The latest update for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone, titled Season 3 Reloaded, launched this week, heralding a significant expansion in content across both titles. Unlike typical mid-season updates, Season 3 Reloaded transcends the expectations of a mere patch, introducing an array of new features that significantly enhance and rejuvenate the player experience. This comprehensive update not only addresses gameplay tweaks and bug fixes but also injects a dynamic array of content, aimed at keeping the gameplay engaging and strategically varied.
Introduction Of New Multiplayer Modes And Maps In MW3 Season 3 Reloaded
In a bold move to revitalize multiplayer gameplay, developers have unveiled two innovative game modes: Minefield and Escort. Minefield dramatically alters the gameplay landscape by strategically placing proximity mines on the corpses of fallen players, crafting an environment rife with unpredictability and explosive moments. This mode challenges players to adopt more strategic thinking and sharp reflexes, offering a novel challenge that even veteran players will find refreshing.
On the other hand, Escort mode introduces a team-based, objective-focused challenge where players must collaborate to escort a MAW device across the map, defending it against enemy onslaughts. This mode requires a perfect blend of offensive and defensive strategies, emphasizing the importance of cohesive team dynamics and tactical planning. It’s designed to test the coordination and strategic foresight of every team member, making it a thrilling addition for those who thrive in highly strategic scenarios.
Further enhancing the multiplayer experience, two new 6v6 maps, Grime and Checkpoint, have been introduced. Grime plunges players into a graffiti-smeared dockyard in London, offering a gritty backdrop for intense, close-quarters combat. The urban chaos of this map demands quick reflexes and constant vigilance. Checkpoint, derived from the familiar environment of Rebirth Island, repurposes the terrain into a fresh battleground, emphasizing strategic positioning and tactical engagements.
Expansion In Zombies Gameplay
For enthusiasts of the Zombies mode, Season 3 Reloaded delivers substantial new content that deepens the existing narrative and gameplay complexity. The highlight is the new story mission titled Rainmaker Warlord, which immerses players in a narrative-rich backdrop filled with formidable challenges. Accompanying this are innovative schematics such as Dead Wire Detonators and Golden Mask Filters, which allow players to fine-tune their tactical approach and customize their strategies for combating the relentless undead hordes. These additions are designed to enrich the tactical depth and replayability of Zombies mode, ensuring that players have new strategies to explore and master.
Operator Packs And Customization Options
This season’s update also heralds the introduction of the Devin Booker Operator Pack, known as the “D Book Was Here Tracer Pack.” This collaboration brings the star power of NBA celebrity Devin Booker to the forefront of Call of Duty gameplay, providing players with unique customization options. Included in this pack are distinctive weapon blueprints like the “Sunrise” MTZ-762 Battle Rifle and the “Sunset” WSP-9 SMG, which not only enhance the gameplay but also allow players to showcase their personal style in the combat scenarios of Call of Duty.
Season Outlook And Future Updates
As Season 3 Reloaded unfolds, players have much to anticipate with the promise of further updates and announcements as the season progresses. The upcoming Xbox showcase, slated for June, is poised to be a pivotal event with potential revelations about Treyarch’s highly anticipated Black Ops 6. This has sparked a wave of excitement and speculation within the Call of Duty community, setting the stage for continued engagement and vibrant discussions among fans and players alike.
Season 3 Reloaded represents a pivotal moment for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone, offering a rich blend of new content that promises to keep the gameplay fresh, engaging, and strategically challenging. This update underscores the developers' commitment to evolving the game’s ecosystem, ensuring that the Call of Duty experience remains exhilarating and competitive for its global player base.
Full List Of Features In Season 3 Reloaded For Modern Warfare 3 And Warzone
With the multitude of new features introduced in Season 3 Reloaded, players are offered a renewed and enriched gaming environment. Below is a comprehensive list of all the updates and enhancements that Call of Duty enthusiasts can explore in this latest release.
New Modes: Minefield, Escort
Minefield
Watch your step in the new Minefield game mode, adding an explosive new dynamic to a variety of Multiplayer modes. In this variant, players still adhere to each mode’s basic ruleset with an important caveat: Eliminated Operators drop a Proximity Mine where they fall. The mine cannot be picked up and is deadly to the fallen Operator’s team, setting up the potential for some truly explosive combos.
