Play the New Season 04 Core Maps

Showdown: Originally featured in Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, the iconic Showdown map returns to challenge players with its deadly central courtyard surrounded by arched portals from which attacks threaten from above and below.

The perimeter presents its own challenges as Operators are funneled into narrow engagements against enemies near and far, including those escaping the courtyard and looking for action on the outside. Learn to operate in all sections of the map to overcome your opponents, keeping them guessing your every move.

Kunstenaar District: Vondel’s scenic arts district features boutique shops, townhouses, and a neighborhood brewery in an area adorned with street art. Take a swim in the canal to avoid detection and watch your flank when moving past the central plaza. Use the map’s tight interiors to move across its traditional three-lane structure while pre-empting close-quarters threats from within.

Go Big with Battle Maps, Plus Hardcore and Third Person

Engage in large-scale combat with three Free Access Battle Maps, supporting large player counts in expansive environments. Supported modes include the traditional Ground War, where players fight for control of multiple objectives across the map, Invasion, combining players and AI opponents for a multifaceted combat experience, and more.

Free Access players can also try Hardcore for added immersion, including limited HUD elements, friendly fire, and reduced health. And for those seeking a different perspective than the traditional first-person view, try the over-the-shoulder Third Person mode, granting a wider perspective of the environment and a fuller view of your Operator.
