Call Of Duty Modern Warfare II: Every Perk, Killstreak, Mode, And Field Upgrade At Launch Revealed

The full release of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II is right around the corner, and now Activision has now detailed everything players can expect from the game's multiplayer suite come launch day.

Currently, players who pre-order Modern Warfare II can get early access to the game's single-player campaign. Multiplayer will arrive for all players on October 28, though those wanting to experience Warzone 2.0 will have to wait a bit longer, as the free-to-play battle royale isn't arriving until November 16. Below is everything coming as part of Modern Warfare II's multiplayer launch.

Game Modes

Modes in Modern Warfare II are broken down into two categories: Core Map modes and Battle Map modes. Core Map modes are smaller, 6v6 combat zones players familiar with the series are no doubt accustomed to. Battle Map modes, however, are built for 32v32 game types and include vehicles.

Core Map Modes

• Free-for-All
• Team Deathmatch
• Domination
• Hardpoint
• Headquarters
• Control
• Prisoner Rescue

Maps

Activision has not officially revealed the number or names of the maps that will be included at launch, but its recent blog post does clarify that maps will come in three different flavors. There will be maps based on the Middle-Eastern themed Al Mazrah region (which also serves as the main map for Call of Duty: Warzone 2.0), the Central America region of Las Almas (which is featured prominently in the Modern Warfare II campaign), and maps that take place in the "rest of the world," as Activision Blizzard puts it.

Perks

Perks work a little differently in Modern Warfare II than in previous titles, with players starting each match with two base perks before unlocking two additional perks (a bonus perk and an ultimate perk) over the course of the match. Here is the list of perks to choose from at launch.