As the eliminations start racking up, the action grows more intense, challenging players to watch their step while pursuing the next target.
Escort
In Escort, teams take turns escorting a MAW through the environment with the goal of hacking three points across the map. The MAW only moves forward if an attacking Operator is nearby and will move in reverse if a defending Operator closes the distance.
Matches take place over two rounds, giving each team a turn on attack and defense. The team who hacks the most points or who hacks all three points in the shortest amount of time wins the match.
Two Core 6v6 Maps: Grime, Checkpoint
Brand-New, Core, 6v6, Medium-Sized
New [Repurposed], Core, 6v6, Medium-Sized
Power Up In The Arcade Playlist
Boost your powers exponentially with the mid-season Arcade playlist, supporting a variety of maps and modes featuring powerups and special weapon pickups.
Powerups: Eliminated enemies will drop a powerup where they fall, granting one of two temporary abilities on pickup: unlimited ammo or unlimited grenades. Let loose on your foes without mundane concerns like ammo supply and grenade count.
Weapon Pickups: Bring the pain with special weapon pickups scattered throughout the environment, immediately noticeable by their glowing effects and floating animation.
These empowered weapons include the Punch Knife with a dramatically increased lunge distance, the MORS Sniper Rifle and Riveter Shotgun loaded with explosive projectile rounds, and a Minigun that provides a constant Battle Rage effect for improved health regeneration, resistance to Tactical Equipment, and a constant refresh on your Tactical Sprint.
The Vortex Playlist Returns
Redeploy to the otherworldly Vortex Playlist, which goes live again for a limited time in the mid-season. Return, if you dare, to the infected environments of Airborne, Satan’s Quarry, Skidgrow, Sporeyard, and Tetanus. Keep cool and focus on the objective in the Vortex Mosh Pit or risk losing your sanity to these twisted map variants.
New Field Upgrade And Equipment
- New Field Upgrade: Enhanced Vision Goggles
- New Tactical: EMD Mine
Modern Warfare 3 Zombies
The Next Chapter: Saving Dr. Jansen
A new anomaly strikes the Exclusion Zone as the third Dark Aether Rift appears. Dr. Jansen has been lured through its portal, and the Operators of Operation Deadbolt must now conduct a rescue mission with Ravenov’s help to get her back before it’s too late. Prepare to face off against a horde of foes in this mid-season Story Mission, including a new Disciple variant that will put your squad’s slaying skills to the test.
Seek out and attune the required relics after completing the Story Mission to re-open the Dark Aether Rift for subsequent runs. Complete the objectives within to acquire new powerful schematics.
New Schematics
Dead Wire Detonators: Electrify your blasts for massive damage using the Dead Wire Detonators, adding the Dead Wire Ammo Mod effect to all of your explosive armaments, including Lethals and Launchers. This is sure to come in handy when facing off against the Dark Aether Rift’s new Disciple variant.
Golden Mask Filter: Forget the constant search for a functioning gas mask when approaching strongholds and other areas where gas threatens to suffocate incoming Operators. Attaching the Golden Mask Filter to a gas mask causes its charge to self-regenerate over time. The mask can still break if its charge is fully used up in one go, though the filter will be reapplied to the next one you find.
Sergeant’s Beret: With the undead roaming around, you’ve got enough to worry about before taking Zakhaev’s Mercs into consideration. Don the Sergeant’s Beret to trick the faction into thinking that you’re one of their own. As a bonus, you’ll gain a Merc Bodyguard who fearlessly follows you into the action.
New Warlord: Rainmaker
Challengers of the new Warlord Rainmaker will need to plan their tactics carefully when approaching this artillery and demolitions expert. Find him in his fortress on Rahaa Island in the southeastern Urzikstan Exclusion Zone, where he’s supported by an army that he’s only too willing to expend in pursuit of annihilating Operation Deadbolt.
Expect mortar rounds and RPG fire on approach. Bring reliable transport to breach the fortress combined with long-ranged support to whittle down the enemy forces from afar. Remain cautious after breaching the walls, as the Warlord has set multiple traps to catch unsuspecting Operators. When you get to the Warlord himself, be ready to inflict maximum pain.
