A new Call of Duty season is nothing without some new maps for players to grind their new guns on.
Modern Warfare 2 is getting a big boost on the content side of things with season two, including new weapons, ranked play, several new game modes, and more. But what about the maps?
Thankfully, CoD is getting reinvigorated with several new maps in season two, and not just the new Resurgence map Ashika Island in Warzone 2. Multiplayer is getting four new maps throughout the season, although none of them are technically completely new to the series at all.
Here are all the new locations CoD players will be fighting on in MW2’s season two.
All new multiplayer maps in MW2 season two
Dome (core)
“This small- to medium-sized map is built for fast-paced combat with three main buildings surrounding a central street area,” Activision said. “One of these is the iconic domed structure, which has a small catwalk that provides incredible views over most of the map’s outdoor spaces.”
The classic Modern Warfare 3 map that debuted in 2011 is back for the new era of Call of Duty. It’s already in Warzone 2 as a point of interest on Al Mazrah, but now it’s available to play in Core multiplayer modes, too.
Valderas Museum (core)
MW2 beta players will remember this map very well as it was one of the few playable ones available. It was surprisingly missing at the game’s launch and hasn’t been heard from until now. It’ll be available to play in Core modes.
Zaya Observatory (Ground War and Invasion)
This map “encompasses the entire science facility and adjacent cliff sides” of Al Mazrah, Activision said. “Observant operators will find solace along the mountain side flank routes. While a narrow space for vehicles, tanks and other armored vehicles can be used to effectively hold critical choke points. With main thoroughfares cut off, infantry should resort to navigating the facility buildings to bypass any vehicle obstructions. For when you have no other option but to sprint across an exposed road, be sure to keep smokes equipped to deter any rooftop sniper fire.”
This map will be available to play in Ground War and Invasion modes. If you’ve played Warzone 2 or DMZ, you’ve likely played on this location before.
Al Malik International (Ground War and Invasion)
“The Battle Map version of this locale comprises of the tarmac and main airport building, allowing Operators to take hold in all the familiar spaces within the Terminal or take to the roof for more advantageous angles,” Activision said. “Meanwhile, those looking for vehicular combat have plenty of runway to use for getting around the Battle Map quickly.”
Another slice of Al Mazrah, this is the same exact playable location as the POI available in Warzone 2 and DMZ.
Himmelmatt Expo (Core, Season Two Reloaded)
“Tromp through the snowy streets, past the saunas and pool, and go for a drink — or better yet, a solid vantage point — in the Restaurant & Bar,” Activision said. “Head into the main event center to shake off the cold and heat up in battles taking place across the lounge and terrace and in the enclosed theater below. “
This new Core map is “medium-large” according to Activision and is joining MW2 as part of the Season Two Reloaded midseason update on March 15.
