A recentCall of Duty: Modern Warfare 2campaign leak suggests that the campaign will have 16 missions, and that franchise fans are in for some heartbreak. The 2022 version ofCall of Duty: Modern Warfare 2is not a remake of the 2009 game, but rather, a direct sequel to the2019Modern Warfarereboot. However, the newModern Warfare 2will still feature some familiar faces and plot beats.
Please note that this article will have SPOILERS for the 2009Modern Warfare 2game as well as some potential spoilers for the 2022 version. Proceed with caution.
It’s possible that one of the most shocking moments from the originalModern Warfare 2will be repeated in the 2022 version. Citing an anonymous data miner, Insider Gaming has published a list of placeholder names for theCall of Duty: Modern Warfare 2campaign missions, presumably pulled from the ongoing multiplayer beta tests. We know that the mission names are only placeholders because, as pointed out in Insider Gaming’s report, the ShipAF mission has been officially revealed to the public asDark Water.

The placeholder names give players a vague idea of what to expect from theCall of Duty: Modern Warfare 2campaign missions. For example, there’s a mission called Convoy Chase, and another called Gunship. While these missions will presumably have completely different names in the final product, it’s safe to assume that they will involve convoy chases and gunships. The leaked mission “Backstabbed” may be the most interesting because it suggests that fans are in for some heartbreak.

Insider Gaming theorizes that Backstabbed could be a nod to the moment in the 2009Modern Warfare 2game where General Shepherd betrayed and killedfan favorite characters Roachand Ghost. If this theory is correct, then it seems Roach and Ghost could potentially be betrayed and killed by Shepherd in the newModern Warfare 2as well. Then again, it’s possible that the Backstabbed mission is going to play out completely different in the new game, so fans shouldn’t worry until they play the game for themselves.
