Modern Warfare 3 players insist ‘disgusting’ set of maps need axing

As a seasoned gamer with over two decades of gaming under my belt, I’ve seen it all – from the golden age of pixelated graphics to the current era of hyper-realistic visuals. Modern Warfare 3 holds a special place in my heart, and I was eagerly awaiting the return of those classic maps that made the game so iconic. But alas, Sledgehammer had other ideas.

Ever since Modern Warfare 3 was released in November 2023, Sledgehammer Games has been actively working to keep the game updated rather than focusing solely on reintroducing the classic maps that were initially associated with the title.

Revamped map designs and refreshed Vortex versions have steered attention away from traditional Estate and Hub layouts, yet these refurbished iterations of a remastered game are met with disdain by players. Some have gone as far as labeling them “disgusting” and detrimental to the overall gaming experience due to subpar visuals.

Modern Warfare 3 fans want Vortex maps to be banished

Originally, vortex maps gained significant popularity, with Skidgrow standing out as a particularly preferred choice compared to the drab and gray color scheme of Skidrow. This appeal was further enhanced by the seamless integration of The Walking Dead crossover, fitting like a decayed glove onto the gameplay.

It appears that players are growing tired of the glossy version of the maps and yearn for the simpler matte finish of the originals. A passionate faction of enthusiasts has even started a petition on Reddit, asking the developers to “,” stating that they make them feel queasy.

A different fan commented, “They’re really bad. The lighting and sound quality are poor,” while others suggested that Zombies might be more fitting, considering that the multiplayer maps were used to create Modern Warfare 3’s undead gameplay.

“Initially, these maps were quite intriguing, eliciting a sense of ‘this is amazing!’ However, after playing numerous games, they seemed to deviate from the expected multiplayer ambiance, aligning instead with the Zombies genre,” the fan pointed out.

One individual also supported the idea of Zombies, proposing, “Let’s create zombie maps like Onslaught Containment style from BOCW…Please make it a Shadows of Evil mode since Modern Warfare Zombies might become a wasteland with Black Ops 6 release. We need a way to enjoy zombies locally or privately.“

The Vortex mode was also criticised for its weird Ray Gun animation, leaving this as a rare Sledgehammer swing-and-miss.
