Which classic maps are in CoD MW3? Revisit favourites from MW2 2009

All 16 maps from CoD MW2 are returning in CoD MW3! Each one has been remade from the ground up for the new Call of Duty, featuring updated art and graphics while retaining what made them all so well-loved in the first place.

Each of the 16 remade MW2 2009 maps are included at launch in MW3.

You can see the remakes of the classic MW2 2009 maps in action in the trailer above.

Look out below for the full list of the CoD MW3 classic maps:

Afghan

This isn't the first time Afghan has been put in a new CoD game, and it won't be the last. That crashed plane makes for some great gunfights.

Derail

This big map set in the ice and snow of Russia is sure to be home to some memorable multiplayer matches, just as it was back in the day.

Estate

A medium-size map good for all-round weapons, with buildings that make for great sniping spots.

Favela

Another of the most classic of classic maps, Favela takes you to the streets of Rio de Janeiro and is full of close-quarter battles.

Highrise

Highrise is another map that has been remade a couple of times before - but that doesn't stop it from being a classic!

Invasion

Invasion was originally meant to be a DLC map in CoD 4: Modern Warfare but was scrapped. It was eventually put in MW2 2009 and is appearing again in MW3 2023.

Karachi

Set in Pakistan, this map features plenty of buildings and rooftops to battle on.

Quarry

Another map set in Brazil, Quarry is quite unique in that you're fighting in a cramped environment rather than a town, field or sandy setting.

Rundown

Yet another map set in Brazil, Rundown is back and looking more highly-defined than ever.

Rust

The hours we've all spent on Rust over the years. This tiny map is about as fun and hectic as CoD multiplayer can get. We're so glad it's back.

Scrapyard

Another Call of Duty map with a broken plane to battle around. All that rust and smoke can't be good for you, let alone the bullets.

Skidrow

Dream of California, they said... You won't be after a few matches on this urban map.

Sub Base

Take the fight to Russia on this classic submarine-toting map that offers plenty of vertical gameplay.

Terminal

When talking about classic CoD maps, Terminal is often near the top of anyone's list of the best. You'll understand why this stone-cold classic is back yet again as soon as you play your first match on it in MW3.

Underpass

Another map set in Brazil - this time in the humid region of Manaus - Underpass is hot and sticky and should allow some quality medium-t0-long-range gunfights.

Wasteland

A remake of the classic multiplayer map from the original Call of Duty 1 and 2 (Brecourt), Wasteland is making its long-overdue return in MW3.

For whatever reason, Activision is yet to show a screenshot of the remade level, so the image above is from version of the map from MW2 2009.
