Season 6 of Modern Warfare and Warzone has come to an end and it looks like it may be the last of the Modern Warfare era.
However, Modern Warfare may still have a few tricks up its sleeve yet as more and more files are being discovered.
Black Ops Cold War's Season 1 arrival was no doubt a big milestone for the franchise as it was the first crossover for Warzone and the brand new game.
But has Modern Warfare been left out? The game still offers Battle Pass progression with the latest universal Battle Pass, all be it that none of the items is usable in the multiplayer portion of the game.
So what is happening in multiplayer? The game could still get a significant amount of content going forward.
It's led players to believe a seventh season could be on the cards as game files suggest more is still to come or is it being held back for Modern Warfare 2?
Here's everything we know about Season 7 of Modern Warfare.

Soap MacTavish - 9th December
@Name_less has claimed that the new Operator for Modern Warfare Season 7 is Soap MacTavish.
He's linked to 22 minutes of voice lines, but the quality sounds a bit poor to be official lines.
Either way, it's our first bit of information on Season 7 content for quite sometime.
Infinity Ward Dev Confirms New Content Coming - 23rd November
An Infinity Ward dev has confirmed in a tweet that new content is coming but the name of it is unknown.
Today the Season 6 Battle Pass ended leaving the future of Modern Warfare in doubt.
But the progression system is scheduled to update with Season 1 of Black Ops Cold War on the 10th December.
Season 7 Still Coming? - 18th November
@ModernWarzone is very confident a Season 7 is coming to Modern Warfare.
On the 24th November, Nuketown 1984 is coming to Black Ops Cold War in a free content update.
The battle pass is expected to end on the 23rd November - meaning these two events happen almost simultaneously.
Activision has promised to create a unified progression system across Black Ops Cold War, Warzone and Modern Warfare.
So while Cold War players get a small and frantic map in Nuketown, will Modern Warfare players get Killhouse?
Leaks emerged that the classic COD4 map had been found in the game files.
Season 1 of Black Ops Cold War is due to start on the 10th December...so will the new Modern Warfare season be delayed? Or will it get its own season?
New Content On The Way? - 11th November
@ModernWarzone appears to believe that there is enough content for a significant content update - but he's unsure if it will be labelled Season 7.
He confirms that new weapons and maps have been discovered.
Recently, they confirmed that Soap will be coming too as a new Operator. Soap was notably absent from the entire game but was mentioned at the end of the campaign.
Two new weapons are set to arrive, the Scorpion from Black Ops 2 and an unknown LMG. The Scorpion has also recently been rumoured to be a post-launch weapon in Black Ops Cold War.
Killhouse has also been spotted in the game-files!

