across all platforms for all Modern Warfare and
Warzone players, with additional challenges and playlists
released weekly. Players that own the full version of Modern
Warfare will have additional access to new multiplayer maps,
along with weekly playlist updates.
- New Multiplayer Maps:
- Talsik Backlot is a high-octane, reimagined, classic 6v6
three-lane map from Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare. In this
deserted urban area of Urzikstan, look for a mix of close quarters
combat and long-range sniper duels.
- Hovec Sawmill is an all-new 6v6 map tucked away in the
mountains of Kastovia. Operators will fight atop rooftops and a
rolling river in three-lane firefights featuring mid-to-long-range
sightlines.
- Aniyah Incursion is a 6v6 twist on the lavish, yet
war-torn Aniyah Palace players have set foot in Ground War and
10v10 in Modern Warfare. Now, players can choose to take advantage
of the long sightlines afforded, along with the small crawl spaces
within the Palace to flank enemies.
- Coming later this season is Hardhat, an additional
remastered 6v6 multiplayer map from Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare
along with Aisle 9, a brand new 2v2 Gunfight map.
- New Multiplayer Playlists:
- Throughout Season Three, players can also join the fight in new
game modes including Gun Game Reloaded and Reinfected
Ground War.
Free-to-play, free for everyone Warzone sees its first
full season of free, new content coming in Season Three. All
Warzone players regardless if they own Modern Warfare
or not, will be able to jump into new experiences and enjoy new,
free content across the massive 150-player Warzone.
- Quads are now available in Battle Royale and Plunder, allowing
friends to team up in a squad of four to put their teamwork to the
test in a battle for all-out survival.
- Later this season additional playlists for Battle Royale and
Plunder that limit the pools to specific weapon types and feature
high action modes such as Scopes and Scatter Guns.
- New weapons and blueprints in Supply Boxes and Ground Loot will
be introduced throughout the season, along with a robust calendar
of XP events, free content, holiday celebrations and more for all
players.
Call of Duty: Warzone is available for free download. The
full version of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare is not
required to play Warzone.
The Battle Pass also gets a recharge with all-new Season Three
content and is chock-full with 100 tiers of exciting new items and
challenges to unlock and use across both Modern Warfare and
Warzone. Continuing Call of Duty’s release of free content
to the Modern Warfare Universe, all players will be able to
earn free tiers, including free COD Points which can be used in the
store or toward Battle Pass purchases. All players can also earn
two new functional weapons, the hard-hitting and agile SKS marksman
rifle with vast gunsmithing options and the well-rounded Renetti
handgun with a variety of attachments for free just by playing.
Plus, those who purchase the Battle Pass will instantly unlock
Alex, the courageous CIA Operator from the Modern Warfare
campaign. In Season Three, Lieutenant Simon “Ghost” Riley has
tapped Captain Price for additional backup, bringing CIA Operative
Alex back into action to Verdansk to join the fight to play across
Multiplayer and Warzone.
The Season Three Battle Pass also includes: new vehicle skins,
Riley the dog’s finishing move, Tomogunchi Black and dozens of
Weapon Blueprints, Operator Skins, cosmetics, XP tokens, COD points
and more. Fans that want to accelerate their progress and reap the
rewards faster, can buy the Battle Pass bundle which includes 20
