Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 Ranked Play Getting New Maps Soon
22.03.2024 - 21:53 / gamerant.com / John DiCarlo
Treyarch has confirmed that Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3's Ranked Play will receive two new maps, Vista and Departures, on March 25. Community feedback will determine whether they are added to the map pool of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3's professional circuit.
The last change to Ranked Play came on March 13, when Call of Duty removed the JAK Glassless Optic from the mode. The same update also adjusted Hardpoint spawns on Skidrow, which aimed to decrease the chances of a spawn flip. Before that update, back in early February, Ranked Play added one of Season 1's post-launch maps in Rio. It seems that Call of Duty is continuing this trend to help bolster the mode's map rotation.
In a post made to Treyarch's Twitter account, the developer confirmed that the two new maps will arrive in Ranked Play on Monday, March 25. Vista and Departures will be added to all game modes within Ranked, meaning users will see them while playing Hardpoint, Control, and Search and Destroy. To help Treyarch determine whether to add the two maps to the Call of Duty League's official map pool, the studio encouraged users to share their feedback once they are introduced. This can be done through Twitter by using the MW3RankedPlay hashtag.
If the maps are received well, it seems likely that they could replace less popular ones like Invasion and Terminal in certain modes. For now, that's it for new Ranked Play news, but Call of Duty fans received another promising update today that finally nerfed the controversial Longbow sniper rifle. Its aim assist was adjusted to match other sniper rifles and its incoming flinch was increased to help enemies counter the weapon in close quarters. The BAS-B's recently added JAK Outlaw-277 conversion kit was also re-balanced.
Recently, Sledgehammer teased the potential return of Capture the Flag, a mode that almost everyone is probably familiar with. Fans might remember that Capture the Flag was featured in Black Ops 2's League Play, Call of Duty's first-ever ranked mode. While it was a popular mode in Treyarch's original, innovative system, it seems unlikely that it would return to the modern Call of Duty competitive scene. Also, it's important to note that Capture the Flag's return is still unconfirmed.
In the meantime, fans subscribed to Amazon Prime can claim the service's newest free Call of Duty bundle. Prime members can claim it until April 25, which includes two weapon blueprints and more.
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.
