Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 Free Trial Lets You Try Some Of The Season 2 Content

Activision has announced the next free trial event for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III, and it's coming up soon. The timing of the event is not random, as it appears to be tied to the February 7 launch of the game's Season 2 update.

During the free trial period, players can try out nine multiplayer maps--including one of the new ones, Stash House--as well as the multiplayer modes Team Deathmatch, Hardpoint, Domination, Kill Confirmed, and Team Gun Game. The entire Modern Warfare Zombies mode is included with the free trial. For Call of Duty: Warzone fans, that game is free already so players can jump in now and check out the return of Fortune's Keep and more.

You can see everything included in the free trial weekend in the graphic below, as shared by Activison on its website.

The big Season 2 update adds a bunch of new multiplayer maps and weapons, as well as the newest DLC Operators, including Rick and Michonne from The Walking Dead. As mentioned, Warzone brings back Fortune's Keep, while Zombies gets another new story mission.

The full Season 2 patch notes also mention significant changes to health and weapon balancing. For more, check out the full Season 2 patch notes.
