Just over a week ago, Activision announced that the next mainline Call of Duty game would be a sequel to 2019's Call of Duty: Modern Warfare. Now it seems as though a reputable Call of Duty leaker has already revealed some details about the game's multiplayer mode.
TheMW2Ghost has become a reputable leaker over the years after accurately predicting information relating to the Call of Duty series. The leaker recently revealed new information about the upcoming sequel to 2019's Call of Duty: Modern Warfare in a series of tweets.
The leaker claims that movement in the upcoming game will be faster than in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2019 but slower than Call of Duty: Vanguard. The leaker has also stated that the map design in the game will be similar to that of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2019, with maps like Oil Rig, Khandor Hideout, and Sawmill possibly making a return with a fresh coat of paint or acting as inspiration for new maps. Leaker Tom Henderson has claimed that these new maps will be able to be enjoyed by players using last-generation consoles as well, as Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 is rumored to be cross-gen.
Some of the killstreaks said to be included in the game by TheMW2Ghost are the classic UAV, sentry, chopper gunner, and a new killstreak called "Soundwave" that is said to distort the hearing of other players when activated.
The classic Call of Duty mini-map is also rumored to be included in the game, but TheMW2Ghost noted that this could be subject to change, as the map from Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2019 could also be used. The next Call of Duty: Warzone is also said to release alongside Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, which is fitting considering that the original Call of Duty: Warzone released alongside Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2019.
Multiple other leaks in the past month have offered information about Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. One leaker has claimed to reveal the cast of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, which is said to feature Barry Sloane as Captain Price, Craig Fairbrass as Ghost, Neil Ellis as Soap MacTavish, and Troy Baker in an undisclosed role. Craig Fairbrass is an inclusion that may excite fans, as Fairbrass played Ghost in the original Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 and was beloved by many fans of the series.
Other rumors pertaining to the game suggest that 11 studios could be working on Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. This is a bold prediction, however, Activision will most likely be putting all of its resources to use for the upcoming game after the lukewarm reception of Call of Duty: Vanguard.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 is in development.
