Will Call of Duty: Modern Warfare have a Battle Royale mode? Many multiplayer modes have been confirmed for Infinity Ward's latest entry in the series, including Ground War which apparently supports 100 players, but Battle Royale isn't among the announced lineup. However, rumour has it that the popular mode will be coming to the game, and what's more, it'll be free to play.
This got started with Twitter user and Call of Duty YouTuber, LongSensation:

They outed the title of the game before its official announcement, so there's a possibility they may have some inside knowledge. Still, have your pinches of salt at the ready.
What makes this slightly more believable is art director Joel Emslie's response when asked by Game Informer if Battle Royale will be in the game. After a long pause, Emslie says, "We'll have to wait and see." When you consider the aforementioned Ground War mode supposedly enables 100-player fights, it seems the tech is already there.
What do you think? Will Call of Duty: Modern Warfare receive a free to play Battle Royale mode post-launch? Or is it just wishful thinking? Choose your weapon in the comments below.

Finally some good thinking! It's the only way they can compete with Apex and Fortnite...Blackout is long forgotten
I'm still to play a Battle Royale game of any kind, I just don't see the attraction.
I enjoy playing blackout still with friends, I hope they still do 2 maps sizes as I really like the smaller close quarters alcatraz map. Which is probably the most unique fun I've had in a fps in years.
Ok. Im on board with this idea. Particularly if it means they dont monetise the main game....one can hope right?
Obviously there will stuff you can buy.
But as long as there isn't a "pay to win" method this could be the next big thing.
I'd get it.
I don’t do Battle Royale, and very little FPS anyways, but I would say a F2P BR Mode is a smart move for the franchise. The game will already sell like crazy (COD always does) so this can only help to compete with Fortnite and the others.
I’m perfectly content with Ground War, personally. To hell with Battle Royale.
@Rob_230 Well we do know that there will be COD points based on the deluxe editions.

@East76landS I think it’s worth checking out, if only for a couple hours. The first one I played was PUBG, and I honestly think that’s the best of the bunch. Fortnite has a weird building mechanic shoehorned in from the single player portion, and Apex Legends and Blackout being first person kinda makes the game less fun since it’s harder to spot enemies IMHO (in both solo and squads) which makes ambushes more of a thing. Nothing sucks more than running around for 10 minutes only to get suddenly blindsided and killed by another player or squad. At least when it’s third person you can see the attack coming a little better. Just my thoughts!
