Call Of Duty Modern Warfare Confirms Rust Is Coming With Season 2

One of Call of Duty’s most popular maps is going to be returning in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, Infinity Ward confirmed via a new teaser. The map is Rust from the classic Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, and it will be released as part of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare’s Season 2 content. However, it isn’t clear if Rust will be available at the beginning of Season 2, which is scheduled for February 11, or if Infinity Ward will save it for a mid-season release.

The reveal of Rust as a new Modern Warfare map comes somewhat indirectly from Infinity Ward. Certain Call of Duty fansites and fan-run social media accounts were given an Augmented Reality card all the way back in July. These AR cards have apparently been updated as of February 7 so that they show new content when viewed in AR. CharlieIntel has been able to confirm that the AR card now shows the Rust map in its background with the words “Season Two” in the foreground.

Rust, as noted, comes from Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, and it was a very popular map due to its small size, fast-paced action, and interesting attack angles. Rust has only ever been features in one other Call of Duty game, the China-exclusive Call of Duty: Online. There was a Rust Easter egg in Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare, though, with a smaller version of the map built out of various objects just outside the bounds of Compound.

Rust was also recreated for Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare, in which it was renamed Excess to better fit the style and themes of the game. Where Rust is traditionally a dilapidated factory of sorts, Excess is a luxurious rooftop location on top of a skyscraper. Excess does play quite different from Rust, though, since Infinite Warfare gives players jetpacks.

For now, Infinity Ward has yet to publicly confirm that Rust is coming to Call of Duty: Modern Warfare in Season Two, though it can still essentially be considered official. Infinity Ward will likely make the direct announcement and release a related trailer in the next several days.

Season Two of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare will start on February 11. The new season has also teased the return of fan-favorite character Ghost. Expect more details about the new season and its battle pass soon.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare is available now on PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
