New maps
Classic multiplayer map Rust will be added from day one, which was a tense close-quarters fan favourite from Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 2.

There’ll also be new Ground War map Zhokov Boneyard, based on the location from the main campaign.

Two new weapons are set to be added from day one; the previously leaked GRAU 5.56 assault rifle and Strike 45 SMG.
Gunfight tournaments are set to be added in the new update too, along with a Call Of Duty League playlist – which reintroduces the classic minimap and adopts the rule parameters from the pro circuit.
