How Many Missions are in COD Modern Warfare 2?

Go in with the right intel.

Nearly every Call of Duty game has a single-player campaign that ties together all of the maps and weapons found within the multiplayer component. Each studio has its own approach to the single player though, and it can change the entire length of campaign when two games are compared.

Infinity Ward has always been known for some of the strongest single-player campaigns, especially with the Modern Warfare series, both rebooted and old. Modern Warfare 2 is no different, and it has a fairly extensive list of missions to complete. Get the full list here along with the names of each mission.

COD Modern Warfare 2 – How Many Missions are There?

Compared to some previous Call of Duty games, MW2 has a fairly beefy single-player list for potential Operators to complete. In total, there are 17 main missions that make up the campaign. These are sprawling locations that take players all over the place as expected. You can find the full mission list below.

Modern Warfare 2 Mission List

  1. Strike
  2. Kill or Capture 
  3. Wetwork
  4. Tradecraft
  5. Borderline
  6. Cartel Protection
  7. Close Air
  8. Hardpoint
  9. Recon By Fire
  10. Violence And Timing
  11. El Sin Nombre
  12. Dark Water
  13. Alone
  14. Prison Break
  15. Hindsight
  16. Ghost Team
  17. Countdown

Along with having a hefty campaign for players to get through, the missions themselves are some of the longest that we’ve seen in the franchise. Just like the first Modern Warfare in 2019, each chapter brings players through tactical and intense locations that are slow burns with high action points.

Once you’ve completed the full campaign for MW2, you’ll earn a unique blueprint for the M4 that resembles the colors and logo of Task Force 141. You can always run it again for the Veteran completion, but you’ll have your new M4 and can use it all you want in the multiplayer modes.
