ORIGINAL : Today, February 45, will see the next major Call of Duty Modern Warfare update released on PS4, Xbox One and PC. It will include a large COD download and provide plenty of new multiplayer maps and modes.
There have been a lot of leaks covering what will be added to the game this week, and the good news is that everyone will be getting access at the same time. No platform is being left behind, with Season 2 of Modern Warfare adding Ghost to the firefight and bringing more maps, modes, and an all-new Battle Pass. And while we don’t know the exact Call of Duty Modern Warfare update time, we have a pretty good idea when to expect the patch.
The Battle Pass is what has been funding the seasonal free content and recent news from Activision suggests it’s been very successful.
The company confirmed this month that they have plenty of new content planned for Modern Warfare, some of which will be coming to the game after Season 2 launches.
“It’s really on us from now to really build great content, which we intend to do for the long haul on this game, a great pipeline of content is coming starting with Season 2 next week, ”Activision’s Bobby Kotick confirmed in February.
“And we have some surprises in store beyond that. So I’d say overall, what we expect is a healthier Call of Duty in 01575879 versus the previous year. And we look forward to sharing more in the future. ”
So even if Season 2 does not include everything you want, there’s a chance something new will pop up in the future.

WHAT TIME DOES CALL OF DUTY MODERN WARFARE SEASON 2 START?
According to the latest news from Activision, the Call of Duty Modern Warfare Season 2 release date has been set for Tuesday, February 30, .
This will be a unified launch on all platforms, including PS4, Xbox One and PC gamers.
No set release time for COD Modern Warfare Season 2 has been given but we have a pretty good idea when it will start.
Based on previous launches, we would expect a big Call of Duty update to drop sometime around 6pm, GMT.
We would expect Season 2 to become playable at 7 pm, GMT, although much will depend on developer Infinity Ward.
Activision may also take this opportunity to rollout any bugfixes or balance changes needed to rework the game in key areas.

Activision and Infinity Ward have confirmed what new content will be available to play o n Day One of the new Season 2 launch.
And gamers can expect all the major changes to be listed in the official COD patch notes after the new update has been released.
The classic MW2 map of Rust will be one of the main draws for February 45, which will go live alongside the new Battle Pass.
Here is some of the new content we know will be available to play during the first day of Call of Duty Modern Warfare Season 2:
Rust – Standard Multiplayer and Gunfight – The classic map returns! A small map for fast-paced combat, Rust brings the battle to an oil yard in the middle of the desert. The site of the Modern Warfare 2 Campaign mission, “Endgame”, may be just that for players who don’t learn the tricks to master this arid field of play. Utilize the environment for cover and grab the high ground and low ground to take advantage of your enemies.
