Classic Call of Duty Map Highrise Set to Make a Return in Modern Warfare 3 Beta This Weekend

Call of Duty Modern Warfare is in beta and the devs are including many new features before the games release. The beta started off with weekend one by releasing four maps and game modes. Although this gave players enough content for the week, fans wanted more.

For the second weekend of the beta test, the devs finally unveiled more maps and game modes. These maps and modes will be available to play starting October 12. But the one map that had players on their toes was Highrise. And Sledgehammer has finally dropped the highly anticipated map.

The return of the New York Skyscraper in Call of Duty

For the weekend 2 update of Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3, the devs finally dropped Highrise. This map is based on the rooftop of a New York City skyscraper.

Players will get to re-experience the multilevel terrain that has captivated them for years. The map features sights like offices on either side of the map, a helipad, maintenance tunnels, and the infamous crane. Further, the map also has a few incredible power positions that players can access if they are willing to make the climb. With the crane being a potential spot for clean longshots, fans can explore the map at different altitudes.

Originally seen as a part of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, the map features a helipad in the middle of two office buildings. This helipad has been the main place of conflict for many Call of Duty players over the years.

Players can try out the brand new Cutthroat mode along with the Search & Destroy game mode. In the Cutthroat mode, players actively engage in intense 3v3v3 combat. The objective is to secure victory by either being the last team standing or capturing the overtime flag. It’s a fast-paced and competitive mode that promotes teamwork and strategic positioning.

Search & Destroy requires players to alternate between defending and attacking bomb sites. Notably, there are no respawns intensifying the importance of each player’s life. Teams must actively strategize and coordinate their actions to secure victory. It’s a classic mode that places a premium on tactics and precise execution.
