The Modern Warfare Beta has now come to an end, though during its availability partners of VG Sources discovered upon the Multiplayer modes list via the in-game files on PC.
Infinity Ward appears to be providing a slight spin on the Call of Duty franchise with the upcoming iteration. Although the in-game files suggest the return of some classic modes, there are notably references to some entirely new ones.
While some of these references may have been included within the files for merely testing, others might have purely been left over content. That said, the vast majority of the list should still be accurate.
