Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 Confirms New Maps and Modes Coming in Season 3

Activision has revealed Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3's Season 3 update, which introduces new Multiplayer maps, classic game modes, and more. The major Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 content patch is set to release on Wednesday, April 3.
In early March, Sledgehammer teased the return of Capture the Flag. Although fans might remember playing a modified version of the classic mode in Modern Warfare 2's 20v20 Big Capture the Flag, a 6v6 version has been seen in Call of Duty since 2020's Black Ops Cold War. While Sledgehammer's initial tease was a bit vague and uncertain, the mode's return is now set in stone.
On April 3, Modern Warfare 3's Season 3 update adds Capture the Flag alongside four new 6v6 Multiplayer maps. The first map, Growhouse, is a remaster of Vanguard's Sphere and takes place around a drug farm, 6 Star takes place on top of a luxurious skyscraper, Tanked is set in and around an aquarium, and Emergency is based around a government research lab. Later in Season 3, Modern Warfare 3 will receive two more 6v6 maps in Checkpoint and Grime. Just like all other Call of Duty Seasons, the update includes a battle pass with an assortment of new skins and weapon blueprints, some of which can be seen in the trailer.
In addition to Capture the Flag, Season 3 also introduces Call of Duty's classic One in the Chamber mode at launch, followed by new modes Minefield and Escort later in the Season. In case fans are unfamiliar, One in the Chamber is a free-for-all mode that gives players limited lives, a knife, and a one-shot pistol with one round that reloads after earning an elimination.
Call of Duty's Season 3 update adds three new weapons at launch in the FJX Horus SMG, MORS sniper rifle, and Gladiator melee weapon. Later on, Season 3 will introduce the BAL-27 assault rifle. Furthermore, Season 3 adds three new Perk Vests that buff secondary weapon usage, Lethal and Tactical equipment, and health regeneration. Also, two new Perks counter movement-reduction effects and buff the minimap, while the EMD Mine Tactical equipment and Enhanced Vision Goggles Field Upgrade will be added later in Season 3.
Activision also confirmed some previously leaked Call of Duty crossovers by announcing that a Snoop Dogg skin is unlockable in Season 3's battle pass, and a Cheech and Chong bundle will be added to the Store at some point during the Season. Zombies fans also have some content to look forward to later in Season 3, when the mode receives a new story mission, dart aether rift, warlord, and classified schematics.
Released in November of 2023, Activision's Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 (2023) continues Captain Price's story from the 2019 and 2022 games.
