The latest Call of Duty blog provided a brief overview of everything that will be arriving with the upcoming Season 2 update. A portion of the content will also remain reserved for the mid-seasonal patch, while the others will become available from the start of the new season.
This article will highlight all the new content coming to Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone in Season 2.
All new Modern Warfare 3 Season 2 gameplay content

All new Modern Warfare 3 Season 2 maps
A total of 4 new 6v6 maps will be released which include a remastered map and 3 completely fresh maps.
- Departures: A competitive map set in the departure area of Zakhaev International Airport and is larger than the existing Terminal arena. It will feature varying heights and a compelling mix of both long and close-range combat.
- Stash House: A compact Shipment-sized map to entertain players who enjoy chaos and aggression. The map comes with various avenues to climb over boxes and walls to secure high-ground advantage.
- Vista: The map is set in a Brazilian mountaintop resort with various small stalls providing momentary cover for players to reset. It is similar to Shoot House in terms of size and provides opportunities to shotgunners and snipers alike with its diverse layout.
- Das Haus (mid-season): A remastered version of the classic map set on top of an under-construction highrise building. It is similar to Highrise but offers more breathing room with open areas and varying cover with a chance to capture the height advantage.
Two new map variants are being added to the infected mode multiplayer.
- Airborne (mid-season): An infected environment set in a post-apocalyptic Terminal blooming with otherworldly cysts and locusts.
- Skidrow (mid-season): A variant of Skidrow where the natural life has taken over entire structures and presents a green environment with moss and mold growing on almost every corner.
A new War map will also be available on launch.
Operation Tin Man: A new 6v6 War mode map will make its debut in the new season. It will take place in Urzikstan’s Downtown area inside a highrise building. While one team fights to defend the structure, the other needs to clear it out and plant explosives on the upper floors. You will be skydiving onto the roof of the building as the attacking team.
Modern Warfare 3 new game modes
New game modes will also be available in Modern Warfare 3 Season 2.
- Team Gun Game: The same Gun Game mode with the base rules of a Team Deathmatch where every player starts with the same gun. Kill to upgrade your weapons and win the match.
- Snipers Only: A fun mosh pit for players who wish to participate in long-range sniper gunfights. All other weapon classes will remain restricted in this mode.
- Hordepoint: A combination of multiplayer’s Hardpoint mode and Zombies mode. A portal spawns deadly zombies whenever players enter the Hardpoint boundary.
- Juggermosh (mid-season): All players are Juggernauts in the matches (Kill Confirmed, Domination, and Hardpoint) and are featured in a special third-person perspective mode.
- Bounty (mid-season): Target the high-value targets for point boost and rake in as many eliminations as possible to increase your score and win the match.
Decay’s Realm (mid-season): The otherworldly map variant playlist will take players back to the horrifying infected arenas and present a chaotic mosh pit.
