The new season has kept fans waiting for a long time to see the rumoured features and modes it is likely to bring along. Here are some of the confirmed features.

Shipment 1944 map

One of the most popular maps from CoD WWII, Shipment 1944 will be available in the 9th season. This multiplayer map puts players into a tight square enclosure with serious warfare on the mission. According to Activision, “success on Shipment 1944 requires finding that right balance between defending against attacks and pursuing your own”.

Gunsmith

One of the most innovative of changes, now gamers will be able to customise and assemble their personal guns and keep them safe so that they do not have to go through assembly again. Introduced in COD Modern warfare, this feature will be an interesting addition. For more details on how to curate your perfect weapon, visit the helping blog.
