Infinity Ward have hinted that the Infected game mode will be making its way to the game’s multiplayer matches in Season 2.

The potential return of the fan-favorite mode is likely to be welcome news for players who had been hoping for Infected to be added to Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 after it’s exclusion from the game’s initial release.

A recent post from Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 developer Infinity Ward has now suggested that the Infected game mode will be arriving the game’s multiplayer matches as part of the Season 2 update.

There have been numerous updates and patches for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 since the game’s release.

These updates were mainly meant to both address the niggling bugs and tweak some gameplay elements.

However,  Season 2 promises to be one of the biggest updates yet. 

Modern Warfare 2 Season 2 which is set to launch on February 15 following a series of delays, sees the return of the fan-favorite Hardcore mode alongside new weapons, maps, and operators.

Following the positive reception to Modern Warfare 2’s Season 1 update, Infinity Ward is no doubt hoping that the new additions will keep players interest in the title very much peaked.

In a response to a Twitter post from a gamer who remarked that “Playing infected on Call of Duty with friends is the greatest feeling in the world,” the official Call of Duty account on seemed to confirm that the popular game mode will be coming to Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 as part of the Season 2 update. 

Although, as at the time of this report, there is yet to be an official confirmation that Infected would be coming to Modern Warfare 2.

But the response of “We agree. See you Feb 15.” strongly hints that the mode will be included as part of Season 2 later this month.

What is the Infected game-mode on Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare?

Introduced in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, the Infected game mode sees 18 players spawned randomly throughout the map with a weapon in hand while one player spawns as the infected.

 Armed only with knives and a tactical insertion, the infected player’s goal is to infect all the other players by attacking them before the timer runs out.

The frenzied game mode would make a great addition to Infinity Ward's latest release and could help ease the pain for players still sulking over the news that Gunfight isn’t returning to Modern Warfare 2.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 is available now for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
