During the event, participants will join Shadow Company to battle against the Konni forces and secure chemical weapons “before it’s too late.” There will be “numerous rewards” up for grabs, including a new base weapon that will be available in Warzone and Modern Warfare II right away.
In related news, Activision has confirmed that the majority of players’ purchases, Operators, and weapon levels will transfer to Modern Warfare III when it is released on November 10. It is worth noting that Microsoft is currently in the process of attempting to acquire Activision Blizzard and the Call of Duty franchise, but the deal has not been finalized yet. Regardless of the outcome, Call of Duty will remain on PlayStation for at least the next decade.
