​

Activision announced today that the upcoming Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 (not to be confused with the series' 2009 entry, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2) will be getting its worldwide trailer reveal on June 8 at 10am PT. They also posted a short teaser trailer that presumably gives us some idea of the game's setting and tone. Despite the worldwide reveal taking place in six days, there are quite a few details we know about Modern Warfare 2 already that Activision has revealed: Infinity Ward is in charge of production, it's a sequel to 2019's Modern Warfare reboot, it's releasing October 28 and it's being developed "from the ground up" in a new engine alongside a new Warzone experience, also developed by Infinity Ward.

One thing that hasn't been announced are platforms, though a few details seem to have leaked out. A page is live for the game on the PSN Store, though it doesn't provide any additional details, such as whether it'll appear on PlayStation 4 as well as PlayStation 5. It also seems like it may be coming to Steam as well, after the last few titles have been exclusive to the Battle.net launcher on PC. A few days ago, a user on reddit spotted Modern Warfare 2 key art on the Steam page for previous Call of Duty entries, though it was quickly replaced with a blank image. In response to Activision's Tweet about the game today, however, the official Steam Twitter account responded with an eye emoji

The timing of the reveal is interesting too. Activision is listed as a partner for the Summer Game Fest 2022, but there's already a YouTube page for the livestream, and it doesn't appear to be connected to any other presentation. It seems odd that Activision wouldn't tie the trailer debut to a larger event, but as of now, there are no events listed for June 8 on the Summer Game Fest 2022 website, so it appears this will be an isolated trailer debut.

Maybe I should give one of those cod games a try...

Can’t wait for a half-ass game with only microtransactions and nothing else!

Literally the only good Call of Duty is the BR one. Warzone? I'd play that if you like battle royales, if not the series is pretty mediocre.

Actually I take that back Call of Duty 2 on the wii was pretty solid

MW2019 was a pretty good COD, especially when one is nostalgic for classic Modern Warfare series and its gameplay. The weapon animations were sooo fluid and intricate for an FPS overall. Hope that this one will be at least as good as MW2019.

(in comparison Vanguard and Cold War were shit)

(the new one)

See, Activision? See what you make people do to clarify they're talking about your new game? Give the game a subtitle instead of calling it "2", when that's already been used!
What, are you suffering from amnesia? From dementia? Have you forgotten that "Modern Warfare 2" already exists?

Its Activision, so probably.

Just as they forgot they had an ocean of IP's that they have not touched in years if not decades. All because the Microtransaction system works so well to profit that making COD year after year is their priority. This will probably remain this way until MS fully digests them at least.

Recycling the names from past games, weak. They should never steered away from the mw2-black ops 2 formula, the new games suck in comparison, not on fire like they were

Since crap-tivision has already killed having a campaign in their games since 2012, I've had no reason to even care. Hell, mw2 from 2009 was already awful for abusing the "oh, your character is going to die anyway in the cutscene but it has to be after the player has been killed ten thousand times just five pixels away from the trigger" bit.

you care enough to write a whole paragraph about it. also only one cod doesn’t have a campaign which is Black Ops 4

Because modern warfare 1, was actually good.

Modern Warfare 2 and 3 bastardized everything that was good about that campaign. And everything since that's had a campaign, has been worse than a Hollywood flick and even more insufferable.

And this was even before it was made public that Activision staff sexually assaulted everything above the night janitor.

The night janitor probably got abused by some gay guy over there lol.

You do realize that even before micro transactions, when they actually released purchasable dlc, there was a new COD every year right? Micro transactions are actually a positive for COD because new maps are free. It use to cost $100+ USD for the base game & all of the purchasable dlc maps. Not to mention that micro transactions do NOT give you an advantage in COD games.

Calm down Bobby, you will get your golden parachute once MS buys the Hindenburg level disaster of a company that you have been in control of for all this time. No need to defend your predatory monetary decisions in the games you force people under you to crap out.
