What’s Coming in Season 3?
The company released an image teasing Season 3 for both Modern Warfare multiplayer and Warzone. The image appears to confirm the rumors of returning fan-favorite map, Backlot.
That’s not all.
Data miners also found traces of Modern Warfare 3 map, Village, in the game files. Additionally, fans can expect new Operators, weapons, game modes and a new Battle Pass.
On the weapons side, the SKS is set to make an appearance in Season 3. The SKS is a semi-automatic carbine/sniper. The SKS will most likely fall in the marksman rifle category. The Renetti is the second leaked weapon. The Renetti is a well-rounded 9mm pistol.
We may end up seeing even more weapons come as Season 3 progresses. Last season, the VLK Rogue fell through the cracks and was missed by data miners.
As far as Operators go, we can expect to encounter Alex and Ronin. Alex is featured in the Modern Warfare campaign. Ronin remains a mystery. Little is known about the identity of this particular Operator.
Free Multiplayer Weekend and Double XP
This news comes shortly after the phenomenal success of Call of Duty’s new battle royale game mode, Warzone. According to Activision, Warzone garnered over 30 million unique players in just 10 days. This new season and Battle Pass will work to further engage this massive new player base.
Until then, Infinity Ward has a few surprises to hold fans off. From April 3-6, the standard Modern Warfare multiplayer will be free to play. Additionally, fans can expect:
- Double XP
- Double Weapon XP
- 2X Tier Progression
Make sure you get out there and finish up those ranks and Season 2 Battle Pass before it’s gone!
