Modern Warfare 3 's newest update allows previously banned weapons like the BP50, Holger 556, HRM-9, and others to be equipped in Ranked Play until April 23. Feedback and data will determine whether the weapons remain unbanned. As for balance changes, both MW3 and Warzone saw the same adjustments to six weapons. Slight buffs were applied to the MTZ-556, Holger 556, Striker, and MW2 's M16. A slight nerf was applied to the RAM-9 and a more significant nerf was applied to the WSP Swarm, which had its flinch resistance decreased by 81%. Also, the Haymaker's JAK Maglift Kit was nerfed in MW3 only and a common bug causing the MORS sniper rifle's optics to become misaligned was fi
Modern Warfare Zombies brings back some of the best features of Call of Duty: Zombies introduced in Call of Duty Black Ops: Cold War's Outbreak mode. Expanding on the objective focus of Cold War's Outbreak, Modern Warfare Zombies will require players to complete contracts in the infected mission area to earn essence, unlock rewards, and complete missions across several acts of sto
Call of Duty takes players across a wide range of settings, from the historical battlefields of World War II to the modern era. With each title exploring both fictional and historical conflicts, it's only natural that the series also features a diverse roster of maps for players to play
Call of Duty offers a variety of battlegrounds, from large-scale Battle Royale maps to smaller, more confined Multiplayer arenas. While many maps fit seamlessly into the game they’re featured in, some stand out as particularly unusual. With that in mind, here are some of the strangest maps in the Call of Duty franch
With the map consisting of just one lane and the fact that players can move across it incredibly quickly, Bullet may be one of the most chaotic maps in Call of Duty history. However, players aren’t necessarily confined to the train’s interior, as they can also take to the roof for epic, high-speed gunfights. With predictable spawn points and an overall claustrophobic feel, Bullet is an ideal map for camo grinding —but it also cements itself as one of the weirdest maps to d
Continuing the trend of wacky Black Ops 3 maps is Outlaw , which debuted with the Salvation DLC. Outlaw is essentially a reimagining of Standoff from Black Ops 2 , but this time set in an old Western town, complete with saloons, hay bales, and various other landmarks reminiscent of classic Western fi
Next up is Ruins , a Core Multiplayer map that arrived alongside Behemoth, Collision, and Unearthed as part of Devastation— the second major DLC for Call of Duty: Ghosts . The map takes place in the ruins of a Mayan temple, surrounded by a mountaintop jungle. While this location is certainly unique, what truly sets Ruins apart from most other maps in the Call of Duty franchise is its inclusion of a unique crossov
Call of Duty 's next major update is expected to arrive with Season 3 Reloaded in early May. As for the franchise's future, a dataminer recently claimed to reveal many of the weapons, killstreaks, and equipment coming in Call of Duty 2024 , including the potential return of the Last Stand pe
After players grab the contract phone for Defend Ground Control, players will have to search the area for three seismic refractors . They will be marked for players with blue indicators - head to each location and interact with the refractors to turn them
Just like the Holdout challenge, players will be forced to occupy an area infested with aetherium crystals and hold the line against advancing foes - but this time, players will not be inside a building with boarded windows that keep the zombies out. Players will have to operate in the open area, evading and eliminating the horde until the PND device can charge up and detonate the shockw
Infection is set on a World War II battlefield , though there is some debate over whether it takes place in France or Belgium, as the map’s description and various in-game assets suggest both evidence locations Ready or Not. Regardless, its historical setting feels out of place in a futuristic title like Black Ops 3 . However, what makes Infection truly bizarre is the second battlefield attached to it—one that has been completely flipped on its head, resembling a scene straight out of Inception . This 'wall,' as some refer to it, is the map Carentan from the original Call of Duty , serving as a neat Easter egg for longtime fans of the ser
Number 3 on the list is the MTZ Interceptor . It is rated so highly due to its ability to shut down any enemy attack within seconds. This rifle uses the trusty 7.62 ammo rounds, making it great for long-range gunfights. The MTZ has great accuracy, which mixed with its recoil control makes it a must-have wea
Kar98k is the only weapon here that is capable of keeping its effective shots in ranges above 50 meters. When the weapon was first deployed into Modern Warfare 3, it was an absolute beast, until Sledgehammer Games nerfed its damage rate as well as bullet veloc
