Modern Warfare 3 is nearly here and with so much of the game’s pre-release hype being focused on Multiplayer upgrades, the hype is hitting fever-pitch levels. It’s no secret we’re in for a blast from the past with the return of Modern Warfare 2’s beloved maps.
While many of them – such as Terminal, Scrapyard, and Highrise – have been featured in more recent titles (or as Warzone POIs), more than a few have faded into the scenery of Call of Duty’s illustrious tapestry.
Longtime fans may remember them all off the top of their head, but if you’re in need of a refresher, here’s every map you’ll be touching down on in November.

All Modern Warfare 3 Launch Maps
Modern Warfare 2’s map pool was thoughtfully blended for one of the most dynamic experiences in all of multiplayer gaming. There’s a little something for everyone here.
All of the maps have received light touch-ups to make them more comfortable for the current industry standards in map design. You’ll find that the dimensions don’t lineup exactly the same, but the identity of all these maps seems to have been preserved with careful attention.
Highrise
Perhaps Modern Warfare 2’s most popular map, Highrise, brought the action to a confusing workplace setting. It was a beautiful mix of verticality, symmetrical design, and secret jump spots perfect for nuke hunting and trick-shotting.
Terminal
If Highrise is the most oft-remembered map in MW2, Terminal’s probably a close second. Zakhaev International Airport was a perfect fit for chaotic combat, especially since its initial introduction was in the highly controversial “No Russian” Campaign scene (which is also making a comeback of sorts in MW3.)
Scrapyard
Scrapyard is a quintessential Call of Duty map. It strikes a beautiful harmony between size, pace, and creativity. This smattering of open warehouse buildings bombed-out airplane shells and strikes a perfect harmony of chaos and control.
It was also home to one of the most unbelievable spawn traps in Call of Duty history, as players would post up on the short white wall outside of A-Building and collect kills en masse, no matter the game mode.
Quarry
Quarry is exactly what it sounds like – hot, dry, and full of rocks. The premise may not come off as very attractive, but the elevation battles here are like no other map in Call of Duty. Every part of the map has sneaky angles to pick up long-range kills.
Most matches here get spent fighting for control of the center building, as climbing the big ladder at its heart and taking control of the highest point on the map was an easy way to dominate
