Call of Duty leaker Reality datamined Call of Duty Mobile and discovered Modern Warfare 2 Perks, Killstreaks, Field Upgrades, and modes.
One of the game modes included in the leak is Gunfight. In a June Q&A session with GameSpot, CoD developers confirmed that Gunfight would return in Modern Warfare 2.
Reality revealed that Infection might be returning to Modern Warfare 2. Infected is a fan-favorite Call of Duty game mode in which players try to survive as long as possible without becoming “infected.”
Other notable returning game modes include Cyber Attack, Headquarters, Cranked, and Demolition.
Cyber Attack is inspired by Search and Destroy and Sabotage. Teams fight to retrieve an EMP device and use it to destroy the opposing team’s data center. Players do not respawn, but players can revive teammates.
Cranked plays similarly to Team Deathmatch, yet after a kill, a 30-second timer activates. Players gain fast movement speed, reload, and ADS time but will blow up if they don’t get another kill within 30 seconds.
New modes include Knockout, Ground War Bomb, and All or Nothing.
