Modern Warfare 3 To Welcome MW2 Maps Post-Launch

Nonetheless, the question of whether MW2 maps will transition to MW3 has been a topic of ongoing speculation. On October 31, Activision put an end to the suspense with an official announcement in a blog post outlining MW3's post-launch multiplayer content plans. This exciting development confirms that Modern Warfare maps will indeed make their way into MW3 throughout the post-launch seasons. The initial offering includes four maps, such as Farm 18, Mercado, and Shoot House, all accessible through a dedicated playlist. While a specific release date wasn't provided, the gaming community can look forward to these classic MW2 maps soon becoming part of the MW3 battlefield.

It's important to note that the MW2 maps being added to Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 won't be included in the 12 maps originally planned for MW3's live seasons. This means players can anticipate an even wider selection of maps for their multiplayer experience. What's particularly fascinating is how these iconic MW2 maps will fit into the gameplay of MW3. The developers explain that while the maps will retain their visual style from MW2, the advancements in movement and general gameplay mechanics in MW3 may provide players with a distinctive and fresh gaming experience.

This is undeniably a highly anticipated and welcome development for fans of the franchise. It's also worth mentioning that just a few days ago, Activision announced an update to its Ricochet Anti-Cheat system, aimed at countering cheating in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, with the goal of fostering a fair and balanced gaming environment.
