Many players of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare apparently find the selection of maps not large enough. They are demanding more maps for 12 players. Infinity Ward responds.
This is what Infinity Ward says: On Twitter, one user noted: “We need more 6v6 maps.” The Art Director of Infinity Ward, Joel Emsly, replied with a tweet:
Translation: We are really listening to you on this issue. We have been working on it and will continue to do so. As fast as humanly possible!
The announcement came shortly after the first update for 2020.
More 6v6 maps for popular game modes
What are the new maps for? The maps are particularly intended for some of the smaller multiplayer modes, for which there are currently few maps available. This affects:
- Team Deathmatch
- Hardpoint
- Domination
- Kill Confirmed
Many of the current maps in Modern Warfare are too large and primarily serve expansive modes such as the new 10v10 variants or the huge new mode Ground War.
Other maps are too small and are more suited for the 2v2 battles of Gunfight or for arcade modes like Gun Game or event modes like Infected.
Which maps could come? So far, there is no information on which new maps might be released. However, there is a huge leak with 38 new maps, some of which have already been released.
Players demand more maps
Why do players want more maps? The maps currently available for the 6v6 modes are largely revamped maps from older CoD titles. A new map that was released just a few weeks ago is Shoot House.
Shoot House has quickly become one of the most popular, possibly even the most popular map. It has even gotten to the point where players have requested the return of the introductory 24/7 mode for the map and demand the introduction of more 24/7 modes for the 6v6 maps.
The appetite for 6v6 maps is clearly there. Especially for new, unused maps for this format, as seen with Shoot House.
When will the maps arrive? So far, no date has been set for when the new maps will arrive. In the currently ongoing Season 1, three more 6v6 maps have already been released:
- Vacant
- Crash
- Shipment
However, these are remakes from CoD 4. Only Shoot House is truly new. The development of new maps takes more time, so it means waiting for the “next Shoot House.”
