On February 2, theCall of Dutyinsider CharlieINTEL reported that Infinity Ward will reveal a full roadmap of the Season 2 content on February 8. A fan replied “Gunfight” with the fingers crossed emoji, and CharlieINTEL replied with a brief and blunt “no.” User Lumenprotoplasma swiftly shared the bad news with the community on Reddit, where disappointed fans have continued the discussion. Commenters have been discussing the merits and demerits of withholding fan favorite content; one user saying that Gunfight is being held back so that players will continue to play until its inevitable release, while another points out that player retention may not last that long if the favorite game modes are not available. While Infinity Ward has fixed some bugs in therecentModern Warfare 2patch, it seems as though the game’s biggest problem comes down to understanding the community.
Another user commented to say that Activision is more focused on typical money-making cosmetics rather than giving fans what they want, saying that Gunfight should be simple enough to implement into the game. Similar to Gunfight,fans have been asking to see Infected to return toCall of Duty. With such a well-known franchise, it is important for developers to listen to the audience, however it should be understood that while some decisions are made purely to get more income from the property, implementing changes may not always be as simple as they seem from the outside.
However, the changes that have been made, and still are being made, have not done a lot to instill faith in the community. While some players can still have a lot of fun such as one player with animpressive win/loss stat with no kills inModern Warfare 2, others are feeling somewhat betrayed by the apparent lack of progress to the franchise. For now, fans will have to eagerly await full detail on February 8 to see what Season 2 holds.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2is available now for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
