The Season 5 update for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 arrives on August 2 and brings with it new weapons, maps, game modes, and events. After the recent The Boys update, this will be the next big patch for the game. In this guide, I've talked about all the new maps coming to MW2 Season 5.
Modern Warfare 2 Season 5 New Maps
This season, three new destinations will be added to the roster of the 6v6 core maps. These include Punta Mar, Strike, and DRC - Zone 1. Furthermore, two new maps named Canal and Lounge will be added to the rotation for the 2v2 Gunfight mode. Now, let's have a look at these maps individually.
Modern Warfare 2 Season 5 New Core Maps (6v6)
- Punta Mar (at launch): Punta Mar is a brand-new map in the CoD franchise. The location is from the Las Almas region of Mexico from the MW2 Campaign. The battle takes place up and down the hill of a small town packed with small structures, streets, and alleys.
- Strike (at launch): Players will also get to see the remastered version of the Strike map from Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare. No matter if you've played on this map setting before or not, I think you'll have a good time playing on it.
- DRC - Zone 1 (in-season): This will be a small-sized map built for fast-paced action and combat. DMZ players may be familiar with the DRC Building 21 facility. It seems like the DRC - Zone 1 map will reveal a new section of this research facility.
Modern Warfare 2 Season 5 New Gunfight Maps (2v2)
Lounge and Canal will both be a fresh addition to the small-squad size game mode. You can see most of the area of these maps in the images above. While Lounge is completely new, Canal looks familiar to me as it's taken from the city of Vondel featured in Warzone 2 and DMZ.
No new Al Mazrah location is being added in Season 5 for the large-scale game modes Ground War and Invasion. That said, these modes already have a good map roster that should keep players engaged.
