‘Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare’ Season 3 Is Live: Here’s What To Expect

Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare is now live, with the update scheduled to begin at 11 pm PT on April 7th / 2 am ET April 8th.

The middle-of-the-night launch is nice as it allows the game to download while players are sleeping. We can get right to playing Wednesday morning—at least those of us in lock-down or quarantine thanks to the coronavirus epidemic.

The new seasons brings a number of updates and changes to the game (we’ll have full patch notes tomorrow) as well as new maps, modes and a new Season 3 Battle Pass that includes a new Operator, Alex from the single-player campaign. (Turns out he wasn’t dead after all!)

Here’s what to expect from the new season in Modern Warfare multiplayer and Warzone.

Warzone’s biggest update is the new Quads mode.

Now you’ll be able to play in teams of four instead of just Trios and Solo. This applies to both Battle Royale and Plunder modes.

There will also be new ground loot and various special limited-time modes throughout the season.

In multiplayer, there are three new maps coming to the game.

Talsik Backlot is a remake of the classic Backlot map.
Hovec Sawmill is a three-lane 6vs6 map set in a sleepy village.
Aniyah Incursion is a smaller version of Aniyah Palace designed for 6vs6 gameplay.

Some of the new content in the Battle Pass includes two free weapons at Tiers 15 and 31: the Renetti handgun and the SKS marksman rifle.

There are also vehicle skins coming to the game, as well as new “mil-sim” skins for Operators based off of various military forces around the world. You’ll unlock the U.S. Expeditionary Force (Tier 10), the South Korean Special Forces (Tier 30), Pararescue (Tier 50), and the Counter Terrorist Special Police Force.

As soon as the game updates you’ll be able to hop in and play both MP and Warzone (which is free). The Battle Pass only needs to be purchased once to get rewards for both modes.
