Note: Warzone information will be announced on November 2nd.
Modern Warfare 4 Season 1 Multiplayer Maps:
Backstab (Launch)
Brand-New, 6v6, Medium-Sized
Trek through the fallen snow of this war-torn town, where abandoned tanks litter the landscape and drone ordinance line the shelves of a deserted dwelling. Fight in the streets where long-ranged sightlines reign or head inside the open buildings for a closer battle.
On the ground, use the buildings and outer walls to control your sightlines. For a greater view, look to the map’s several vantage points, including the roof of the Stronghold House and the upper levels of the Sniper House, Grandpa’s House, and the Destroyed Building. Throughout the area, blasted walls create interesting flank routes. Use everything on hand to secure the win and then get out of this frostbitten battleground.
Canyon (Launch)
Brand-New, 6v6, Medium-Sized
Turn up the heat in the sun-scorched terrain of Canyon as towering rock walls trap in the chaos below. Try your luck along the River near the site of the Convoy Ambush or take the Cliff Path for its rugged vistas and winding pathways. Featuring wide open spaces interspersed with massive natural boundaries, you’ll have to time your movements to avoid getting caught without cover.
Head into the northern Cave to cool off in the shade, leading to an Abandoned Shack where hidden Operators can ambush passing enemies. Look for opportunities throughout to climb up to a higher vantage point, including small shelves and platforms as well as the central Mesa giving views toward both ends of the map.
Shoot House (Launch)
Reimagined, 6v6, Medium-Sized
Redeploy to Shoot House using the new combat and movement systems of Modern Warfare 4. While veterans of the map will instantly recognize the layout, the setting is reimagined against the rugged terrain of North Korea during a light snowfall.
Shoot House consists of three primary lanes: Fight across the southern Junkyard, through the tunnels leading toward the Center, or over and around the northern Containers. Operators seeking a dominant view will need to fight for control of the overhead Hospital and Apartment. Whichever path you take, there are plenty of interconnected routes between them, giving the savvy Operator a wide array of tactics throughout.
Season 1: Reloaded: Mid-Season Maps
Ministry: Battle erupts at the Global Peace Summit, causing damage to an embassy as Operator fight in and around the building.On this diplomatic summit, only the most aggressive policies can win.
Overflow: A convoy of mobile rocket launchers fire their projectiles in the distance on this map centered around a factory and its surrounding farmland.
Additional Maps: Expect fierce firefights across additional, remarkable locations at mid-season, and intel dropping during the Season 1 Reloaded comms.
Featured Kill Block Combo: Crash
It’s helicopter down as a new featured Kill Block combo arrives for Season 1. When deploying to this map, all three slabs remain static, and do not change between rounds. This set of three slabs were hand-picked by Infinity Ward based on the most popular combinations from the MW4 Beta. This also means this Crash combo is added to a variety of other playlists throughout the Core Multiplayer Modes, including Search and Destroy.
In Case You Missed It: Shipment
Remaster, 6v6, Small-Sized
Shipment is back! In this remastered version, the iconic map is set on a Russian harbor, hemmed in between the water and the concrete panel buildings making up the urban landscape around it. The map itself is true to form with a classic layout and appearance that players will be right at home with, enhanced by Modern Warfare 4’s visual and gameplay improvements.
Released as part of the Preseason offering shortly after launch, Shipment is now available to play. Brave the chaos and use its relentless pace of engagements to level up those crucial early Weapon ranks, so you’re ready to go when the Season 1 Multiplayer maps arrive.
