What to expect from Modern Warfare 3 Season 3?

Modern Warfare 3 Season 3 will be a treat for those who crave more maps in the game's Multiplayer experience. The new update will give them six new core 6v6 maps. Most of them will be available with the debut of Season 3.

Here's a list of all the new Multiplayer maps in Modern Warfare 3 Season 3:

  • 6 Star (Launch)
  • Emergency (Launch)

Four new Game modes in Modern Warfare 3 Season 3

Capture the Flag (Launch): The fan-favorite Multiplayer mode will make its comeback with Season 3. It sees two teams pitted against each other, with eliminations being a secondary objective during the match. The main aim revolves around stealing the opponent's flags and returning them to one's home base.

One in the Chamber (Launch Window): First introduced with 2010's Black Ops, this is basically a party mode. Each player gets a single bullet to start with and gains another after getting a kill. Also, everyone starts with three lives in case things don't go as expected.

Minefield (Mid-Season): In this unique mode, each time an enemy is killed, a proximity mine is dropped at the enemy corpse. This mine cannot be picked up and remains deadly to the opposing team (but not to any friendly teammate).

Escort (Mid-Season): Based on the previously famous Payload mode, this one sees two teams with unlimited respawns facing each other on various maps. While one team tries to protect a MAW as it maneuvers across the map, the other team tries to take down and destroy the vehicle.

Once the first game of the match is completed, the teams swap objectives. The team with the quickest vehicle takedowns wins eventually.
