Then, three years later,Modern Warfare 2brought us what was dubbedWarzone 2.0, with a brand new map, engine & more, completely changing the game.

While the newest Warzone effort has had a mixed reception from old and new players alike, it still has a huge player base that want to know everything that’s happening with it. So how exactly will Modern Warfare 3 impact the game?

With both the last two Modern Warfare games bringing Warzone or Warzone 2.0, you would be forgiven for assuming thatModern Warfare 3might bring about Warzone 3.0, or some other major change to the game.

While that can’t be completely written off, with no real details of the upcoming title available yet, leaks have suggested that a new map will be arriving in the game, pointing towards it not being a whole new experience entirely but instead, just a new area for players to traverse.
