Modern Warfare 3 Season One Reloaded: Everything You Need to Know
- New 6v6 Multiplayer Map, Rio
- Three new modes, Team Gunfight, Infected, Headquarters
- The Boys LTM and Challenge Event
- Multiplayer Ranked Play
Season One Reloaded for Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone will launch on January 17, just one week from now. With that, Call of Duty have dropped a ton of information about the upcoming update, which brings the long awaited arrival of Ranked Play, a new 6v6 map and much more in-season content.
New Multiplayer Content
Multiplayer will receive a new 6v6 map along with three new modes in the Season One Reloaded update.
Call of Duty
Rio (6v6): Deploy to an upscale shopping center in Rio de Janeiro in a new medium-sized 6v6 Multiplayer map featuring a central indoor mall surrounded by Main Street, a tram station, a market, a plaza and café, and residential spaces.
Team Gunfight: Experience Gunfight on a larger scale. In this version, players compete in 6v6 across standard Multiplayer maps. As with traditional Gunfight, all players will receive the same randomized Loadout at the start of each round. This Loadout changes throughout the match.
Headquarters: Secure the Headquarters objective and hold the position as long as possible to accrue points. Dig in tight, as respawns are disabled for the defending team. The objective rotates around the map throughout the match, so be ready to change your position on the fly.
Infected: Begin the match with one player randomly assigned as the starting infected. The infected player’s goal is to eliminate and transform all the other players into infected Operators who then join their side, while the remaining survivors must use their best skills and strategies to keep the infected at bay.
The Boys LTM
The Boys are returning to Call of Duty, this time with all new operators and a new mode. Players will be able to compete in a new Supe’d Up version of Kill Confirmed inspired by the hit TV series The Boys. In this twist on the classic mode, fallen Operators drop doses of Temp V, giving temporary power boosts like Heat Vision to those who swoop in to collect them.
Call of Duty
There will also be a new event titled The Boys: Supe Siege. This event will feature six challenges with all new unlocks:
- Get one Operator Heat Vision elimination in The Boys mode (Reward: Calling Card).
- Deactivate 20 pieces of Equipment using DDoS (Reward: Emblem).
- Get four Operator eliminations using the MTZ-762 (Reward: Battle Pass Tier Skip).
- Get two Operator eliminations in a single life with the Overkill Vest equipped, five times (Reward: Large Decal).
- Get 15 Operator Akimbo eliminations (Reward: Weapon Charm).
- Get seven Operator eliminations using Lethal Equipment (Reward: Double XP Token).
Ranked Play
Ranked Play is finally here in Modern Warfare 3. Just like previous versions of Ranked Play, these matches will be 4v4 using the Call of Duty League map and ruleset. Players will begin at Rank 1, and earn starts to rank up. Your rank is permanent and will persist across seasons. However, Skill Divisions are where you show your ability, with all players starting in Bronze 1, and working their way up to Top 250.
