This update includes a new map, a new raid episode, and more.

A mid-season update for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 is out today across all platforms. Season 02 Reloaded, as it's being called, offers some new content to those playing Modern Warfare 2's multiplayer modes, Warzone 2.0, and also continues the Atomgrad co-op raid with a second episode.

This free weekend won't include every multiplayer map, perhaps in an effort to save some storage space on your machines....

Phishing is to blame for this latest infiltration.

According to leaked internal documents, Activision had a bit of a security breach on December 4, 2022. It was on this date where someone with high-level access to the internal Activision network was phished and their credentials used to access information that should have never been made public.

It's not really clear yet how much of the information that was leaked only today is accurate. There is also no saying whether...

In case you wanted another reason to want the acquisition to be approved.

Current Activision Blizzard CEO, Bobby Kotick, will remain as the CEO of the company should Microsoft's $69 billion (USD) acquisition be blocked by regulators.

New details on the second season came out over the weekend.

Infinity Ward says that a Hardcore game mode is coming to Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 when Season 02 drops on February 15. They didn't say much about the Hardcore mode outside of there being no in-game HUD. Hardcore also typically enables friendly fire and lowers the time to kill (TTK), but those features have yet to be confirmed for this particular Hardcore mode.

When it comes to the DMZ, we know that there...

This commitment will start with the Nintendo Switch.

As the day came to a close on December 6, Xbox head Phil Spencer took to Twitter to announce a "10-year commitment" to bring Call of Duty games to Nintendo platforms. This commitment would begin with bringing titles to the Nintendo Switch. This would, of course, depend on whether or not the Microsoft acquisition of Activision Blizzard is approved.

Curiously, Spencer also revealed that they are making an identical...

The reveal comes as the Microsoft-Activision deal faces harsh scrutiny.

The $69 billion (USD) deal that would see Microsoft acquire Activision Blizzard is still very much the focus of intense scrutiny from several of the world's regulation authorities. Apparently, one of the big issues that this regulators have is with the idea that Microsoft will pull several long-running multi-platform titles from those non-Microsoft platforms. Obviously, the Call of Duty franchise is one of the...

Warzone will be down for a period of 12 days so that the team can focus on getting the sequel launched and situated in a stable state.

It took just ten days.

It was only a week back that we shared news of how Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 pulled in $800 million in its first three days of sales. Already, this was a record-smashing sales figure for the franchise that has been around since 2003. Now, Activision says that Modern Warfare 2's record-setting ways are far from over.

In the ten days following its release on October 28, 2022, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 has surpassed the $1 billion (USD) in...
