The second season of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare begins today, and patch notes are now available for you to watch. Ghost is coming to the game as a new Operator, and fan favorite Rust is making a comeback. There's a new map called Atlas Superstore, and a special Gunfight map called Bazaar. This is good news if you get a little too used to the maps on offer.
Two new weapons have also arrived, in the form of the GRAU 5.56 rifle and the Striker 45 submachine gun. You can find the full patch notes, including all fixes and balance changes, below.
