MW2 Season 1 End Date: February 15th, 2023
After a strong 3 month run packed with new content and updates, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2‘s first season is set to wrap up on February 15th, 2023.
As an avid CoD player myself, I‘ve been eagerly following all the Season 1 intel to share the need-to-know details with you here! In this comprehensive guide, we‘ll break down everything you can expect as MW2‘s maiden season comes to a close.
Multi-Season Structure: What Happens Next?
While game-wide progression does continue between seasons, MW2 does shake up certain elements with the transition to Season 2:
- New 100-Tier Battle Pass – A new batch of cosmetic rewards to unlock
- Limited-Time Content Removed – Seasonal events, playlists, cosmetics/blueprints no longer available
- New Prestige Ranks – Extended level cap allows players to grind deeper
However, your overall commander rank, weapon levels, and unlocked attachments will carry straight over into Season 2.
Prestige Progression Model
Modern Warfare 2 has shifted away from the traditional prestige system in favor of seasonal prestige ranks. Here‘s how it works across multiple seasons:
- Rank 1-55: Standard military ranks
- Prestige 1: Enter first prestige tier (rank 56-100)
- Prestige 2: Second prestige, and so on…
- Max Prestige per Season – Increased by 3-4 prestige tiers every season
So while ranks do not reset each season, players can essentially "re-prestige" through an extended ranking pathway every 2 months.
Battle Pass Breakdown
The Season 1 Battle Pass will vanish along with the wider seasonal content on February 15th.
- Standard CoD Duration: 12 Weeks
- Average Tiers: 100
- Free Items: ~25% total content
- Paid (CP) Items: ~75% total content
Based on previous Call of Duty titles, we can expect MW2‘s future battle pass seasons to follow a similar structure.
Battle Pass Stats Comparison

While MWII‘s first Battle Pass has run longer than average, we expect subsequent seasons to settle into a 12-15 week cadence.
What You‘ll Miss Out On
Seasonal content going away includes:
- Limited-time cosmetic bundles – Some skins/blueprints could make a return
- 1-shot playlist removed – Hardcore S&D, Cyber Attack removed
- Holiday events conclude – No more festive menu music
- Seasonal challenges – With exclusive calling cards and emblems
Personally, I‘m going to miss out on the Special Ops winter event – those snowball weapon blueprints cracked me up!
The good news is that player progression (ranks, weapons, etc.) all carry forward. But limited-time cosmetics and playlist variants will go dark until (potentially) making a return many seasons later.
What Can We Expect from MW2 Season 2?
While details remain heavily under wraps, the CoD rumor mill indicates Season 2 could include:
- 🌄 A new battle royale map for Warzone 2
- 🗺️ At least 2 new 6v6 multiplayer maps
- 🔫 New weapons like the vector SMG
- 🎭 An original MW2 operator named ‘Zeus‘
Officially, we can expect new maps, modes, customization items, and balance changes aimed at fine-tuning the MW2 experience. There may also be a free functional weapon unlocked at tier 15 of the new battle pass.
Stay tuned for leaks and official teasers over the coming weeks!
