Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III’s Season 1 Update
You might have noticed that Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III has faced criticism from gamers and critics due to the amount of recycled content. However, the good news is that there’s fresh content on the way that could win back players. In a recent sneak peek, Activision revealed what’s coming in the game’s first season update, including new multiplayer maps, zombie mode upgrades, and a fresh Warzone battle royale map with various gameplay enhancements.
New Multiplayer Maps
The update will include three new 6v6 maps, with two available on launch day: Meat, set in a slaughterhouse, and Greece, modeled after a coastal Mediterranean town. A third brand new 6v6 map called Rio will come later in the season. The Gunfight 2v2 mode will also be added with the new Training Facility map, which includes “a central shoot house and plentiful climbing opportunities.”
Zombie Mode Upgrades
On the Zombies side, players will be able to enter Dark Aether Rifts that provide a “sinister and chaotic challenge.” A new Wonder Weapon called the Friend Zone will “transform enemies, Zombie or Human, into loyal allies.”
Warzone Update
Season 1 will bring a new Warzone map called Urzikstan that incorporates 11 major points of interest. The update will also include Modern Warfare III movement mechanics like slide canceling and tac stance.
Release Date and Accessibility
There’s no release date yet for the Season 1 update, but it will be available for free for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III owners. Given the initial lukewarm reception, Activision may be aiming to release the update sooner rather than later.
