Call of Duty: Modern Warfare seems to have been left by the wayside now that Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War is out and integrated with the Warzone battle royale. However, Infinity Ward has teased that more Call of Duty: Modern Warfare content is still on the way, though it won't necessarily be as part of a big "Season 7" update. In any case, it now seems some of that new content in the works for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare has leaked online.
ModernWarzone, known for accurately leaking Call of Duty news, has made a big claim about new Call of Duty: Modern Warfare content that's apparently in development. If ModernWarzone is to be believed, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare fans can look forward to two more Operators, three new weapons, and four new multiplayer maps. It wasn't specified if all of this content will come at once and effectively be Modern Warfare Season 7, or if it will be spread out over time.
If ModernWarzone is to be believed, then the new Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Operators will be Soap MacTavish and Shane Sparks. It's unclear exactly who Shane Sparks is in terms of Call of Duty, but Soap MacTavish is the main character of Call of Duty 4 and his addition to the new Modern Warfare has been hinted at for some time.
As far as new weapons go, if ModernWarzone's information is correct, fans can look forward to the CX-9 SMG (Skorpion), RAAL LMG, and CX-9 Pistol (Sykov). These new Call of Duty: Modern Warfare weapons should come in handy on the new multiplayer maps, which will be a mix of standard multiplayer arenas and new maps for the 2v2 Gunfight game mode. According to ModernWarzone, these maps will include Al-Raab Airbase and Killhouse for 6v6 multiplayer, whereas Drainage and Townhouse will be for 2v2 Gunfight.
With Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War Season 1 just launching, some fans may be wondering why Activision would still have substantial content on the way for Modern Warfare. However, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare was a massive hit, and there are still millions of people playing the game regularly. It may no longer have a Battle Pass tied to Warzone, but it should still have plenty of content for players to spend COD Points on.
And with Activision pulling in record numbers for microtransactions, it wouldn't make sense for it to completely abandon its big cash cow. Even so, fans should treat all of this information with a grain of salt until an official announcement comes. It's entirely possible that ModernWarzone's information is inaccurate or that plans will change between now and when this content is supposedly going to be added to the game.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare is out now for PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
