Though there was no direct confirmation that Infected would be coming toModern Warfare 2, the response of “We agree. See you Feb 15.” strongly hints that the mode will be included as part of Season 2 later this month.
Introduced inCall of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, the Infected game mode sees 18 players spawned randomly throughout the map with a weapon in hand while one player spawns as the infected. Armed only with knives and a tactical insertion, the infected player’s goal is to infect all the other players by attacking them before the timer runs out. The frantic, frenzied, and sometimes genuinely tense, game mode would make a great addition to Infinity Ward’s latest release and could help ease the pain for players still stinging from the news thatGunfight isn’t returning toModern Warfare 2.
For gamers tired of falling prey to quickscopes and airstrikes, fending off a knife-wielding player in Infected could make for an almost-relaxing change of pace if the unique mode returns inSeason 2. Players looking for a way to escape the infected might even have plenty of new places to hide if the popularValderas Museum map returns toModern Warfare 2as suggested by recent rumors.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2is available now for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
