Modern Warfare 3 features an impressive range of maps including classics from past games and fresh designs that offer an entirely new experience.

After previous entries featured smaller and smaller launch map pools, Modern Warfare 3 changed that by having one of the series’ largest map pools to date.

As well as classic launch maps, Sledgehammer Games has also introduced new core multiplayer maps every season, plus the occasional Gunfight map to keep things interesting.

With fresh MW3 maps every season it can be tricky to keep on top of what’s available, but we’ve got you covered with all the details below.

All MW3 multiplayer maps

On launch, all 16 maps from the original Modern Warfare 2 (2009) made their way into Modern Warfare 3. These have all been fully remasted in the new game engine.

Later seasons have since added many more new maps to multiplayer’s various game modes, ensuring MW3 has one of the most diverse map pools in Call of Duty history.
