Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Players Debate Whether a 15…

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 players have been debating whether a 15-year-old fan favorite map should return to the game. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 has plenty of inspiration to take from the franchise's past, and bringing back this map would certainly be a popular decision.

The release of Season 2 for the game unfortunately didn't see this map return. The game has faced criticism as of late, with it being some time since Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 received a new 6v6 map. There definitely has to be a balance, as too many maps can overflow the game with content that many players won't get to experience.

The map being requested to return is Crash, which first appeared in 2007's Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare. The thread was made by Redditor sul_malik, and many players were in agreement about the issue. The map pool of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 has faced a lot of criticism, and bringing back an old favorite would be an easy way for Infinity Ward to win players back. Reports suggest that the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 player count has dropped dramatically in recent months, and Infinity Ward will be looking at every way to sort it out before it becomes a bigger issue for the franchise.

Others in the thread took the opportunity to share their opinions on the best Call of Duty maps, to see what should return in a future content drop. Popular requests include Favela, Highrise, and Estate, all of which haven't made many appearances since their debuts. It makes sense that players would want to see other maps given a chance to return instead. Crash was already remade for 2009's Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, and gamers have even had it recently as part of an update for 2019's Call of Duty: Modern Warfare reboot.

While it's unknown right now if Crash will ever return to the game, it's safe to assume that there's a good chance. Infinity Ward has a habit of bringing back old maps, with the classic location Shipment being a fan favorite in the new Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. The approach isn't for everyone - there are plenty of players who want innovation and change, while others just want to jump into old favorites. It's a difficult balancing act that Infinity Ward faces, but one that it has usually done well at over the years. With Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Season 3 upcoming, fans will be keeping an eye out for any returning maps.
