Details for Call Of Duty Modern Warfare 3 and Call Of Duty Warzone Season 1 have been released online, detailing new maps and modes that each game will be receiving.
Call Of Duty Modern Warfare 3 will be receiving a new 6v6 multiplayer map in the form of Rio. The map, set in a shopping center in Rio de Janeiro, features multiple different locations such as a tram station, a plaza, and an indoor mall for fans to use to their advantage.
The game will also be getting a new version of Kill Confirmed that allows players to earn in-game rewards for completing tasks in a crossover with The Boys that gives players temporary superpowers, along with multiplayer ranked play that allows players to use the same settings, modes, and maps as are used in the official Call Of Duty league.
Call Of Duty Warzone is receiving a Night-Vision public event that will make surviving the Gulag much harder by getting rid of all light. Players are also given access to a new weapon case objective in the early portion of a match, and a secondary win condition named Covert Exfil that commands a high price and is only available in limited quantities, but can allow any player to leave a match early.
By winning thirty total games in a season or five consecutive matches, players will be able to start completing a newly-added quest named the Champion’s Quest which is simply described in the official Call Of Duty blog post as leading to an “extremely explosive finale”.
Finally, Call Of Duty Modern Warfare 3 Zombies will be receiving a brand new warlord named Dokkaebi who can be defeated to acquire new weapons and loot.
The new update launches on January 17 across all platforms.
NME reviewed Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, saying that “the return of Modern Warfare 2’s beloved maps will scratch a nostalgic itch for long-time Call Of Duty fans, but just about everything outside of multiplayer will leave you wondering why this is a full-price game”.
