and much more. Expect more specific details from Activision sooner rather than later.
