A nostalgic return🎮
Sledgehammer Games, the developer behind MW3, seems to have taken the decision to immerse players in a wave of nostalgia. The majority of these maps are taken from Modern Warfare 2 (2009). Fans will be able to relive their favourite moments on iconic maps such as Estate, Highrise, Favela, Terminal and, of course, Rust. Yes, Rust, you know, where everything was settled in 1vs1 no scope.
However, although these maps are familiar to us geeks, we expect them to have a new look. They will be remastered to fit seamlessly into MW3’s graphical environment.
Coming soon
While some were hoping to see all the new maps, there’s a good chance that Modern Warfare 3 will also include some never-before-seen maps. What’s more, a map voting system, already present in previous installments, could be making a comeback, although Activision has yet to confirm this feature.
With the official reveal date set for today directly in Warzone, the community is in an uproar. Excitement is running high and fans are eager to find out more about what MW3 has to offer. Activision’s strategy of rekindling nostalgia by reintroducing maps from previous opuses seems to be working perfectly. Stay tuned for more information following the official reveal!
