Infinity Ward has also promised a "continuous overhaul" to Warzone's pool of ground loot to keep strategies fresh for regular players, while teasing new modes like "‘Scopes and Scatter Guns", alongside more surprises on the way.
As for multiplayer, Modern Warfare season 3 adds three new 6v6 maps to Call of Duty's traditional PvP (Talsik Backlot, Hovec Sawmill, and Aniyah Incursion) alongside two additional weapons available to unlock in player's arsenal - semi-auto pistol the Renetti, and a lightweight carbine called the SKS.
