Modern Warfare III Brings Back Iconic Maps
Call of Duty, one of the gaming world’s most legendary franchises, is approaching its 20th anniversary.

Previously announced, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare® III is set to launch with meticulously crafted, modernized versions of these 16 Core Modern Warfare 2 (2009) maps. The aim is clear: to maintain the authenticity and accuracy of the originals while harnessing the power of modern technology.

In the video above, Matt enthusiastically explains that the excitement of faithfully modernizing these 16 seminal multiplayer maps was palpable. Sledgehammer Games’ designers were passionately involved, each one taking ownership of bringing one of the Modern Warfare 2 (2009) maps back to life in Modern Warfare III.
Matt emphasizes the importance of providing players with a fresh perspective on these classic maps. The team asked themselves, “What made the movement and gunplay of older games so enjoyable? And what innovations from newer games can we incorporate?” It was all about finding the perfect marriage between old-school charm and modern gaming dynamics.
