Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2
Release Date: October 28
As always, Q2 brings us a new Call of Duty game and this year it’s Modern Warfare 2. To be clear this is not a remake of Modern Warfare 2 from 2009, continuing the confusing trend of naming titles in the COD franchise.
Instead, Modern Warfare 2 is a sequel to the 2019 game, featuring the return of team leader John Price and his team. There’s a new single-player campaign as well as multiplayer features that will take players into an immersive experience of realistic sound, lighting and graphics.
