MW2 Haunting Event Content
MW2 Haunting event brings a lot of new content, including The Haunting Captured Souls event, new skins, and new maps.
The Soul Capture Event
The Soul capture is a special limited-time event, and players can capture souls by eliminating enemies.

This event is available across Modern Warfare II, Call of Duty: Warzone, and all game modes during the Haunting event in MW2. You can get a lot of event rewards as well as daily login rewards. It is more similar to the previous Trophy hunt event players experienced.
Zombie Royale
This is a limited-time mod, and you can turn into a zombie once dead and come back from the dead by tearing apart other undead players and collecting special syringes. According to Activision, they have revamped the mode with past zombie royale experiences.
