The upcoming shooter will also feature a revamped Gunsmith to enable more customisation options.

The former is tasked with extracting hostages from a building, while the defenders must stop them. Prisoner Rescue is another new multiplayer mode, with each team assigned as either the attacker or defender. Teams will compete for the ownership of a package, with whichever team holding it at the end of a match declared the winner.

Knockout will have 6v6 matches with no respawns, so you can’t go charging recklessly into battle.

Modern Warfare 2 will feature online multiplayer with a couple of new game modes. We don’t know too much else right now, although we’re sure Infinity Ward will provide more information closer to launch. It’s also been confirmed that there will be both stealth missions and ‘all-out explosive assaults’ on enemy strongholds to vary up the gameplay. Story missions will take place across the globe, including Europe, Asia and the Americans. The unit will be tasked with combatting the terrorist organization Al-Qatala and the Las Alamas drug cartel, while also de-escalating rising tensions following a US missile strike. The story takes place in 2022, three years after Price forms the counter-terrorist unit Task Force 141. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 features a familiar cast of characters, including Captain John Price and John ‘Soap’ MacTavish, but will have a completely new story compared to 2009’s identically named game.
