The new update will add substantial changes to both the Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare and Warzone. As previously teased, the biggest addition comes in the form of two new operators in the form of Nikolai and Farah, and the ability to traverse the subway tunnels within matches of Warzone.
Known as the “Metro”, the subway will have fully operated trains that hold the ability to act as dynamic fast travel between points on the map. Stations will be packed with loot to find and once obtained, squads can hop on the train to move somewhere else. Trains won’t operate unless there is no conflict onboard and will not venture into areas outside the circle.
In Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare, as with previous seasons, four new maps have been added to freshen up the experience. Each boasts particular features, whether being specific to multiple modes or returning classics from prior games.
The four new maps added to Season 6 are:
- Station: The Gunfight mode specific map is set around a rural Kastovia train station. Trains littered across the map offer ample cover and tactical highpoints to eliminate unaware enemies.
- Broadcast: Bringing back the fan favourite map from Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, Broadcast has only been found as a Warzone location up until the point. Now, players will be able to dive into the nostalgic map across a variety of core modes.
- Mialstor Tank Factory: Described as one of the larger maps, Mialstor Tank Factory offers two large buildings with an outside space between them. Boasting a versatility in playstyles, the new map will be accessible through small and large scale core modes.
- Verdansk Riverside: The Ground War mode specific map takes a chunk of the Warzone map and turns it into a core multiplayer map. Various buildings and vehicles will drastically shake up the heat of battle in this large-scale battle.
All the new features and maps were highlighted throughout a Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare Season 6 trailer, showcasing what fans will be diving into once the season launches. A Halloween inspired mode has also been teased to begin on October 20, with iconic horror movie villain Jigsaw heard laughing in the background.

Further details have been revealed in a Call Of Duty blog post. Two new weapons in the form of the SP-R 208 Marksman Rifle and AS-VAL Assault Rifle have been added, Modern Warfare has received multiple new mode variations, new skins and finishing moves have been added, and a whole new battle pass with 100 tiers to unlock has been made available.
As with previous battle passes, new operators, skins, blueprints, and XP boosts can be unlocked. One such reward is Edward, a pet bat that can be utilised as a finishing move on enemies and explodes their heads.
Whilst Season 6 of Modern Warfare has begun, Call Of Duty: Black Ops Cold War is ramping up for its upcoming release in November. Over the course of the recent multiplayer alpha test, the developer cited that the it was the most downloaded PS4 alpha or beta in Call Of Duty history.
A full reveal for its Zombies mode is also anticipated for tomorrow (September 30).
