Modern Warfare II is a sequel to the 2019 reboot simply called 'Modern Warfare'. The campaign follows similar story beats to the original but this is a brand new experience. It takes about 6 to 7 hours to complete. It was available in an early access state to any players who digitally preordered the game, so many players have already beaten it as of the full game's release date.

MULTIPLAYER
Multiplayer will follow the Battle Pass system of recent CoD games. This means that all maps and weapons will be free to all players. Players who purchase seasonal Battle Passes will get exclusive access to cosmetics, including character skins & vehicle skins.

SEASON 2 (FEBRUARY 14, 2023 - TBA)

SPEC OPS
MWII will feature a 2 player Spec Ops cooperative mode which continues the story of the campaign. This mode was not very popular in MW 2019, but is there for players wanting more PVE content.

WARZONE 2
Warzone 2 will launch November 16. It will be free to play, but players who own MWII proper will be able to more easily level their weapons & characters. In addition to the regular Battle Royale mode, a new "DMZ" mode will appear which is said to bear high similarities to Escape From Tarkov. Please see the official blog for Warzone 2 for more info.

Listen, I'm hijacking this thread early looking for help from non-US GAF. I need that burger man skin. Someone hook me up.

On topic: really enjoyed the campaign more than I thought I would. Loved the beta as well. Really looking forward to this.
 
Finished campaign last night. Overall I liked it. I would have really liked it except that the difficulty got pretty absurd in a few places, even playing on Normal (I'm old, so I'm sure that was part of it). I'm a big fan of both Sicario movies, and the story was basically "what if Sicario had been written by someone who's a lot worse at writing than Taylor Sheridan," which is still a lot better than you get in most games.

I also need the burger man skin 😱

Help your UK Brethrens out!
 
Early unlock via vpn possible?
Single player is already available to those who preordered. MP on consoles should be possible through region switching although Infinity Ward put out a PSA stating that doing so would give you connection issues and you could be locked out until your regional time.

Also, churches. Churches and body armor.
I FORGOT ABOUT THAT. Yeah, that was dumb. I ended up running backwards, hiding the corner with a shotgun and just letting them come to me. There's an achievement if you do that map without firing a gun, and I'm just like, 'how?!'

I can confirm if you go into your Activision account and change your region to New Zealand then do the same on Xbox you can play

Hmpf, kill confirmed and gun game are like the best game modes.....

Kill confirmed is in game I see it in the play list

Hey bros, if you wanna play the multiplayer early, set your ACTIVISION account location to new zealand. Not the console account location.

If any EU friend could grab the Burger Town skin that'd be amazing. Sucks to have to wait till 9 PM for PC but it is what it is!

Really looking forward to playing at midnight! I'm actually excited to try Spec Ops, as I kind of ignored it in MW19 and it'll give us a taste of Al Mazrah.

Campaign was okay. I didn't like the survival missions where you need to craft makeshit weapons. Feels like a budget version of TLOU. Some levels, like the first mexico level, were good. But most of the campaign is stealth and not much to shoot actually.

Looks like there's some major changes from the Beta.

- Enemies now have a small red diamond above their heads for help with visibility.
- Bunny hopping has been nerfed. You can still do one hop around corners but it stops your momentum dead once you land. Its basically how it is in the campaign.
- Footstep sound has been decreased, or at least the range you hear it.
- Third person mode stays in third person when you aim. It only goes first-person when you use a high magnification optic like a sniper scope.

OT title should have been ''point a gun to de-escalate''

If there really is the rumored campaign DLC next year then we can use that one lol

Well my dumbass caved in and drunk bought this on ps5 at 3 am. So far I'm enjoying the story mode, fuck that mission where you're in the bomber 90 minutes in. Eventually I went mad and just kept nuking my own team over and over and saw the game over screen 20+ times. In the really bad news I had to delete like 6 games to fit this on the ps5's ssd.
 
Hows the sbmm? anyone have the lobbies stick together like they claim?
The SBMM is still quite strong as I can have a few pretty decent games then get put in a few esport try hard sweat lobbies.

I have had 1 lobby go straight to next map but every other one has disbanded

Several bugs in this game have had a few crashes and have gotten the bug a few times where you can't click in game to get to the menu and change loadouts

Plus a little info for the PS guys

uses 'M$' - What year is it? Not 2002.

Well.. I guess all the people screaming they never listen to feedback were wrong.
 
I see unlock tools already working had a PC player in my lobby with max rank and some sick looking camo, had to be some sort of mix of Gold and Orion

Nice! Can't wait to check out the QoL changes from beta
 
They REALLY nerfed the camo grind

I have been mainly exploring the new maps just looking around and almost Gold on my M4

Have watched some streamer over the years go for the very high end camos and I just never wanted to put myself through that pain but Orion camo looks like it may be on my plated this COD especially having 2 years to grind it
