MW3 players slam map variety as fan-favorites go missing

As a devoted fan of Modern Warfare 3 and someone who has spent countless hours navigating its intricate multiplayer maps, I must confess that I find myself growing increasingly disheartened by the current rotation. The nostalgia of revisiting classic maps like Karachi, Wasteland, and Derail has been tainted by the seemingly endless cycle of variants such as Celship and Toonoxide.


In MW3, there’s a wealth of multiplayer maps, yet some users argue that the playlist has been disrupted due to variations and insufficient diversity.

Although the game features all the classic maps from Modern Warfare 2 (MW2) 2009, along with additional ones introduced through regular updates, it appears that the map selection in the rotation lacks significant diversity.

It’s quite puzzling to me that I rarely play maps like Karachi, Wasteland, and Derail even though I usually choose Quick Play, as if they’re not appearing in my game rotation.

In simple terms, the recent additions of Celship and Toonoxide maps have increased the likelihood that you’ll encounter these maps during a pre-match vote, effectively doubling their occurrence.

As a long-time gamer with over two decades of experience under my belt, I must say that the choice presented to me between Rust and Toonoxide was, without a doubt, one of the most challenging decisions I have ever had to make in my gaming life. With each game offering unique, captivating experiences, it felt like choosing between two equally alluring paths that would lead to vastly different outcomes.

For me this is the worst map vote I can think of. Where’s the rest of the maps, I’m sure some I haven’t played in months

The player inquired, “Where can I find the remaining maps? It’s likely I haven’t played some for months.” One suggestion was made to include a third “Random Map” option similar to those found in past Call of Duty games, to avoid such circumstances.

In a separate post, user ‘Lumenprotoplasma’ expresses an identical thought: they feel that classic MW2 2009 maps like “Wasteland,” “Derail,” and “Estate” have vanished from the game, leaving only “Scrapyard,” “Rust,” and “Afghan” as the remaining options.

Another statement being made is that Quick Play has reportedly been transformed into a Small Map Rotation playlist, suggesting there’s an increased focus on smaller maps rather than medium or large ones.

The Quick Play map rotation doesn’t make any sense.

One remark found it extremely frustrating, expressing a desire for diversity in map sizes, ranging from large to small. However, instead, the Modern Warfare 3 player playfully complained that they’re only receiving seventeen iterations of rust and shipment maps.

It’s uncertain if the developers have reduced the frequency of certain maps in the game rotation, but rest assured, if they discuss this issue, we’ll report back, so keep an eye out for updates!

Regardless of the scenario, players can anticipate sinking their teeth soon into entirely fresh maps for Black Ops 6 without much delay.
