The Haunting Event returns in Warzone and MW3 with Season 6, perfectly aligning with the Halloween season. Following the success of the previous iteration across both titles, this event is expected to once again have a positive impact on the fanbase, introducing spooky and eerie-themed modes, map variants, and more. These additions aim to enhance gameplay by offering players new, atmospheric environments to explore and fight in.
This article will cover what the Haunting Event brings to Warzone and MW3. For a detailed breakdown, read below.
What can we expect from the Haunting event in Warzone and MW3
The Haunting Event in Warzone and MW3 stands out as the main attraction of Season 6, with most of the new content centered around this eerie experience.
Warzone
In Warzone, players can expect new map variants and modes as part of the Haunting Event. Two of the main map variants include the Hellspawn Rebirth Island and Vondel Night.
Trending
The former, Rebirth Island, undergoes a total transformation: devilish tentacles surround the map, and the entire island becomes a gore-soaked landscape, creating a haunting and terrifying atmosphere. A strange mist with a yellow hue fills the air, while the ocean turns blood-red, and the rocky coastal outcrops sprout unsettling crimson vegetation.
In contrast, the Vondel map variant remains mostly unchanged, but players will experience it under a dark, moonlit sky. The map's nocturnal setting, with long shadows and illuminated buildings, offers a mysterious and captivating nighttime landscape.

Also to make things more interesting, a new limited-time mode called Purgatory will also be introduced, available exclusively on the Hellspawn Rebirth Island map variant. In this mode, players will have unlimited respawns and access to custom loadouts, alongside a range of exciting mechanics like powerful upgrades, portals, and more.
Eliminating other players increases your Torment level, allowing you to earn extra XP per kill. Additionally, special Scare Packages provide valuable loot with surprises, including the Terriball, a unique item that can be shot, melee attacked, or run into, instantly eliminating any Operator it hits.
On top of that, Zombies Royale will return as a limited-time mode, available on both the Hellspawn and Vondel Night map variants.
Modern Warfare 3
In Modern Warfare 3, players can look forward to returning game modes and a new map, along with two haunting-themed map variants. The new map, Drive Thru, is set in the decaying forecourt of Funny’s Fried Fun, a sinister, killer clown-themed restaurant that exudes an eerie atmosphere.
One of the new variants, Mad Cow, transforms the map into a flooded slaughterhouse from hell, complete with grisly meat scattered across the Bay Area. Another Shipment map variant, Ghost Ship, features strange glowing glyphs on the ground and chains and hooks hanging overhead, evoking a truly sinister vibe.
Additionally, four fan-favorite modes are returning as part of the Haunting Event: Hordepoint, Arcade, Mutation, and Infected. These modes feature unique mechanics, such as battling both the living and the undead, gaining enhanced abilities, fighting mutants with special powers, or fleeing to survive against infected players.
