New information reveals that Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 may get a Zombies mode. Modern Warfare 2 officially launches on October 28, but customers who preorder the game can start playing its campaign right now. This lets users finish MW2’s campaign before the multiplayer and co-op components come out with the full release.Zombies game modes have become a key part of Call of Duty games, but not all titles developed by Infinity Ward have featured this element. These games come with different co-op modes, such as Extinction in Call of Duty: Ghosts and Special Ops in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare. MW2 features a Special Ops mode as well, although its initial mission count may disappoint some players. It now looks like MW2 could get its own Zombies mode in addition to the campaign, multiplayer, and Special Ops.As reported by Insider Gaming, a Call of Duty dataminer named cod_sploitzimgz found some references to a possible Zombies mode in Modern Warfare 2. The information includes references to “Round-based Zombies” and “Outbreak,” which may suggest that Activision will add a Zombies mode to MW2 sometime in the future. While every rumor should be taken with a grain of salt, one big reason adds credibility to the leak. According to Insider Gaming, the images have since been DMCA’d from Activision, which may point to this information being true.
Furthermore, a recent rumor suggested that Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 may get campaign DLC in 2023 as the franchise takes a break from its annual schedule. A related rumor mentioned that 2023’s Call of Duty game has been delayed, so Activision will release MW2 story DLC instead of a full game. Perhaps Activision may also decide to add a Zombies mode to Modern Warfare 2 to give players more content throughout 2023 and a big chunk of 2024.
Gamers should note that Activision has not confirmed any information regarding this topic, and they will have to wait for the developers to share concrete plans. The fact that the images were subject to DMCA also doesn’t fully confirm the rumor. Still, a new Zombies mode for MW2 would probably be a welcome addition to the game.
Fans interested in playing MW2 should keep in that mind that users who finish the campaign of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 will receive some extra bonuses for the multiplayer mode that launches alongside the full game. This includes various XP boosters, several types of cosmetic items, four operators, and more in-game rewards.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 launches on October 28 for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
