There is currently limited content available for the game outside of the Call of Duty Endowment package and the Vault Edition add-on. Aside from these extras, players will have to grind through the levels to unlock added camos or emblems for their loadouts. For extra content, however, players will have to wait a few weeks after the game’s official launch. As announced by Infinity Ward, the first season will begin on Nov. 16 and will come equipped with the season one battle pass.

For players who purchased the Vault Edition of MW2, the season one battle pass will already be unlocked for them. The $30 addition to the game gave players not only exclusive operator skins and blueprints but the battle pass as well. Also included in the Vault Edition of MW2 are 50 battle pass tier skips, giving players a huge head start to the season. PlayStation players also get added tier skips simply for buying the game on that console: a total of 25 tier skips for purchasing the battle pass, five of which are added on as a PlayStation exclusive. 

After the first season releases, Infinity Ward will continue to release seasons throughout the year. These seasons may feature new maps, weapons, and operators as the game goes on. Since MW2 could be the main Call of Duty title for the next two years, there should be plenty of seasons to come in the future.
