Call of Duty Modern Warfare III Season 2 Introduces Warhammer Collaboration

Call of Duty Modern Warfare III Season 2 introduces another surprising collaboration to the Call of Duty universe, the world of Warhammer 40,000.

Games Workshop’s miniature wargaming franchise has long been fertile ground for video games, but it hasn’t really been big enough to be taken on by Activision.

Furthermore, you get an Ultramarine only ability to jump down from tall heights to create area-of-effect stun and damage. In this mode, you can only get air support Killstreaks, so you will have to take out other enemies yourself.

As an Ultramarine, you can grab armor from fallen enemies as your own, and take more damage by aiming for the head. These modes will also let you see your enemies healthbars. Finally, these modes also give you access to the Chainsword, as a one hit kill melee weapon found in the center of the map.

Now, if you want to keep these Ultramarine skins permanently, you will have to buy them as part of the Tracer Pack: Warhammer 40,000 Space Marines Bundle. These will give you the “Ultramar’s Vengeance” Ultramarines and “Baal’s Wrath” Blood Angels Space Marine Juggernaut Recon Killstreak Skins.

There is also a Tracer Pack: Warhammer 40,000 Sisters of Battle Bundle, which gives
