Battle amongst the wintry peaks surrounding the Himmelmatt Expo; skirmish through the cargo ship containers on the compact, fan-favorite Shipment; and join Captain Price, Farah, and Gaz as they embark to Atomgrad in Special Ops Raid Episode 01.

Following the launch of Season 02 Reloaded, the Free Access period will feature a limited selection of Multiplayer and Special Ops experiences for non-game owners to get into Call of Duty®: Modern Warfare® II.

From March 16 through 20, Free Access players can battle across six Multiplayer maps and a variety of game modes alongside the first Co-Op Raid. Invite your friends and family to compete, whether they’ve been your squadmates in Call of Duty®: Warzone™ 2.0 or they’re jumping into the fray for the first time.

Take in the Scenic Views of the Himmelmatt Expo

Escape to an idyllic winter getaway nesting on the shoulders of a European mountain range. In this brand-new, medium-sized Core Multiplayer map available as part of Season 02 Reloaded, Operators will navigate through the facility’s main event center and its surrounding amenities such as the saunas, pool, and Restaurant & Bar.

See our in-depth Himmelmatt Expo map guide for tips and tricks that are sure to heat up the cold winter scenery, whether you’re looking for Perk and Loadout suggestions or guidance on where to break at the start of the match.

Party Up and Drop In: Game Modes

Expect a wide variety of available Game Modes, from team-based modes like Team Deathmatch and Domination, to a selection of modes that released with Season 02 and Season 02 Reloaded.

Highlights include Infected (avoid the eliminated as they grow in number to overwhelm the surviving side), Gun Game (a competition of gun skill featuring an 18-weapon rotation), All or Nothing (rack up 20 eliminations with only Throwing Knives and a pistol), and One in the Chamber (everyone receives a handgun with a single bullet; bring down opponents to add ammo to your arsenal).

Deploy to Special Ops Raid Episode 01

Try your hand at completing the first ever Call of Duty® Raid in Special Ops Raid Episode 01.

Team up with two other players and take on the roles of Captain Price, Farah, and Gaz as they infiltrate an underground bunker in search of Echo Team. Throughout the Raid, players must coordinate their every move to overcome the traps, environmental hazards, and enemy forces encountered along the way.

Complete Atomgrad Episode 01 to unlock a new Operator Skin for Gaz along with a Mystery Case holding one of several rewards from a greater Raid loot table.

Note that the Free Access period includes only the standard difficulty version of Atomgrad Episode 01, though that’s plenty tough enough against all but the most skilled teams.
