As the full release of Modern Warfare 2 on October 28 draws near, fans can map their progression before Season 1 begins on November 16.
Activision’s latest title will see a brief period between launch and Season 1 that will serve as the pre-season. During this time, players can work towards unlocking their loadout items. Any progress made on weapon progression trees will go towards unlocking attachments as well. Those who played the beta and had early access to the campaign will also be entitled to their rewards once the game launches. Activision’s RICOCHET Anti-Cheat will also be deployed on launch day. Considering Warzone’s abysmal anti-cheat, Activision has a lot riding on RICOCHET.
Here’s everything players need to know about Modern Warfare 2’s roadmap.
