Dot Dot Dot! Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III Will Resurrect Classic Mini Map, It’s Confirmed

Activision is leaving no stone unturned in making the next Call of Duty truly special. That’s the reason why the publisher is focusing on marketing it in a unique manner, unlike the past installments. While doing so, however, the makers have now also confirmed the return of one of the most iconic, fan-favorite features in this year’s game.

Thanks to the promotional phone number, being used by players these days, a major piece of information has been revealed. Remember the red dots in Multiplayer from old titles? Well, they are getting a much-wanted resurrection with Modern Warfare III.

Red dots in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III confirmed for 2023

ModernWarzone on Twitter, a popular streamer, recently posted a tweet. He wrote that “the classic mini map – AKA red dots appearing when firing an unsuppressed weapon – is returning in” in Modern Warfare III.

The content creator got to know about this information while replying to the promotional phone number revealed by Activision. Although it’s used for receiving intel on the upcoming MWIII reveal event Shadow Siege, some players are utilizing it to unearth more data. Seems like the trick has worked for them, with the confirmation of red dots. One can simply reply “red dot” to this number in order to receive a message that reads “confirmed” alongside a red color dot.

As of now, the latest game in Call of Duty Modern Warfare II doesn’t feature the mini-map with red dots. Due to the absence of this feature, it has received a lot of criticism from hardcore fans since its launch. But now, they can rejoice after knowing that their beloved Multiplayer option is officially making a return in 2023.
