It has already gone live in the game following the debut of the latest season.

What is Faction Showdown in Call of Duty Modern Warfare II?

From August 4 to August 16, CoD players can take part in the ongoing Faction Showdown event in Modern Warfare II as well as Warzone. The objective is simple: pick a side out of Task Force 141 and Shadow Company and fight for it. Players will have to amass as many kills as possible. Eventually, the faction with the highest number of kills, contributed by the players themselves, will win.

What makes this event interesting is the fact that players have the option to keep switching between Task Force 141 and Shadow Company. Additionally, the faction with the most number of kills will also receive a bonus reward. When it comes to rewards, Call of Duty players have a lot to get excited about.
