Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II is adding raids after launch, and now Infinity Ward has shed some additional light on what to expect from them.
Little is known about raids in Modern Warfare II, but Infinity Ward said that fans can expect each raid to “advance [the] ongoing story, while old friends and new enemies tie up loose ends…”
As previously announced, raids are coming to Modern Warfare II on December 14 with the start of Season 1 Reloaded. Apparently there will be raids within Spec Ops. A blog post from early October states that on December 14, “Special Ops receives the first episode of raids for operators to master.”
The raids come @Obligations later this year.
Following the events of the #MWII campaign, each seasonal phase will advance our ongoing story, as old friends and new enemies tie up loose ends…

Raids in Modern Warfare II are described as a “whole new experience” for Call of Duty. They take the form of a three-player co-op “engagement” that Activision says will require “teamwork and strategic puzzle-solving” between intense firefights.
Raids are known to be exciting and challenging in other games that have them, like Bungie’s Destiny 2. As mentioned, the Call of Duty series has never had raids, so it will be interesting to see how they are implemented.
While fans have to wait until December for raids, Modern Warfare II’s full release, covering the campaign and multiplayer, is scheduled for October 28. you need to know about preload and launch times.
