Experience what made Task Force 141 become the iconic and legendary squad that it is as the action resumes following the narrative from Call of Duty: Modern Warfare.
Developer Infinity Ward is going all out to create a new heart-pounding experience for players, with Task Force 141’s next global Campaign, an immersive, world-class Multiplayer and an evolved Special Ops experience. All carefully crafted with gameplay and technical innovations that will introduce Xbox fans to the new era of Call of Duty.
Let’s dive into the details.
Campaign and Special Ops
Task Force 141 faces its greatest threat yet — a newly aligned menace with deep, yet unknown, connections.
Familiar heroes return and new allies are formed as the globe-trotting Campaign takes Xbox players across Europe, Asia, and the Americas.
This Campaign is set to be an incredible experience in several ways: offshore sieges with underwater combat, all-out explosive assaults from 30,000 feet above enemy strongholds, and high-stakes stealth missions in both plain sight and under the cover of darkness, and more.
Deploying alongside you are iconic squadmates: Team leader Captain John Price; seasoned sergeant Kyle “Gaz” Garrick; fan-favorite Simon “Ghost” Riley; fearless Sergeant John “Soap” MacTavish; as well as the newest team member, Colonel Alejandro Vargas, an incorruptible Tier 1 Operator and member of the Mexican Special Forces.
After the Campaign, Xbox players can join with their friends in an evolved Special Ops. This tactical co-op mode advances your team-building skills, and also sets the table for the near-endless hours of gameplay available in the world-class Multiplayer.
Multiplayer: Next-Generation Innovations
Xbox players who drop into Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II Multiplayer at launch will be among the first to try out and level up the multiple base weapons, explore a wide range of maps and modes, meet an international cast of Operators, and more.
With new ways to play and numerous gameplay innovations, including a revamped Gunsmith that offers more customization than ever before, Modern Warfare II will be ready to welcome newcomers and fierce competitors alike on day one.
Xbox players should also look out for an incredible post-release calendar, set to include a massive amount of free post-launch content drops featuring new maps, modes, and blockbuster special events that can’t be missed.
Modern Warfare II — Technically Speaking
Modern Warfare II will be the most advanced Call of Duty to date, with a truly immersive experience with stunningly realistic sound, lighting, and graphics. Navigate more lifelike environments via the game’s enhanced rendering and photogrammetry technology.
The game also features a new advanced AI system. Enemies and friendlies alike across Campaign and Special Ops act tactically using combat and cover maneuvering techniques that would be second nature to a Tier 1 Operator.
Warzone in the Next Generation for Call of Duty
Development on an all-new, dynamic Warzone experience is also being led by Infinity Ward, along with Raven Software. The new, free-to-play battle royale Warzone also features the same technology powering Modern Warfare II, so both titles leverage the Call of Duty engine that first debuted with Modern Warfare (2019), providing the most seamless and advanced Call of Duty experiences ever.
