The game didn't exactly wow us in November 2023 when it first released, but the upcoming season looks to block our socks off and keep us entertained for many months to come.

What's more, not only can you expect new game modes, maps and the usual weapons - Rick Grimes from The Walking Dead is a playable character as part of a crossover. Skidrow has suitably become the festering "Skidgrow" to mark the occasion.
A new trailer has dropped showing off the new maps in all their glory too.
There's a lot to get through and not much time till the update drops so read on to see what awaits in the patch notes!
When is the CoD MW3 Season 2 release date?

The release date for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 Season 2 is Wednesday 7th February.
With the Season 1 battle pass due to end on Tuesday 6th February 2024, Call of Duty won't leave an absence in between and will roll straight into Season 2.
When is the UK launch time for CoD MW3 Season 2?
The UK launch time for CoD MW3 Season 2 is 5pm GMT today (Wednesday 7th February).
There will likely be a short maintenance period when the servers are down as the game is updated, but this should land at the tail end of school or work time - so you shouldn't miss out on too much CoD!
