Call Of Duty Modern Warfare 2 Free Multiplayer Period Starts This Week, Includes New Map

Activision has announced a free multiplayer period for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, and it starts just after the Season 2 Reloaded update arrives, making it a great time to jump in.

The free access period starts March 16 (a day after Season 2 Reloaded launches on March 15) and lets players try six multiplayer maps–including the new one Himmelatt Expo–a handful of game modes, and the game’s first co-op raid. The free access period wraps up on March 20.
