Initially, players will see four core 6v6 maps including areas like Mercado and Shoothouse. A dedicated playlist after MW3’s debut will reveal them instantly.

What’s interesting to note is that MWII maps in Modern Warfare 3 will play a little differently. It’s because “due to the innovations to movement and general gameplay mechanics present in MWIII, you may find that they play in an altogether different manner,”  reads the official blog.
