Every Wednesday, the development team at Infinity Ward launches a newCall of Duty: Modern Warfare 2playlist update, encouraging players to try out new modes or existing modes with newly added maps in rotation.TheModern Warfare 2Season 2 Reloaded updatelaunched on March 15 and introduced several new pieces of content. This new Season 2 content includes the Himmelmatt Expo map, the Drop Zone mode, a Raid Episode, and new Path of the Ronin challenges.

Himmelmatt 24/7, One in the Chamber, All or Nothing, Drop Zone, and 3rd Person Mosh Pit return from the March 15 playlist update, causing some frustration in the player community due to the lack of fan-favorite playlists. For example, Close Quarters Mosh Pit features the iconic Shipment map, butthe Shipment 24/7 playlistitself is not returning this week.
Modern Warfare 2players wanting to experience playlists outside the traditional 6v6 modes must play Ground War this week due to the absence of 10v10 Mosh Pit. However,Modern Warfare 2’sGround War modefeatures up to 64 players across some of the game’s largest maps, which provides a much different experience compared to 10v10 Mosh Pit. Instead, 10v10 Mosh Pit prioritizes maps typically used for classic 6v6 modes while allowing more players on the field at once.
Close Quarters Mosh Pit has been updated with beloved maps such as Shipment and Dome, but the latest playlist update raises some questions and doubts by active players intheModern Warfare 2community. Moreover, the strong demand for the dedicated Shipment 24/7 mode persists inModern Warfare 2Season 2 Reloaded, and 10v10 Mosh Pit grew into one of the most popular playlists in the past week.
AlthoughModern Warfare 2players may be unhappy with the removal of 10v10 Mosh Pit, the mode may return in a future playlist update if the unwavering demand continues. Ultimately, the decision is up to Infinity Ward, and the studio’s current priorities forModern Warfare 2andWarzone 2may factor into the potential return of the 10v10 mode.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2is available now for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S.
