Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 – it’s unsurprisingly about as long as previous Call Of Duty campaigns (pic: Activision)
Those who pre-ordered Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 haven been playing its campaign mode already, revealing how long it takes to beat.
The full game doesn’t launch for another week, but those who have pre-ordered Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 (at least digitally) have early access to its single-player campaign.
The early access period began on Thursday, which means some have cleared the campaign and learned some additional details that latecomers may be interested in knowing.
Namely, how long it will take, on average, to beat the campaign, as well as how many missions there are. Don’t worry, we won’t be sharing any story spoilers, though we wouldn’t be surprised if they’re already floating about online.
How long does it take to beat Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 2’s campaign?
The general consensus is that, at the very least, it will take you six hours to complete the campaign. Depending on your choice of difficulty level, your own skill, and your approach to the open sandbox stealth missions, it could take upwards of eight or 10 hours.
This is in line with previous entries in the series. Both the campaigns for the original Modern Warfare 2 from 2009 and the 2019 Modern Warfare reboot were about six hours long on a standard playthrough.
How many missions are in Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 2?
There are exactly 17 missions in total, which is just one less than the number of from the original Modern Warfare 2. That game had 18 missions, plus an extra one that served as a Call Of Duty museum.
For anyone wondering, the 2019 Modern Warfare actually had less missions, at just 14.
Will there be any campaign DLC for Modern Warfare 2?
Nothing has been confirmed by Activision or Infinity Ward. However, there are rumours that there will be some kind of expansion that will include extra campaign content.
Exactly what it will entail isn’t clear, but it’s claimed that it will release in 2023 to make up for the lack of a new Call Of Duty game, meaning Activision is breaking its yearly release schedule.

This would also mean that the next game (rumoured to be Call Of Duty: Black Ops 5 from Treyarch) won’t release until 2024.
Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 launches for Xbox One, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 5, and PC on October 28.
