Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II has just revealed new multiplayer modes and details as we head into the upcoming PlayStation beta. A new Gunsmith has been confirmed, and it’ll allow players to switch weapons more smoothly and put more options on the table in terms of customization.
Anti-cheat system Ricochet will also benefit from a new, unified platform, while gameplay features fresh modes for users to enjoy both in co-op and PvP.
Special Ops is coming with a renewed two-player co-op experience, set in dangerous, large scale areas with a teammate joining the fight. Players will be able to swim and fight in the waters, and new features include a tactical sprint, holds and ledges to take advantage of in combat.
New vehicles will come alongside an improved environmental destruction, and more action-oriented maneuvers, including leaning out of car windows, climbing onto the roof of vehicles, and more.
Third-person playlists will offer a more tactical experience and different game types, while 3v3 Raids, focusing on team coordination and communication, will be released post-launch later this year.
The upcoming beta is starting on Sept. 16, 2022, on PlayStation consoles, and Sept. 22, 2022, on Xbox and PC – if you pre-ordered a copy of the game, of course. During the first weekend, players will be able to visit these maps:
Sarrif Bay (32v32)
Valderas Museum (6v6)
Farm 18 (6v6)
Mercato Las Almas (6v6)
Modes will feature beloved classics such as Team Deathmatch and Domination, as well as some newcomers like the 6v6 Knockout, where there are no respawns, but you can reanimate other players. There’s also the 6v6 Prisoner Rescue, where you’ll be tasked with finding and extracting a hostage. Last up, there’s the 32v32 Invasion, a chaotic battle of epic proportions.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II is releasing Oct. 28, 2022, on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S, while the beta is starting this weekend for PlayStation pre-orders.
