Game Update: Call of Duty Season 3

Activision have announced new details for the upcoming launch of Season 3 for Call of Duty Modern Warfare II and Call of Duty Warzone 2.0, including new operators, guns and much more.

Here is just a quick overview of what is coming in this new season:

- New Operators: Alex and Ronin join the fight as playable characters in both multiplayer and Warzone modes. Alex is a CIA operative who faked his death in the campaign, while Ronin is a former Special Forces soldier who now works as a mercenary.

- New Maps: Three new maps are added to the multiplayer rotation: Talsik Backlot, a remake of the classic map from Call of Duty 4; Hovec Sawmill, a rural village with a burning sawmill; and Aniyah Incursion, a smaller version of the palace map from Ground War.

- New Weapons: Two new weapons are available for free in the Battle Pass: the SKS, a semi-automatic marksman rifle; and the Renetti, a burst-fire pistol. You can also unlock new blueprints, skins, and charms for your weapons as you progress through the tiers.

- New Modes: Season 3 introduces some new modes to spice up the gameplay. In multiplayer, you can try out Scopes and Scatter Guns, a mode that limits your loadout to snipers and shotguns. In Warzone, you can play Quads, a mode that lets you team up with three other players in the massive battle royale map.

- New Challenges: Season 3 also brings new challenges for both multiplayer and Warzone. You can earn XP, rewards, and bragging rights by completing missions such as getting kills with specific weapons, winning matches in certain modes, or surviving in Warzone.

There's a lot more to discover in Season 3 of Call of Duty Modern Warfare, so don't miss out on the action.

For those who prefer their battles more like a Warzone, then the additions in 2.0 will be a welcome sight. Again like above, here is a brief overview of the content coming in the new season.

- New Modes:

  • Massive Resurgence (Launch): Massive Resurgence is coming to Al Mazrah; taking place across the entire map, this mode features a higher player count to better fit the playing field.

  • Plunder (In-Season): Eliminate enemy Operators, scavenge Supply Boxes, complete contracts and in-game events, and search out loose Cash. In Plunder, it’s all about who can get the richest, quickest. Respawns are enabled and Loadouts are available from the start so you can get right to the money on deployment.

- New Features:

  • Al Mazrah Redeploy Drones (Launch): The Redeploy Drones currently flying over Ashika Island are making their way to Al Mazrah. Use their power to launch toward your next target objective.

  • UAV Towers (Launch): Sweep the surrounding area for enemy positions using the new UAV Towers, first discovered in DMZ and coming soon to Battle Royale. Note that activating the tower alerts enemy squads, so be ready.

  • Tempered Plate Carriers (In-Season): Tempered Plate Carriers require fewer Armor Plates to fill, so replating is speedier and more efficient.

  • Decontamination Station (In-Season): Gas closing in fast? Set down this Field Upgrade, which provides a safe atmosphere within the gas that lasts several seconds. This is a vital strategy in surviving the final circle collapse.

  • Perk Package Items (In-Season): Players who prefer looting up in the environment instead of calling in a Loadout Drop will now have a means of securing Perks with preset Perk Packages found in Supply Boxes and at Buy Stations.

  • Deployable Buy Station (In-Season): Even in the farthest reaches of the map, you can still buy the necessary items by activating the Deployable Buy Station. This portable version features limited stock.

  • Gulag Entry Kit (In-Season): Eliminated again? You’re not out of luck yet. Operators with a Gulag Entry Kit on hand can battle in the Gulag for a second time for another chance to return to the field.

A full breakdown and I do mean full, can be found on the official site and there is a lot to see.
