As spotted byCharlie Intel on Twitter, Activision has teased that all 16 multiplayer maps fromModern Warfare 2 (2009)could be featured in the game.
The post states: “If you text each map’s name, it’ll send confirmation back”, and this is confirmed with a screenshot revealing pinned locations for all the maps from one of the more well-revered entries in the series. This includes Highrise, Terminal, Rust, Underpass, Wasteland, Quarry, Favela, and Rundown just to name a few.

Should this come to fruition on day one, then you’ll have a ton of multiplayer maps to choose from, many of which haven’t been seen in well over a decade. The previous title in the long-running shooter franchise,Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, didn’t feature the maps of its namesake predecessor, instead doing original multiplayer maps and spiritual successors to classic arenas.
It all goes back to theCall of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Remasteredcampaign which launched back in 2020 for theXbox One,PS4, and PC. While a faithful upgrade to the 2009 original’s story mode for then-current consoles, it was missing all the multiplayer maps which made that title a landmark release at the time. This omission seemed odd considering thatCall of Duty: Modern Warfare Remasteredincluded a multiplayer component when it was released four years prior.
Whether all these classic maps will be announced or not remains to be seen, but we’ll find out everything with the officialCall of Duty: Modern Warfare 3reveal eventwhich is scheduled later today at 10:30 AM PST / 1:30 PM ET / 6:30 PM BST. We’ve already had theMakarov reveal trailer, which indicates the game will follow the broad strokes of the 2011 title’s plot points.
