MW2’s multiplayer will be free to play from Dec. 15 to Dec. 19 in a limited capacity. The full suite of options aren’t available during the free access period, but it’s enough to give players a taste of the title to see if they’re interested in more.

The free weekend includes three maps, including Shipment, which was just added today as part of the Season 01 Reloaded update. The other maps are Farm 18 and El Asilo, which are core maps from the multiplayer experience.

Playable modes on the three maps are Team Deathmatch, Kill Confirmed, Domination, and Hardpoint. The free weekend offers a solid array of respawn modes that are classic to the CoD experience.

Warzone 2 is a free-to-play experience that’s enhanced by the paid premium MW2 title. Free access weekends like this are common to draw more players in to purchase the current CoD title, which also includes an XP boost in Warzone 2 when purchased.

MW2, Warzone 2, and DMZ are all available now on PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.
