Yet another group of athletes have gone hands-on with Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 is shaping up to be one of the biggest games of 2022, which shouldn’t come as a surprise to many. The Call of Duty franchise routinely sells tens of millions of copies on an annual basis and is frequently the best selling game of each year, but the next installment could be the biggest one to date. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare released in 2019 and sold over 30 million copies, placing it in the top 20 best-selling games of all time. It’s the biggest Call of Duty to date and it marked a major turning point for the franchise due to how it handled post-launch content, gunplay, and introduced things like Call of Duty: Warzone.
There are tons of people eager to go hands on with the sequel and developer Infinity Ward has been inviting people to check it out throughout 2022. In April, NFL Draft prospects were the first to check out the game ahead of a press event in early June . At the beginning of August, some NFL players got to play the multiplayer for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 and leaked some images from their time with the game. Now, NBA athletes like Paul George are getting the opportunity to play Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 ahead of the game’s beta in September. Infinity Ward shared some images of the athletes playing the game, but unfortunately, no new looks at the game leaked out of this event.
