News by Wesley Yin-Poole Deputy Editorial Director Updated on 31 Mar 2021 18 comments Call of Duty: Modern Warfare has new maps this morning, four months after Activision left the game behind to focus on Black Ops Cold War and Warzone. After downloading this morning's mammoth mid-season two update, Modern Warfare fans were surprised to see the Killhouse map added to Multiplayer alongside the new Killhouse 24/7 playlist. Watch on YouTube Eurogamer news cast: Does Sony have a responsibility to preserve its gaming history? Killhouse originally appeared in Infinity Ward's ground-breaking Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, and it was spotted in the files of 2019's Modern Warfare back in February 2020. Fans have also spotted Al-Raab Airbase (6v6) and Drainage (Gunfight) added to Modern Warfare's rotation.

It was thought dead, but today's surprise news suggests Modern Warfare hasn't yet been entirely forgotten. Fans had hoped Captain John "Soap" MacTavish would be added as a new operator to the game, since he's mentioned in Modern Warfare and heard in Warzone, but so far he's nowhere to be seen. Perhaps he'll be added as part of Warzone's upcoming nuke event. Whatever the case, Modern Warfare just got a shot in the arm. Will we see a next-gen console version come out?
