The next Call of Duty: Modern Warfare free weekend is going to be an extra long one, giving you plenty of time to try out some of the new maps coming in season 5.

If you've been playing Call of Duty: Warzone and have been itching to give its more traditional multiplayer counterpart a try, you already have everything you need to play. Throughout the free trial, you'll be able to load up a special playlist full of handpicked maps and modes that will give you a nice, big chunk of the Modern Warfare multiplayer experience.

The free multiplayer playlist will include five maps, including two new selections from season 5: Suldal Harbor and Petrov Oil rig. The modes on offer will include a mix of both deathmatch and objective-based modes, so you'll get a variety of play styles all in one list.
