Call of Duty Adds New Horror Maps & Modes to Modern Warfare 3

A chill is in the air, and it’s fear. You can sense the evil that looms over the world. The Haunting returns to Call of Duty with new horror-themed maps, making a comeback in Season 6 of Warzone and Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3. Appease your late-night horror cravings by diving into the eerie new Drive Thru Multiplayer map and facing the chilling terrors of the Mad Cow map horror variant.

The Haunting 

The Haunting has become a recurring event for Call of Duty, which adds horror-themed content around this time of year when the air is filled with a certain chill. First starting off in Call of Duty Cold War, the haunting has become a sort of tradition now for the game, with its third iteration following in MW3. New and Reworked Maps, along with themed operators and custom game modes, are being added to the game.

Hordepoint: Originally from Call of Duty: WWII, Hordepoint is back in Modern Warfare III. Capture and defend the Hardpoint while fending off both enemies and waves of zombies in this chaotic twist of a classic mode.

Arcade: Arcade mode returns, boosting Operators with abilities like enhanced jumps and Ground Slam attacks. Use power weapons like the Sledgehammer for knockback or the explosive MORS Sniper Rifle to dominate.

Infected: The classic Infected mode returns with a new twist. Infected players now must eliminate survivors with claws and throwing knives, turning them into the infected horde.

Mutation: In Mutation, players switch between humans and mutants. Humans get extra ammo and Killstreaks, while mutants choose from four unique classes:

  • Mutated Leaper: Fast movement and melee attacks with enemy detection.
  • Radioactive Beast: Enhances allies’ health and speed, revealing nearby enemies.
  • Contaminated Sludger: Slows enemies with acid blasts and can explode in mutant sludge.
  • Camouflaged Sneaker: Turns partially invisible, stunning foes with an energy projectile.
