Additionally, Modern Warfare 3 's Shipment is replaced with Shipmas, the Christmas-themed version of the popular map, and Dome is added into Quick Play. As for broad gameplay changes, a user's crosshair now transitions directly to the center of their screen after aiming down sight, instead of easing towards it, which Sledgehammer says should improve precision and responsiveness when aiming. Season 2 Reloaded also makes a significant UI improvement by allowing users to track up to five challenges, which are displayed in-game on a user's pause menu and in the lo

However, recent changes to how the Call of Duty HQ app works have made this problem a thing of the p

To the snipers that feel left out because of Rust, fear not, for Highrise is exactly what they are after. This map is defined as a sniper’s paradise, due to the skyscrapers and high points that allow them to keep their head down, their scopes raised, and their enemies' heads in sight of their scope. Highrise has been home to plenty of infamous opportunities for some amazing kills in Call of Duty history among the gaming commun

After players complete all four rituals, the exit portal for the Aether will be marked on the eastern beach . As players make their way to the beach, the ground will begin to rumble, and rather than an extraction option presenting itself, a giant Aether Worm will appear, preventing players from exiting the Dark Aet

The update rebalances an assortment of Modern Warfare 3 weapons, including nerfs to the BP50 and BAS-B. Season 2 Reloaded also gives slight to moderate buffs to the Bruen Mk9, WSP-9, SVA 545, certain Sidewinder and RAM-9 attachments, the MTZ-762's JAK Heretic Carbine Kit, the AMR-9's JAK Ettin Double Barrel Kit, and more. Also, the XRK Stalker and KATT-AMR's aim-down-sight times are slightly reduced, making the two sniper rifles slightly more lethal.

Once ready, head to the Bad Signal story mission warp location, on the southeast corner of the border between the Medium and High Threat Areas. Interact with the portal just south of the Aether Tornado, Continued and confirm teleportation to the Dark Aether in the tac map.

This multi-tiered map may be somewhat square in design, but the difference in tall buildings and tight alleyways allows a wide range of different styles to engage in combat. The map is mostly vertical, so players will have a better time if they engage in fast-paced and close-quarter fights, but that’s not to say that snipers do not get their time in the

Veterans of COD: Zombies will recognize these seals as soul chests — classic objectives from older games that require players to kill zombies close to a chest or relic, gathering the souls of the dispatched zombies (hence, the name). If players can destroy all four seals and defeat the boss of the Dark Aether, Gorm'gant, they will complete the mission and unlock the Dark Aether Easter Egg in Modern Warfare Zombies. Here's how to do

Quarry tries to balance the best of both worlds in terms of close-range and long-range fighting. Whilst snipers may have a good view of the map, they have a few blind spots thanks to the buildings and large rock structures in the way. This leaves plenty of space for SMG users and shotgun fanatics to run around and search for their enemies to destroy in bloodlust. It’s one of the best maps in MW3 simply because of the versatility of playstyles that accommodate most, if not all, weapon ty

Deservedly seen as one of the best Call of Duty maps of all time, Terminal returns to Modern Warfare 3 (2023) with riveting acclaim. This is a rare map design, due to how perfectly everything fits together. Players can engage in this maze-like airport map, filled with discarded luggage, empty shops, and of course, a grounded and large plane, fully accessible from top to bottom, which remains a dangerous spot for campers and tr

The multiplayer component's importance cannot be underscored, however; it was a gigantic expansion of the relatively limited arrangement in the first Call of Duty , and as a result, saw swarms of players joining and hosting in its 64-player maps. Call of Duty 2 might not be the titanic multiplayer experience it once was, but many look back on it with fondn

The latest Modern Warfare 3 update mainly focuses on the campaign and multiplayer, but the game's open world Zombies mode also gets some attention. Fans of Modern Warfare 3 Zombies will be happy to know that the update has fixed an issue that caused Act 2 missions to not auto-queue while in-game, as well as an issue that caused players to crash while navigating the Zombies menus. The update has also provided "various stability and map fixes" for Modern Warfare 3 Zombies, but the patch notes stop short of providing specifics on that fr
