Meet the Maps

Season Three brings THREE unique Multiplayer maps to the fight. This weekend, experience them all!

Season Three Maps

Aniyah Incursion

Aniyah Incursion

 Aniyah Incursion is a smaller, 6v6 version of its massive, palatial cousin. Here, combat is contained to the central palace atrium and courtyard, for a tight, close-quarters fight.

From our tactical map guide: “Aniyah Incursion rewards all styles of play, from CQB loadouts shooting it out in the palace to sharpshooters exchanging shots over and through the streets. Success goes to the Operators who can best navigate the royal terrain and outflank the opposition.”

For full gameplay tips, including an illustrated guide to each map zone and information about objective locations, read our official guide here.

Hovec Sawmill

This brand-new Season Three map is set in a sleepy Kastovian mountain town. Despite the quaint surroundings, there is a crisis: the central sawmill building has caught fire. Fight through the burning wreckage, and between shops in the village square. If you pass the beekeeper’s, watch out for live hives!

From our tactical map guide: “Although this humble town is beautiful….Sawmill is a dangerous 6v6 map with opportunities for all playstyles to shine. Here, you can expect everything from cross-map sightlines to rooftop engagements and interior skirmishes, with objective game modes forcing players into chaotic battles while surrounded by gorgeous scenery.”

Talsik Backlot

Based on an iconic map from Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, Talsik Backlot features the fan-favorite, multi-story combat and sprawling village lanes beloved by players for years.

Now set in an empty Urzikstani city, ‘Talsik Backlot’ features a massive but abandoned construction project at its center. Expect dense, door-to-door combat as teams fight to control overlooks, rooftops, and buildings.

From our tactical map guide: “[A] construction company’s latest project is now idle in the middle of Urzikstan due to the growing conflict….Talsik Backlot is a medium sized, building dense map that is suited for 6v6 playlists. The diversity of zones within this map opens the opportunity for all playstyles to be viable. “

Even More Maps

The Multiplayer Free Access Weekend scales up the fun, adding two more maps that made their debut in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare.

Khandor Hideout

This isolated desert compound is no retreat, that’s for sure. ‘Khandor Hideout’ features a central safehouse, made for high-speed, face-to-face fights. Outside, the long outdoor lanes create ample sightlines, making it relatively easy to scan for movement.

From our tactical map guide: “Set in the middle of a desert, this medium-sized map is built for frenetic and competitive action, no matter what kind of loadout you use….[It’s a] three-lane style map that contains long sightlines along with dense interiors, allowing for a variety of combat situations to take place.”

Shoot House

One of Modern Warfare’s ultimate crowd-pleasers, the ‘Shoot House’ map has been an instant classic since its debut. Every playstyle has a place here: from the stealthy soldier with Dead Silence and a Combat Knife, to the eagle-eyed sniper with the Focus perk and a Thermal Optic.

From our tactical map guide: ‘One of the smallest maps for 6v6 play, Shoot House represents a traditional three-lane, fast-paced design that encourages frenetic engagements and high-octane battles….The map is divided into thirds, with two yellow catwalks acting as the viewing platforms for higher ranking officers to see how their Operators run the course.’

Time for a Refresh! General Multiplayer Tips

Totally new to Modern Warfare Multiplayer modes? First, learn about the core game modes in a Modern Warfare Moshpit before you hop into a Multiplayer match.

Team Deathmatch: Straightforward, but deadly. Teams of six go toe-to-toe to collect the most kills. The manner of death doesn’t matter, so shoot, launch, and toss grenades to your hearts’ content. The first team to reach 70 kills takes the victory!

Kill Confirmed: Team Deathmatch gets a high-stakes twist, where killed players drop dog tags. Collect teammates’ dog tags to deny your enemies’ kills and pick up your enemies’ dog tags to earn points for your team. The first team to earn 70 points (collect 70 dog tags), also collects the W.

Domination: Three flags are set on the map, each in a static location. Players compete to “capture” each flag for their team by occupying the flag zone for 10 seconds. Flags can be highly contested and captured often, especially on smaller maps. Always check your six.

Hardpoint: Like Domination, players must “capture” a location. However, instead of a flag, the objective is a rotating map zone, or ‘hardpoint,’ that moves to a different area every 45 seconds. Hold down the hardpoint and get a point for every second your team occupies it. If members of both teams are in the hardpoint, the zone becomes contested and no one scores. First team to 250 points wins.

Headquarters: Similar to Hardpoint, teams rush to “capture” a rotating objective – the headquarters. Capture and hold the headquarters to earn points for your team. The team the holds the HQ doesn’t respawn. The first team to 200 points wins.

PLUS: This weekend is the perfect opportunity to experiment with Killstreaks, perks, and Field Upgrades at a deeper level. Get to know these loadout components as you deploy them in Multiplayer, and you’ll soon handle them with ease in Warzone. Use this weekend to become a Cluster Strike master, an ‘Overkill’ perk powerhouse, or a badass boss with a ‘Deployable Barrier.’
