The highly awaited Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 is just around the corner and it promises to be a big upgrade from its predecessor. However, the ongoing second-week beta run has rather been a call back to Modern Warfare 2 in a lot of features. While the CoD fanatics are still decoding every aspect in the Beta, claims of the previous edition’s highrise glitch reaching the MW3 gameplay have left the fans irked. 

As the beta test run entered into its second long week making its debut on PC and Xbox latest gen consoles, fans were looking forward to experiencing some new features. This included the introduction of some more maps and modes. Among all these new maps unveiled in the beta run week two, Highrise became the talk of the town. Well, while it is under fans’ spotlights, it’s not necessarily for the right reasons.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3: Highrise but not a high point

Being a major highlight of gaming memories with MW2, the Highrise map remains one of the most iconic features from the 2022 release. The multidimensional topography that has enthralled players for years was made available to them once more. The map includes landmarks like the famed crane, a helipad, offices on either side of the map, and maintenance tunnels. 

In addition, if players are ready to climb, they can reach a few exceptional power spots on the map. Fans can investigate the terrain from different heights, with the crane being a viable location for clean long shots. However, the map received some mixed reactions for the glitches that occurred in the mode.

In the original version, players could access montages through the glitches on the map. The New York rooftop map became famous for one such glitch known as the “jump shot” glitch.