Possible Season 7 Hint? - 4th October
ACrysos on Twitter tweeted out a photo of one of the in-game screens that appeared when they received some COD Points.
This may have alluded to Season 7 being released for Modern Warfare or the Black Ops Cold War battle pass will be called Season 7, as it notes:
"You have progressed enough in Season 6 than if you purchase the Season 6 Battle Pass you will have earned enough COD Points to buy Season 7 at 50% discount!"
Season 7 Being Replaced By Small Content Updates? - 2nd October
@ModernWarzone has seemingly confirmed that Season 6 is the final season of the Modern Warfare era.
There are, admittedly, files that reference a seventh season but none have been updated for some time.
He believes that Moderrn Warfare will continue to be updated and supported, but the updates will no longer be seasonal.
Instead, Infinity Ward will implement smaller free content drops; but this isn't confirmed.
When Will Season 7 of Modern Warfare Start?
With the Battle Pass now finished, it doesn't look like a seventh season is coming.
But, there is more content coming and the progression system will update on the 10th December as Season 1 begins in Black Ops Cold War and Warzone.
Most major COD updates arrive at 11pm PT/7am BST
Warzone Storyline
Season 1
Al-Qatala has taken a death blow after the success of the Spec Ops. However, the Al-Qatala had plans to strike one critical weakness of the Armistice; their composition of otherwise opposing enemy factions. An incident occurs that downs a cargo containing a chemical weapon, resulting in a faction conflict between the Allegiance and Coalition members of the Armistice; in order to obtain ownership of the weapon.
Season 2
The Armistice is now in disarray and the infighting has now grown to full-scale war. The Al-Qatala took advantage of the circumstances and smuggled a nuclear weapon into the Verdansk. Captain Price and other commanders of the Armistice send in a single operator to recover the nuke - Simon "Ghost" Riley.
Season 3
Despite Ghost's efforts, the operation exceeded the capabilities of a single operator; meaning reinforcements were deployed. Alex, first thought to be KIA during the original campaign, was sent in. The in-fight growing ever more severe, rather than fighting the terrorist threat, the soldiers were fighting amongst each other for survival by attempting to secure the limited means of escape as the chemical gas closes in.
Season 4
With the situation in Verdansk looking bleak, drastic action was needed to resolve the situation. Task Force 141 was sent in under the leadership of Captain Price.
Season 5
As the chaos intensifies in Verdansk and the Armistice alliance becomes strained beyond its breaking point, Shadow Company arrives. They make an explosively memorable entrance, dropping in with style to make a statement and bolster the Allegiance, despite the company’s fireteam seemingly operating independently under their own set of rules.
Season 6
Nikolai and Farah are sent in to help Price cool the war erupting in Verdansk and stopping Zakhaev from transporting nuclear weapons via the subway.
Modern Warfare Season 7 Maps
It appears that Killhouse has been found in the game files for Modern Warfare.
With a very similar setting and aesthetic to the Gunfight map 'King', we may finally see this map added to multiplayer.
If there is a seventh season around the corner, this would be a nice addition to those that love playing Modern Warfare still and will help break up the monotony of Shipment and Shoot House.
@TheGhosofMW2 has also claimed that a new map called 'Airbase' is coming.
Here are some of the remaining maps that we could eventually see:
- Borderline
- Takedown
- Village
- Offshore
- Faridah
- Emporium
- Layover
- Assault
- Breakneck
- Seine Don
- Scaries
- Fallout
- Military Base 2
- Firing Range
- Garden
- Ravine
- Oasis
- Malyshev
- Hairat
Allegedly there were 60 maps in the works for Modern Warfare at one point, but whether they will make it to the final game is unknown.
@ModernWarzone has theorised that some of the maps are being saved for the sequel. Despite reporting High Rise arriving in-game, nothing has been heard since.
But he believes that Broadcast is the next multiplayer map.
We've also got a number of Gunfight maps to look forward to
- Fork (Gunfight)
- Hook (Gunfight)
- Exclusion (Gunfight)
- Boneyard (Gunfight)
- Cornfield (Gunfight)
- Theatre (Gunfight)
- Townhouse (Gunfight)
- Walco 2 (Gunfight)
- Drainage (Gunfight)
- King PM (Gunfight)
- Exclusion (Gunfight)
- Layover (Gunfight)
Please bear in mind, some of these may just be codenames and not their final map names.
Modern Warfare Season 7 Weapons
Two new weapons could be coming to Modern Warfare in the near future - an SMG and LMG.
The SMG is believed to be the Scorpion from Black Ops 2. A high rate of fire SMG that packed a serious punch but became increasingly difficult to control at range.

Codenamed 'SM_SECHO', this 9mm Parabellum weapon resembles the Scorpion EVO we all know and love.
Meanwhile, the LMG is codenamed 'WEAPON/LM_SLIMA, a 5.56 NATO round weapon.

