Excitement is building within the gaming community as Activision teases the return of iconic multiplayer maps to Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, one of the most anticipated FPS games of the year. A tantalizing hint from the official Twitter account suggests that all 16 multiplayer maps from the acclaimed Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 (2009) could potentially be making a comeback in the upcoming release.
The tweet prompts fans to text the name of each map, promising a confirmation in return. A screenshot accompanying the tweet showcases pinned locations of the maps, many of which are synonymous with some of the franchise’s most beloved entries. Highrise, Terminal, Rust, Underpass, Wasteland, Quarry, Favela, and Rundown are just a few of the classic arenas hinted at in this exciting revelation.

The inclusion of these cherished multiplayer maps from Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 could potentially enrich the gaming experience by offering players a diverse array of well-designed environments to engage in battles. Many of these maps haven’t been accessible to players for well over a decade, creating a sense of nostalgia and anticipation for the upcoming release.
The precursor to this tease can be traced back to the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Remastered campaign, which launched in 2020 for Xbox One, PS4, and PC platforms. While it faithfully recreated the original’s story mode, it notably omitted the multiplayer maps that played a pivotal role in the game’s initial success. This decision diverged from the approach taken by Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered, which included a multiplayer component when it was released four years prior.
Fans eagerly await further announcements regarding these classic maps, adding to the anticipation surrounding the official Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 reveal event scheduled for later today. As the clock ticks toward the unveiling at 10:30 AM PST / 1:30 PM ET / 6:30 PM BST, gamers are eager to learn more about the game’s features and content. The recent Makarov reveal trailer has already provided a glimpse into the narrative direction, hinting at a continuation of the plot points introduced in the 2011 title.
