New Maps

Three all-new 6v6 Maps join a star-studded roster of locales with an iconic playspace to follow in-season. Start Season 2 off right by jumping into the Stash House 24/7 Playlist on day one.

Stash House

  • Follow the Federal authorities into a recently raided Bay Area stash house ripe for close-quarters engagements.

Vista

  • Welcome to a Brazilian mountaintop resort with gift shops and restaurants, a perfect environment for all playstyles.

Departures

  • Explore the Departures area of the Zakhaev International Airport, a clean and competitive 6v6 map with areas for all ranges of combat.

Das Haus (In-Season)

  • Navigate an under-construction skyscraper in the vicinity of Highrise as the seminal, small-sized Call of Duty: Vanguard map returns with an all-new look.

New War Map

Skydive into Operation Tin Man for a new, linear objective-driven experience in War Mode.

Expect an airdrop as your team skydives down to the roof of a skyscraper, navigating the multi-level construction site. One team protects the structure while the other plants explosives to clear a path downward.

New Modes

As each week of Season 2 progresses, be on the lookout for Playlist Updates containing each of the five new Modes.

Hordepoint

  • Capture the Hardpoint and hold it against attack. Fight back against the horde of zombies. The first team to reach the score limit wins.

Team Gun Game

  • Progress through a series of weapons with your team. First team to reach the score limit wins.

Snipers Only (In-Season)

  • Battle in objective-based modes with only hard-hitting Sniper Rifles.

Juggermosh (In-Season)

  • All Juggernaut combat, all the time, within matches of Kill Confirmed, Domination, and Hardpoint.

Bounty (In-Season)

New Weapons

Two new Weapons debut at the helm of Season 2 with two specialized additions arriving later in-season.

BP50 (Assault Rifle)

  • A modular bullpup chambered in 5.56. Tear down the competition with a high rate of fire and exceptional accuracy for dominating at mid to long ranges.

RAM-9 (Submachine Gun)

  • More maneuverable and agile than its assault rifle counterpart, this bullpup SMG chambered in 9mm is lethal at close range.

SOA Subverter (Battle Rifle, In-Season)

  • Chambered in 7.62, this hard-hitting rifle dominates at mid to longer ranges thanks to a low rate of fire and predictable recoil.

Soulrender (Melee, In-Season)

  • A ceremonial blade capable of razor-sharp cuts and deadly melee action in close-quarters combat.

New Aftermarket Parts

In tandem with new weaponry is an arsenal of new Aftermarket Parts to transform your favorite Weapons.

JAK Burnout (Holger 26, Battle Pass)

  • Gives the Holger 26 an adverse fire mode that provides a dramatically increased fire rate but will overheat and expand the barrel, introducing increased recoil over time.

JAK Tyrant 762 Kit (Longbow, Weekly Challenge)

  • This caliber Conversion Kit swaps out the receiver and magazine to accommodate 7.62 BLK ammunition for a harder-hitting, subsonic weapon.

JAK Backsaw Kit (Holger 556, Weekly Challenge)

  • Gives the Holger 556 a high-capacity drum magazine and a side-by-side double barrel, allowing the weapon to fire two bullets at once.

JAK Limb Ripper (Attachment, Weekly Challenge)

  • Unrivaled at creating close-quarters carnage, this underbarrel chainsaw makes quick and messy work of anyone foolish enough to stand in your way.

JAK Maglift Kit (Haymaker, Weekly Challenge)

  • With a new binary trigger and reinforced magwell to accommodate the extra large .410 drum mag, this kit is a room-clearing machine.

JAK Outlaw-277 Kit (BAS-B, Weekly Challenge)

  • This Conversion Kit transforms the BAS-B into a lever-action rifle, slowing the fire rate but vastly improving accuracy for deadlier precision.

JAK Glassless Optic (Attachment, Weekly Challenge)

  • This glassless reflex optic offers a projected dot and state-of-the-art stabilization technology that reduces visual recoil while firing.

New Perk

A new Vest makes its way to Multiplayer for those of you with a silent-but-deadly playstyle.

  • Ninja Vest
  • Eliminate footstep sounds.
  • Immune to movement reduction effects.
  • Bonus Shuriken and Throwing Knife ammo.
  • Resupply Shuriken and Throwing Knives every 25 seconds.

New Operators

Legendary characters from AMC’s The Walking Dead fight alongside an old friend and not-so-familiar face.

Rick Grimes (Battle Pass)

  • A former Sheriff’s Deputy with a strong moral code, Rick is a battle-hardened survivor who will stop at nothing to protect his people.

Laswell (Battle Pass)

  • [Redacted]

John Doe (BlackCell)

  • Bound to an eternal cycle of war, some souls can never find peace.

Michonne (In-Season)

  • Michonne has endured much since the world changed, but those experiences have helped shape her into an apocalyptic warrior.

Global

Gameplay

Today’s update includes substantial adjustments to core attributes of weapons in Modern Warfare III and Warzone. Prompted by player feedback and internal review, these changes intend to improve the precision and responsiveness of aiming, particularly while using a mouse - although, these changes may be observed regardless of the input device.

ADS Idle Sway

While a player is aimed down sight, idle sway is active. This mechanic discourages players from holding their sights for an extended period of time with a constant, subtle motion that introduces slight inaccuracy.

  • ADS idle sway now initiates shortly after aiming down sight, rather than immediately, introducing a delay to the sway curve that is generally 5ms long but varies by weapon. Note: Sniper Rifles are not included in this change.
  • After the initial delay, ADS idle sway now gradually increases over a 3s period before reaching peak speed, rather than beginning at full speed upon aiming down sights. Note: Sniper Rifles are not included in this change.
  • ADS idle sway now consistently begins from the position of the player’s hipfire crosshair, rather than along the sway curve.

These changes ensure that players with fast reflexes and precise aim aren't disadvantaged the moment they aim down sights.

Hipfire Crosshair Sway

The trajectory of weapon bullets is represented by the hipfire crosshair position on the player's screen. Previously, the crosshair was influenced by the direction of the weapon, causing the firing direction to deviate from the center of the screen. Today’s changes eliminate the resulting compromise to accuracy without sacrificing the weight and reactivity this motion added.

  • Hipfire crosshair will no longer sway from the center of the screen while the player moves or rotates the camera. Note: We’re aware that certain Stock Attachments may re-introduce this behavior. This is unintentional, and we’ll correct these artifacts in future game updates.
  • Weapon bullet trajectory is now truly aligned with the hipfire crosshair, and thus, the center of the player’s screen.

These changes reward skillful aim. Simply put, where you’re aiming is where your bullets will go.

Looking Ahead

Please take some time to adjust to these changes and let us know how you feel. We’ll continue to monitor your feedback as we determine our next steps for aiming and related mechanics.