@TheMW2Ghost has also confirmed that two new codes were added to Season 4 'm200 & m200_c'.
The m200 is the CheyTac Intervention, meaning it could arrive in the next season.
@ModerWarzone also chimed in saying that the Spas-12 was found in the game files back in February.
Call of Duty: Warzone
A few months ago, Taylor Kurosaki (Infinity Ward's Narrative Lead) and Amos Hodge (Raven Software's Director) confirmed that plenty of new content is coming to Warzone including:
- New items in-game that you can put in your loadout
- New items to find in BR and Plunder that aren't in your loadout
- New Field Upgrades
- New modes
- New loot
- Narrative story
We've certainly had plenty of that during the duration of Warzone and it wouldn't be surprising to see more come our way.
Here's everything that has been confirmed and rumoured in the new season for Warzone.
Updated Loot
Infinity Ward has assured that ground loot will have a continuous overhaul to diversify the strategies you can take across Warzone; so you can expect new tools of destruction to play with.
Expect to see every weapon type with a silenced and non-silenced variant, allowing squads to kit themselves for silent operations
New weapons and blueprints will be added to Supply Boxes and ground loot to Verdansk and stay tuned for additional meta updates as the Warzone further evolves.
Game Modes
@ModernWarzone has found additional playlists in the code for Warzone:
- Duos: One-Shot and Stimulus
- Solos, Duos, Trios and Quads: Bottom Line
- Infinite Gulag
- Most Wanted
- Run Like Hell
- Mo' Gulag, Mo' Problems
- Non-Stop
- PewPew
- Inflation Redeployment
There's no mention of a ranked playlist or mode for Warzone at this time.
Since the Battle Royale and the multiplayer are tied together with universal progression (including the battle pass) its unlikely that much will come in the form of unique Warzone cosmetics.
Map Changes
If you've been checking out the strategy guide that Activision launched with Warzone, there are many areas listed as "classified".
It's easy to assume these areas will be unlocked as time goes on and particularly when Season 6 launches.
With confirmation that a Subway is being implemented into Warzone, we're assuming that these classified areas are the Metro station entrances and link up the bunkers.
Players could be forgiven for not noticing certain changes to the new main menu in Modern Warfare and Warzone, that showcases Chernobyl and Pripyat.
In Season 3, the menus showed the Dam overflowing and starting to release water. The current dam in Warzone is frozen and no water is really on the map at all right now.
There were also suspicious howling noises, a mystery that has still yet to be solved.
Strangely, these highlighted areas and points have been completely forgotten about nothing has really arrived from it.
In fact, Infinity Ward’s Narrative Director Taylor Kurosaki briefly mentioned how the studio is looking at Fortnite-like events that fit the Warzone and Modern Warfare universe.
We're currently turning our attention to Black Ops Cold War, which is being revealed in Warzone. New buildings, bunkers and other easter eggs are being discovered that could potentially transform the map.
We know that Warzone will evolve with the new Call of Duty and perhaps once the new game has been officially revealed, we will start to see the map slowly evolve as we get closer to launch.
Vehicles
A lot of theories are popping up that suggests tanks will arrive in Warzone, but nothing is concrete yet.
Season 7 Battle Pass Rewards
There will be 100 Tiers of content, some of which will be free, but the rest requires players to purchase the Pass for 1,000 CoD Points.
The Battle Pass features an array of weapons, blueprints, emblems, stickers, charms, calling cards, watches, operator skins, vehicle skins, finishing moves, XP tokens and 1300 COD Points.
You'll be able to purchase 20 Tier skips for 2,400 CoD points, too.
If you managed to grind your way through the battle pass for Season 6, you should have earnt enough points to buy the Season 7 pass for free.

Spec Ops
The Spec Ops mode is receiving less love as time goes on, although a few new maps have been added to the survival mode.
We could see a few more maps added this season.
Season 7 Operators
A new season means new Operators and as more campaign characters are added to the mix, there are plenty that could still arrive.
We should see Soap MacTavish added as an Operator if new Operators are to be added in the game.
Season 7 Game Modes
There are many game modes that have been found in the game, but have yet to be added into the rotation:
- Rupture - Take control of a powerful Juggernaut and push to the enemy's base to win.
- Team Juggernaut - Each team has a Juggernaut. Juggernaut kills are worth more points. First team to reach the score limit wins.
- Reinforce - Capture points will revive fallen teammates. Taking all points will win the round.
- Invasion - Take your team's flag into the enemy base.
- High-Value Target - Gain score by eliminating players on the opposing team. Extract high-value enemy combatants to steal score back..
- Assault - Attackers attack a bombsite while defenders defend.
The following playlists have yet to be implemented:
- Hit Man
- Rat Race
- Jugg of War
- Student Loan Payments
- Team Building Exercise
- Working From Home - Small map mosh pit.
