Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III has It got off to a rough start With critics and everyday players alike, it's partly because there's too much recycled content—but there's plenty of fresh stuff coming soon to keep players coming back and winning over.
Activation Friday offered a sneak peek Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III's first season update, including a variety of gameplay improvements including all-new player maps, zombie mode improvements, and a fresh WarZone Battle Royale map.
Three 6v6 maps will be added, two of which will be available on launch day: Meat, based in Cyrae, and Greece, based on a coastal Mediterranean city. A third new 6v6 map called Rio will arrive later in the season. A Gunfight 2v2 mode will also be added to the new training facility map, which will include a “central shooting gallery and multiple exit opportunities.”
Through Zombies, players can enter the Dark Aether Rifts, which offers a “grim and chaotic challenge.” A new amazing weapon called the Friend Zone “turns enemies, zombie or human, into loyal allies,” he said.
Season 1 also brings a new Warzone map called Urzikstan, which includes Activision's 11 major points of interest. The publisher says Warzone will update Modern Warfare III's movement mechanics like slide canceling and tack stance.
There is no release date yet for the Season 1 update, which will be free for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III owners. However, given the middling momentum surrounding the game, Activision may be considering a late release.
