The short video confirmed the return of Simon “Ghost” Riley as an Operator, unlocked immediately with the purchase of season two’s Battle Pass. Ghost was a popular character in 2009’s Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 and he was teased at the end of this year’s Modern Warfare’s campaign.

The trailer, which leaked over the weekend, confirmed the return of the classic map Rust, also from Modern Warfare 2. The oil refinery in the desert was home to many quickscope sniper battles and will once again surely be used for grudge matches online.

Another season two map, Atlas Superstore, looks to be entirely new, as well as a new Gunfight map called Bazaar and a Ground War map named Zhokov Boneyard. The latter, however, looks like it uses some elements from MW2’s Scrapyard map.

Season two also brings about two new weapons, the GRAU 5.56 rifle and Striker 45 submachine gun, which looks to be CoD classic SMG, the UMP 45.

Some time later in season two, Infinity Ward will add another new map called Khandor Hideout, two Operators named Talon and Mace, a third new weapon, and a variety of new game modes.

The season two Battle Pass once again features 100 tiers of unlocks including watches, XP tokens, emotes, Operator skins, and more. It’ll be on sale for 1,000 CoD Points.
