What to expect at launchIn addition to the game's campaign, Modern Warfare 2 will arrive on October 28 with a full multiplayer experience and a Spec Ops mode. Activision has described Spec Ops as an "in-depth two-player cooperative experience."

Post-launch contentPlayers can likely expect the usual post-launch content from Call of Duty, with new maps, modes, and operator bundles added to the game, but Raids were also announced for Modern Warfare 2. During the Call of Duty Next event, Activision and Infinity Ward briefly mentioned Raids as a form of three-player co-op "engagement" that the publisher says will require "teamwork and strategic puzzle-solving" in between firefights. Warzone 2.0 and DMZFollowing the launch of Modern Warfare 2, Warzone's sequel is scheduled to arrive on November 16. Warzone 2.0's new map is called Al Mazrah, which features new circle mechanics, a more-complex Gulag, and more. Activision also announced that Warzone 2.0 would launch with a new free-to-play extraction mode called DMZ. The mode was vaguely teased as an all-new "sandbox experience" on Al Mazrah. More information on this mode should arrive closer to the game's launch. Here is everything announced for Warzone 2.0 and DMZ.
