Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 (2022) maps – confirmed & hopeful additions

Modern Warfare 2 will bring with it a host of new multiplayer maps, when it launches in October this year.

We’ve already caught a glimpse of a few of them, the most recent being Farm 18, which was the first Intel Drop revealed by developer Infinity Ward.

Farm 18 is set in a an abandoned industrial cement factory, which doubles up as a secret training facility.

“Farm 18 came out of the idea that we kind of liked the Shoothouse facility map, so we decided to think of hidden training facilities but it’s also in an industrial cement factory,” said Geoff Smith, Director of Multiplayer design, on the teaser video.

He added: “The idea was, what if we put a sort of Shoot house type of situation in the middle. If you really want to play that crazy game you can go to the center and that action will find you. If you want to pull back and play a different way it’s still available to you.”

The team went on to detail how hard it was to strike a ‘perfect harmony’ between level aesthetics and gameplay.

Even though there is foliage in the level, for example, it has been balanced to stop people from hiding in the corners. On the flip side, if it’s not dense enough, it doesn’t sell the narrative of the overgrowth.

What maps will be in Modern Warfare 2? And what could be coming?

There are two sorts of map in Modern Warfare 2: Battle Maps & Core Maps.

The former are larger scale, which will see you benefit from mechanics such as swimming, while the Core Maps are smaller and set in different global locations.
