When Infinity Ward officially announced Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 last month, we only got a logo and a lot of confused people wondering why it would announce a game released in 2009.
Fortunately (or to the chagrin of Activision) there have since been several leaks revealing what lies ahead for the first-person shooter series.
First, there is a whole new game mode called DMZ, an extraction style similar to Escape From Tarkov.
This will be the “third mode” along with single-player campaign and multiplayer, which has traditionally been a Zombies or Spec Ops mode.
The prominent Call of Duty-delicious TheMW2Ghost released a recreated version of the DMZ card to avoid a copyright removal notice from Activison.
Other users have been a little more cheeky and have released a clip showing the game’s new “gun inspect” feature.
Activision has actively pursued leaks, with at least one clip of the actual gameplay removed immediately after it was released.
Series reader Tom Henderson has also claimed that a number of fan-favorite cards from the original Modern Warfare 2 will return, including Highrise, Quarry, Terminal and Afghan.
He also suggested that a number of these sites would also be on the map of Warzone’s successor.
Meanwhile, players of the current iteration of Warzone have discovered a new, ballet way to get XP.
