Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone Season 3 is just around the corner and there’s a lot in store for multiplayer fans. Six core 6v6 maps will drop during the season, perfect for the reintroduction of the Capture the Flag mode.

Activision acknowledge that Capture the Flag is an “often-requested objective game mode” among fans. Although it has featured in many past Call of Duty titles, players haven’t exactly got to play it in the traditional sense for quite some time.
