Two pillars of explosive action: revamped multiplayer and open-world Zombies
Multiplayer in MWIII is built to reward both memory and mastery. At launch, you’ll find 16 redesigned launch maps that revisit beloved MW2 (2009) locales, now modernized with new modes and gameplay features to sharpen strategy and execution from the moment you drop in. These maps aren’t just cleaned up; they’re reimagined for today’s competition, creating lanes, sightlines, and objective opportunities that feel both nostalgic and freshly demanding.
To keep things dynamic beyond day one, MWIII introduces over 12 all-new core 6v6 maps designed to fuel engaging seasons after launch. Expect a mix of compact arenas that test reflexes and larger layouts that reward team tactics, map control, and adaptable loadouts. This isn’t a one-and-done rotation: it’s a living battlefield that evolves with the community and the seasons, inviting you to refine your playstyle and chase new challenges.
Open-world Zombies: the biggest, boldest, co-op experience yet
For the first time in this era of Call of Duty, MWIII launches an open-world Zombies experience that invites squads to team up with other players and face massive hordes across the largest Zombies map in franchise history. MWZ delivers a fresh Treyarch Zombies story with missions, core features, and secrets that reward exploration and cooperation. It’s not just surviving; it’s navigating an evolving map, uncovering side objectives, and coordinating with teammates to push back encroaching threats in a sprawling PvE environment.
