If those maps sound familiar, that’s because they’re all the original maps from Modern Warfare 2 multiplayer. However, they’ve been spruced up and given a modern makeover to help boost MW3’s MP map pool – something that was rumored by leakers and later confirmed thanks to an MW3 reveal ARG. Fans were directed to a phone number in the run-up to the MW3 reveal event and were encouraged to message this number to get teases on what’s coming in the new game.

Fans will get to relive the glory in beloved maps like Estate, Highrise, Favela, Terminal, and, of course, Rust. If you were hoping for entirely new maps where you can rain hell down on enemies, fret not, as Modern Warfare 3 will also include some brand-new maps with a twist. You’ll also get to choose what maps you play on, as Activision has confirmed map voting is returning in MW3.
