Activision recently confirmed that all 16 MW2 (2009) maps will be arriving with Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3. Previously, numerous reputable sources online had reported this; however, since there was no official confirmation of the same, fans were left uncertain.
Modern Warfare 3 is the upcoming entry in the Call of Duty series and is the direct sequel to 2022's Modern Warfare 2. The title will feature the iconic villain Makarov as he takes on the forces of Task Force 141.
Despite the rumors of it being a DLC, Activision has confirmed that it will be a full-fledged premium release scheduled to arrive on November 10, 2023.
