In a blast from the past, rumours are swirling that the highly anticipated Modern Warfare 3 (MW3) will revive fan-favorite classic maps as Points of Interest (POIs) for its battle royale mode. The successful Warzone 2 strategy of integrating iconic maps, including Highrise from MW2, Dome from MW3, and Showdown from COD 4, is rumoured to carry forward, potentially providing fans with a tantalising dash of nostalgia.
Information about a “greatest hits map pack” for Modern Warfare 2, expected to release in 2023, is also making waves across the gaming community. This paid expansion promises to deliver a rich gaming experience by offering classic maps from the catalogs of Infinity Ward, Treyarch, and Sledgehammer. The map pack is intended to celebrate the two-decade legacy of the Call of Duty franchise, keeping fans at the edge of their gaming chairs.

In a surprising turn of events, game publisher Activision has reportedly switched gears from rolling out a DLC to launching a full-fledged standalone title. However, MW3 could still serve up a healthy dose of nostalgia for long-term fans, according to the leaks.
Popular Warzone 2 streamer, Metaphor, has stirred up the gaming world with his revelations regarding COD 4 and MW3 maps being included in the forthcoming MW3. According to Metaphor, the new Warzone map ‘Downtown’ is strikingly reminiscent of Verdansk, the much-loved setting in the previous instalment. Additionally, the COD 4 map, Countdown, is expected to be a key POI in the new Warzone battleground.
Metaphor’s leaks suggest that the new Warzone map will heavily borrow from Verdansk, offering players fewer open fields and a stronger emphasis on urban, building-based combat. The change in battle terrain could make for intense and unpredictable gameplay, keeping players thoroughly engaged.
Meanwhile, leaker Tom Henderson has shared news that Las Almas, a notable map from the Modern Warfare 2 campaign, will take centre stage as MW3’s principal battle royale map. If true, this could give players a fresh yet familiar environment to engage in epic battles.
