Warzone 2.0

The next iteration of the massive free-to-play Battle Royale experience is finally here. Drop into Al-Mazrah and its 18 major points of interest, many of which may seem familiar if you've been playing COD for many years. Solo, squads, and even a third-person playlist will be available.

DMZ

COD's take on the popular extraction-style game mode. This is brand new for the franchise and will work as a great alternative to the standard BR mode in Warzone.

Warzone Caldera

The old Warzone will go offline temporarily to ensure the launch of Warzone 2.0 goes smoothly. Sometime before the year's end, it will come back as Warzone Caldera and a separate experience from MWII and Warzone 2.0's modes.

New multiplayer maps

Two of the most popular maps from previous COD titles will be making a comeback. Their small and chaotic nature will make leveling up weapons a much quicker process. Both Shoot House and Shipment will be reimagined in a whole new way. Shoot House will be available at the start of Season 1. Shipment arrives mid-season.

Call of Duty League

The CDL is still prepping its actual start, but until then there will be a warm-up playlist full of competitive players. This should help separate the casual community from the hardcore a bit. Rankings don't start just yet, but this will be a good way to test your skills.

Spec Ops and Raids

The co-op mode will be receiving a new mission called High Ground in preparation for the start of the first raid.

New weapons

As if there weren't enough weapons in MWII already, there will be 4 new ones coming with Season 1. Some will be unlockable through the Battle Pass (more on that later) and others will be available in store bundles or weapon unlock challenges. These weapons like all of the others will be useable in Multiplayer, Special Ops, and Warzone 2.0 modes.

World Cup Operators

Some of the best pro football/soccer players in the world are coming to MWII in preparation for the start of the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. Neymar Jr of Brazil, Pogba of France, and Messi of Argentina will all be available for purchase in the store.

A new type of Battle Pass

Instead of a linear stream of tiers set out in a scrolling row along the bottom of your screen, your Battle Pass takes the form of a multi-Sector map. It sounds a lot like how Fortnite is doing their Battle Pass now, giving players the choice to unlock certain things before others.

Persistent Prestige

Leveling up past the standard max rank of 55 will allow you to earn a persistent prestige Rank across all seasons, rather than having it reset at the end of each season. reaching Rank 56 will unlock Prestige 1. This will grant an emblem, additional rewards, and a set of challenges that lead to an exclusive calling card. Season 01 includes four more Prestige Ranks, which also unlock a new set of challenges and rewards:

Prestige 2: Unlocked at Rank 100
Prestige 3: Unlocked at Rank 150
Prestige 4: Unlocked at Rank 200
Prestige 5: Unlocked at Rank 250 and is the level cap until the end of Season 01.

At the end of Season 01, players can continue ranking up from wherever they ended up on the Prestige Ranks. This allows players who may not have enough time to level up to catch up in later seasons, while also not resetting the progress of anyone who reached the Max Rank during that season.

Intel unlocked

This is just the main highlights of what is to come with MWII's Season 1 Update and the launch of Warzone 2.0. If you wish to see even more information about the upcoming content drop, then you can visit Call of Duty's Official Blog.
