Season 3's update hit Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone today and there’s a lot of new content. There are new game modes, the return of Rebirth Island, new Perks, new weapons, and so much more! Here’s everything you need to know that’s new in Season 3. Multiplayer Updates New Game Modes Modern Warfare 3 dropped four new game modes in Multiplayer: Capture the Flag, One in the Chamber, Minefield, and Escort. CTF and One in the Chamber are available at launch with Minefield and Escort dropping mid-season. Minefield will be a variation available in Kill Confirmed, Domination, and Hardpoint. In Minefield, dead players will drop a Proximity Mine that will be deadly only towards their own teammates. Escort is a pretty self-explanatory game mode where one team has to escort a MAW across a map while the other defends and tries to stop the attackers. The match will include a side swap after the first game and the team who delivers the payload the fastest, wins. New
