fellow teammate.
“Infinity Ward and all of our phenomenal development teams have
pushed the envelope in every way, and launch is just the beginning.
We have a tremendous number of additional innovations and
experiences coming as we head into upcoming live seasons of
content; Warzone 2.0 next month, Warzone coming to mobile

the most ambitious releases in our history and we are excited to
finally get into the action together with our players,” added Dave

creatively. From the beginning, our teams set out to create a bold,
new set of experiences for all players to enjoy. Every design
decision, technical innovation and piece of game development has
been in service to deliver on this goal. This is only the start, as
motivated as we are for today with Modern Warfare II’s
release, we’re equally inspired for what’s to come in days with
Warzone 2.0,” said Patrick Kelly, Creative Director for Call
