“As part of regular Playlist updates, MW2 will introduce 12-vs-12 S&D as well as a 12-vs-12 Prisoner Rescue mode,” Activision said. “These single-life game modes may be even more intense with double the players in the lobby. Just remember to keep that trash talk respectful when you hit that clutch one-vs-seven moment.”
Five new operators
Nikto returns as the battle pass operator in season four, but several other new operators will be joining throughout the season.
- Nikto
- “The former FSB deep-cover agent was first spotted in Modern Warfare 2019, using his menacing signature black mask to cover the disfiguration of his face caused by Mr. Z. A methodical and calculated soldier, Nikto is a natural-born leader who appears to fear nothing, with next to no gaps in his skill set as the ultimate soldier of fortune.”
- Io (BlackCell-exclusive operator)
- Ana Vega
- Izanami
- Butch
Assault on Vondel event
A limited-time event begins alongside season four and lasts until July 7. It will unlock new features once the community contributes enough and reaches a goal together.

“You can do your part by completing challenges, which will give you medals for personal unlock rewards as well as contributing to the grand community medal count total,” Activision said. “Once a predetermined number of medals are earned, features such as the Taxi Boats & Tramways, Reinforcement Flare Field Upgrade, the Favorite Supply Box, and the new rough-hitting Tonfa melee weapon will be unlocked for all Operators to take advantage of.”
Raid finale
The final Raid episode will be coming in the mid-season update, Season Four Reloaded, sometime in mid-July.
Season four of MW2 begins on June 14.
