Modern Warfare 3 Season 3 update patch notes – New download gives big boost to squads | Gaming | Entertainment


Call of Duty fans can download a massive new update for Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone. Out now on PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One and PC, the new update coincides with the launch of Season 3, which is headlined by the release of a new Battle Pass. The Battle Pass contains Operators like Makarov and Snoop Dogg, as well as more than 100 cosmetic rewards to unlock. The Modern Warfare 3 update also introduces four new maps to the game, including brand new locations such as 6 Star, which is set in a luxury skyscraper resort. Additional maps will launch later this season. Fans will also be able to try classic game modes like Capture the Flag, all with new weapons such as the MORS sniper rifle. Of course, a new season launches alongside lots of gameplay tweaks, balance changes and bug fixes, which you can see in the patch notes below…
