Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone Season 3 has been detailed
Activision has detailed Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone Season 3.
Launching on April 3 at 9am PT / 12pm ET / 5pm BST / 6pm CEST across all platforms, the update features new multiplayer, Zombies and Warzone content.
On the multiplayer front, Season 3 will include six new core 6v6 maps, with four available at launch and two arriving mid-season.
The launch maps include 6 Star, which takes place atop a high-end resort in Dubai, and Emergency, which is set around an Arizonan medical facility on the summit of a remote mountain range.
Growhouse is a re-imagined take on Sphere from Call of Duty: Vanguard which sees players fighting around a backwoods narcotics den, while Tanked takes place after hours in Vondel Zoo, cantered around the aquarium and reptile exhibits.
The mid-season maps are Grime, which is set around a derelict London canal, and Checkpoint, which is based on Rebirth Island’s Stronghold.
New game modes will include Capture the Flag at launch, One in the Chamber (launch window), and Minefield and Escort (mid-season).
Zombies is getting a new story mission, a fresh Dark Aether Rift, and a new Warlord in the form of artillery and demolitions expert Rainmaker.
Warzone Season 3’s headline addition is the return of fan favourite map Rebirth Island alongside Resurgence mode, which let players respawn as long as one of their teammates is still alive.
There’s also a brand-new training mode called Warzone Bootcamp, which takes place on the Urzikstan map.
“Call of Duty: Warzone Bootcamp is a Quad-only training mode (either partied up or fill-squad) providing players a snapshot of the real-deal Call of Duty: Warzone experience, featuring up to 20 players via mode-specific matchmaking and 24 bots to test their mettle,” according to Activision.
“Warzone Bootcamp is the only mode for Call of Duty: Warzone featuring bots. If this changes in the future, we’ll ensure the community is informed ahead of time.”
Rebirth Island was also included as a launch map for Warzone Mobile
