Modern Warfare II multiplayer will have a free weekend soon

Activision has announced plans to offer a free multiplayer trial of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II this week.

Starting March 16 at 10 am PT / 5 pm GMT and running for five days, it will follow this Wednesday’s release of the game’s Season 2 Reloaded update.

The trial version will offer access to a limited selection of multiplayer and special ops content, including a new map called Himmelmatt Expo.

The other 6v6 base maps available will be Farm 18, Mercado Las Almas, Shipment, and Dome.

Playable modes will include Team Deathmatch, Hardpoint, Domination, Kill Confirmed, Gun Game, Infected, One in the Chamber, and All or Nothing.

Ground War and Invasion modes will also be playable on the larger Santa Seña map. The game’s first Raid, Atomgrad, will also be playable on standard difficulty.

Part of the game’s Special Ops mode, Raids are three-player cooperative challenges that combine stealth, combat, and puzzle-solving objectives. The game’s second raid will arrive in this week’s Reloaded update.
