Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2is going to have three unique character classes in its upcoming Special Ops mode. Unlike its 2019 predecessor, the newCODis going to offer a more in-depth Spec Ops experience, with several available missions and even an unprecedented Raid game mode coming later on, which is supposed to provide an endgame PvE activity that builds on top of the game’s core campaign mode.
Spec Ops, specifically, will take place in Al Mazrah, which is the newWarzone 2.0map that’s coming withCall of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. Here, players will get to participate in three replayable missions that appear to be balancing the Spec Ops from 2009’sModern Warfare 2with the iteration of the mode that dropped in 2019’sModern Warfare. Many specifics are still unknown, but Infinity Ward has apparently come up with a few novel additions in this regard.

The latest blog post from Infinity Ward goes into a bit more detail about thisCall of Duty’s Spec Ops mode, revealing thatModern Warfare 2will have three Spec Opsmissions at launch. To best tackle their objectives, players will be able to choose between the all-new Assault, Medic, and Recon character classes or Kits. These will be depicted through specialized Backpack items, each of which comes with its own PvE perks, gadgets, and more.
The Recon Kit will therefore have access to the Heartbeat Sensor and the Spotter Scope gadgets, for example. Medic, on the other hand, will have the Revive Pistol Field Upgrade, while the Assault class comes with a mini-Juggernaut sort of kit, allowing them to tank damage and dish out punishment to the enemies. This promises a sort ofreturn to form for Spec Ops inCOD, as the 2009 classic allowed players to choose from a few available weapons before starting each mission.
Odds are thatModern Warfare 2’s Gunsmith 2.0will come into play during Spec Ops missions, too, as none of the revealed Kits appear to have access only to specific weapon types. However, players will be able to upgrade their class of choice using earned Spec Ops Stars, and Infinity Ward specifically recommends leveling up at least one Kit to level 5 before the Raid comes out.
WIthcampaign early access forModern Warfare 2dropping on October 21, pre-order owners should have plenty of time to properly familiarize themselves with the title’s core gameplay loop and progression systems. It’s worth pointing out, however, that Spec Ops won’t be available until the full launch on October 28. This means that fans of co-op inCODwill need to wait a bit longer until their content of choice is finally out.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2is set to launch on June 05, 2025, on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
