Having the map appear in the files isn’t a sure thing that it will indeed eventually appear in the final version of Modern Warfare. The current word doing the rounds across Reddit, Call of Duty forums, and also unveiled by the likes of Hollow on YouTube (seriously, check out his videos if you’re a Call of Duty fan), is that RUST, one of the more divisive, popular, and hated maps from 2009’s Modern Warfare 2, has been spotted in the files of the PC version of the game. How can Infinity Ward get older and more skeptical Call of Duty players to buy in? Well, if the latest leak is anything to go by, one way may be by bringing back older maps from the likes of Modern Warfare 2.

Hype is high for this year’s Call of Duty, and so there’s a lot of eyes on this open beta to see how the game’s multiplayer holds up, and if Infinity Ward can reclaim some of its older glory from the original Modern Warfare days.Ĭertainly one of the ways it can reclaim this glory is by feeding into the nostalgic cravings of older Call of Duty players, who are arguably looking forward to Modern Warfare more than younger players who may have been introduced to Call of Duty at the start of this decade, and, therefore, after the Modern Warfare series peaked. With the Modern Warfare beta now live across PS4, Xbox One and PC (you no longer need to have a pre-order code to play it), Call of Duty fans across the globe are jumping into one of the year’s most anticipated games.
