One of Modern Warfare 2's best maps was cut a day before release

Call of Duty fans have savored all the details provided in the progression preview, and this is just a taste of what they can expect on launch day.

Although the CoD series ranks high on most lists of the best FPS games, it had a lot to prove. Call Of Duty: Vanguard had a relatively lukewarm dip in 2021, and players had high hopes for this new game that, well, bears the same name as a previous game. Modern Warfare 2 is generating a lot of hype, but it looks like we're in for a satisfying mix of familiar and new when the game launches, with some rumors of temporary changes that could set fans of the 10v10 map back.

By reading the preview (opens in a new tab) posted by Activision, we can see the camouflage challenges, the game's in-depth weapon mastery system, and how the daily and professional challenges work.

However, those who were able to play the campaign mode were in for a nasty surprise when they realized that, at the time of publishing, there were only 10 6v6 map packs available to play, and the beloved museum map was not on the cards. view.

Housed in the Getty Museum in Los Angeles, USA, the map has been a fan favorite for years. Trusted CoD Twitter source charlieINTEL, who also tweeted about the museum map's disappearance and restrictive team sizes, reported in September that all mention of the Grand Prix map had been removed (opens in a new tab) of all promotional materials previously published by Activision. .

With the Qatar Grand Prix taking place this year, it is believed that the removal of this map is due to the detailed reimagining of these high-profile and very public venues. Combine that detail with the nature of Call of Duty as an FPS title and you have a recipe for something pretty problematic.

However, until we receive confirmation, this is pure speculation; the maps will most likely be added at a later date for the release of the 10v10 map setting, which would make sense given the sprawling size of the museum map in particular.

TechRadar Gaming has contacted Activision and the Getty Museum for comment.
