Modern Warfare 3 beta hosts tons of new and returning features, but fans are particularly anticipating the return of the Firing Range, which Infinity Ward confirmed before the start of the Modern Warfare II Beta in September 2022. Now, the wait is almost over because the training map is set to return on the game’s launch on November 10, 2023.

Players in COD Modern Warfare 3 are expected to have access to a wide variety of weaponry. Aside from weapons, several pieces of equipment and attachments will also be available in the game to enhance gun performance. This is where the Firing Range comes in handy.

The Firing Range is a compact-size multiplayer map that has multiple appearances in the Call of Duty series. It is set in a Cuban military training site and is used by players to test their weapons before hopping into a match.

Players can test out powerful loadouts, get a firm grip on their guns, and enhance their aim accuracy. They can avoid disadvantages during a match by testing their weapons and practicing mount and shooting on the Firing Range.

Additionally, players can test recoil patterns, weapon handling, and certain attachment tunes at the firing range in great detail. All of these will help them create the weapon of their dreams.

For players who will test their weapons and undergo training in the Firing Range once the game is launched, submachine guns, assault rifles, and light machine Guns are the best weapons to use in close-quarter to medium-range warfare. On the other hand, shotguns can be a great asset for defending a building.

Due to the small size of the battlefield, snipers are quite difficult to use and are fairly scarce in the shooting range. However, they can still offer effective support fire using the low and medium adjustments on a Variable Scoped Sniper Rifle.
