Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II has some big 32v32 Ground War maps.

Modern Warfare II gets Battlefield vibe with massive Invasion and Ground War battles

Sometimes when you’re part of a really massive online battle, you can find that rare moment and place on the map where everybody in the game makes the mistake of ignoring you. You get a chance to shoot fish in a barrel and you wonder if everyone else is a bot.

I had that feeling this weekend as I had a chance to play the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II multiplayer beta on the PC, as I had my best round ever. Last week, I played enough to level up to the first 15 levels on the PlayStation 5 beta. And this week, I earned another 15 levels, maxing out at level 30 on the PC/Xbox beta. My accounts are linked so I was able to continue leveling up from the PS5 to the PC.
