First things first, they announced the addition of two new maps, Sariff Bay and Sa’id. Along with that, they confirmed the revival of Ground War, a 32 v 32 combat. The franchise also added a new TDM, Sandbox, introducing the “invasion pits two teams of 20 players and 20 AI against each other. With large maps, 80 combatants, water play, ground vehicles, air vehicles, and more.”

Next, Infinity Ward limited the perk earn rate similar to the last week, as they wanted players to explore the game to a greater scale. But, to counter this, they added a fresh gunsmith class, allowing players to customize their favorites according to their needs. 

Lastly, they promised a better Call Of Duty experience, along with a better user interface and lesser bugs. So, if you’re still waiting to try Modern Warfare 2, we highly believe it’s time!
