Call of Duty: Modern Warfare has been met with a positive critical reception, but one thing players have found a little disappointing is the game’s selection of maps. While there are 19 multiplayer maps in total, only ten of those are available in standard game modes, with the rest reserved for the smaller (Gun Fight) or larger (Ground War) match types.
Now, however, there is some hope for those wanting more maps in Modern Warfare. A datamine has revealed there are 38 potential new maps listed in the game’s files, including some fan favourites from the original Modern Warfare trilogy.
Reddit user Senescallo lists the 38 map names with some accompanying images. Maps of note include Call of Duty 4‘s Crash and Shipment, Modern Warfare 2‘s Sub Base and Rust, and one named Stadium – a possible remake of a Black Ops map.
In a separate datamine, Call of Duty fansite CharlieIntel has uncovered some possible new modes. Classic game types such as Demolition, Gun Game, Infected, and Capture the Flag could make a comeback, it seems, while there are also descriptions for new modes such as Fire Mission and Rupture. You can see the full list of maps and modes leaked in the datamines below.
It’s worth noting that these maps and modes might not necessarily end up in the game – some developers simply hedge their bets by putting placeholders in game files, and plans can also change – but their existence is at least encouraging for those struggling with the game’s current map rotation.
The game has been both a critical and commercial success, making over $600 million in its first three days on sale and earning an 8/10 in our own Call of Duty: Modern Warfare review. Since then, however, it has run into some issues, such as broken spawn points and a new mode being disabled just hours after it went live. Additionally, Modern Warfare’s Highway of Death scene has caused some controversy, leading the game’s narrative director to speak out against the criticism.
