Modern Warfare 3 features an impressive range of maps, including classics from past games and fresh designs that offer an entirely new experience.
After previous entries featured smaller and smaller launch map pools, Modern Warfare 3 changed that by having one of the series’ largest map pools to date.
As well as classic launch maps, Sledgehammer Games has also introduced new core multiplayer maps every season, plus the occasional Gunfight map to keep things interesting.
With fresh MW3 maps every season, it can be tricky to keep on top of what’s available, but we’ve got you covered with all the details below, breaking down every map available in Season 6.
