In the space of just two weeks, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 has managed to sell so many copies across Europe that it has already on the brink of outselling Call of Duty: Vanguard in the region. Last year's World War II shooter was widely agreed to be a misfire for the FPS franchise, so with first-week sales up 125 per cent, the Infinity Ward title shall surpass it very soon.
With reliable reporting suggesting Activision won't be putting out a Call of Duty game in 2023 — instead there could be a large expansion for Modern Warfare 2 — the title has a good chance of becoming one of the series' best-selling games of all-time with a second year of sales. It's already set a new record for the franchise with an opening weekend of $800 million and topped the UK physical sales chart for two weeks running.
On Wednesday, Activision revealed what Call of Duty fans can expect from the game's first season of content as well as Warzone 2. Launching next week on 16th November 2022, there'll be more maps, modes, weapons, and Operators for traditional multiplayer fans while Battle Royale players have a new location to look forward to as well as more gameplay features to learn. With consistent post-launch support, sales of Modern Warfare 2 will only increase.

Call of Duty is very popular, which is why Microsoft wants it. Rather than create and earn their popularity, they prefer to just buy their popularity by buying all the stuff people already like. Y'all like Doom, Fallout, Elder Scrolls, Call of Duty, and Minecraft? We made those!! We are cool!
@TheCollector316 I bet the deal will not go through. Lets wait and see . Other than that. Great game. Vanguard was S.*.*.*. imo.
I haven’t bought or played a CoD game in years, but if they do a “free play weekend” I’ll give it a go.
Mw2 is pretty cool..warzone 2.0 is going to be awesome. R.I.P. bf2042..
@TheCollector316 I'm so sick of this ridiculous narrative. Sony bought EVERY studio that makes games for them! That's a fact!

If you cannot understand the difference, there's not much I can do to help you.
@TheCollector316 Oh wait, because Sony nurtured relationships with the studios they bought and have a history of working together? Well all of the games you listed began on PC and therefore those relationships began with Microsoft/Windows.
Or is it because it's a much larger purchase than Sony have made? That's just because it's a much larger purchase than Sony COULD make.
If Sony could afford it, they would have done it a long time ago and I guarantee that nothing would be available on anything but PlayStation.
Every year every cod outsold the cod before it. Its the same thing over and over again
A FPS with a modern setting outsold a bland , boring , ugly , limited & stale , FPS with a world war setting ? you don’t say …
@BeerIsAwesome then you missed out on some really good call of duties then .
Black ops 1 , MW3, Black Ops 2, and infinite warfare (yes infinite warfare supposedly has the best COD campaign in years)
Modern warfare sells. I only buy those versions. Don't bother with the others.
@nomither6 Infinite Warfare is absolutely one of the best campaigns! Personally on par with the original MW and MW2 campaigns imo.
