The lobby looks similar to other<strong> recent iterations<\/strong> of the Call of Duty franchise. Right at the top of the screen, you\u2019ll see the various operational buttons such as Play, Operators, Weapons, and Barracks. These are exactly where you\u2019d expect them &#8211; no pointless changes or innovations here. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed aligncenter is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Breaking: Modern Warfare 2 MP lobby image via NFL player Cameron Dicker IG <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/K1ofMeoExH\">pic.twitter.com\/K1ofMeoExH<\/a><\/p>&mdash; CharlieIntel (@charlieINTEL) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/charlieINTEL\/status\/1554621868753227777?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">August 3, 2022<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>To the right of these tabs, you\u2019ll find the social menu, and the remainder of the screen is quite standard if you\u2019re familiar with modern Call of Duty games. The lobby\u2019s background looks fairly standard, too, proving that the trend of the animated lobby featuring various in-game characters is going nowhere anytime soon.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There is one rather interesting aspect of the leak, however. As blurry as the image is, if you look at the game mode select screen, you\u2019ll see the word <strong>DMZ<\/strong>. You might need to squint, but it\u2019s there. If you\u2019re not familiar with the term, DMZ is the name given to a rumored extraction royale game mode that some say will bear some resemblance to Escape from Tarkov.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>DMZ is a controversial topic within CoD forums. Some players don\u2019t believe the game mode will be included in the game\u2019s initial release, believing that is will instead form part of future paid DLC. Others say it\u2019ll be a<strong> free-to-play component <\/strong>similar to Warzone 2. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The presence of the term DMZ in a leaked screenshot doesn\u2019t prove any of these rumors, only that the feature does currently exist. We\u2019ll have to hang on a little longer to find out what the initial release of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 is going to look like.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you just want to see the potential map for Modern Warfare 2, though, you won\u2019t have to wait terribly long.
