Call of Duty: Modern Warfare has been garnering much success lately. The somewhat-of-a-reboot has had fans praising it for 鈥榞oing back to its roots鈥? but still retaining what has set the series apart from other shooters.
The game itself was already a big download at launch, and now that Season 2 is finally here users have reported a whopping 94GB download on PC. That鈥檚 a pretty big download just for one update. And there鈥檚 been a lot of speculation lately as to why that is after the new season鈥檚 in-game cinematic dropped, with many believing that a battle royale mode is coming soon. User KeirzyHD on Youtube made a handy video of the new in-game cinematic, plus one of the more mysterious additions from the new update:
The first note to make is the return of the popular character 鈥楪host鈥? who most of us will remember for trying to stop a bullet with his head in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, and failing. Having become somewhat of a meme, the return of Ghost has seen fans excited for the new season as his character will be unlockable through the new Battle Pass.
But now comes the juicy part. After Ghost radios in for Price, we see the airport terminal building as an encroaching cloud of green smoke swarms the perimeter (much like other Battle Royale modes eh). That alone would be enough to guess that a BR mode is coming, but then they go and show a group of soldiers jumping out the back of a plane, parachuting into the chaos below, so yeah now we鈥檙e 99% sure that it鈥檚 happening.
Additionally there is now a mysterious new option on the main menu of the game. You have the usual Campaign, Multiplayer, Coop and the Store options, but there鈥檚 a distinct fifth option available now under the title 鈥楥lassified鈥?(You鈥檙e really trying hard not to give it away aren鈥檛 you Activision?). Interestingly the mode hasn鈥檛 yet been released, though we鈥檙e pretty sure it鈥檚 what makes up the bulk of the large download. We could see the mode introduced halfway through the new season, or in a few weeks time, either way the addition of the Battle Royale mode won鈥檛 be anything new as the Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 game rolled out with the mode at launch. But it would be interesting to see it in the Modern Warfare setting.
Also arriving in the new update is everyone鈥檚 favourite 360 no-scoping arena: Rust. So now we can all rejoice as epic sniping montages make their return to Youtube.
You can see the full list of updates and fixes here. However here鈥檚 the full list of what鈥檚 new:
