Modern Warfare 2 art suggests a return to Steam for Call of Duty
1Modern Warfare 2 art suggests a return to Steam for Call of Duty.
In 2017, Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 was released on Battle.net—the first game in the series available on Activision Blizzard's launcher rather than Steam.
The trend continued with subsequent CoDs: Modern Warfare, Warzone, Black Ops Cold War, and Vanguard.
That trend might be reversing with this year's Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, if we can read into splash art spotted on Steam and then posted to (opens in new tab) Reddit by a user named Kalinine.
The art, which was found at the bottom of pages for Call of Duty DLC, was quickly removed and now blank images show underneath pages like the one collecting (opens in new tab) DLC for Black Ops 3.
While it was still live, the splash showed the same image of Lt.
Simon 'Ghost' Riley being used to promote Modern Warfare 2 in, for example, the (opens in new tab) tweet announcing its release date.
Cheers to Redditor garysplay, who saved a (opens in new tab) link to the background art.
