Call of Duty: Modern Warfare is actually going in exactly the right direction. At least in view of the multi-month feedback from many fans. Where huge maps stretched the games too much for the release, Season 1 & 2 rely on many tiny infantry maps that shoot a lot. Rust, Shipment, Shoot House and the new Map Khandor Hideout are pushing you and your enemies so close together that you can level weapons in no time.
Just stupid that there is no free map choice. The new playlist update from March 28 is supposed to remedy this. But that's still not enough for many fans on Reddit and Twitter.
Modern Warfare 2 as a remaster? Alleged leaks and rumors of a remaster of Modern Warfare 2 are currently condensing. The colleagues at Mein-MMO already have a detailed report on this.
What does the new playlist deliver?
According to Infinity Ward, the new playlists should primarily focus on CQC battles, i.e. shootouts in a confined space. In the foreground two new playliststhat are already in the game:
- Hideout 24/7: Here you can play the new map Khandor Hideout in an endless loop.
- Cabin fever: 6v6 battles in tight spaces, in rotation including Hackney Yard, Shipment, Shoot House and Rust. In detail you can see the maps again here:
Bored at home? Need something to do? What about …

What is the problem?
These small maps are actually ideal for leveling your own weapons for Warzone and letting perfect loadouts rain from the sky. However, many players complain that they cannot select Shipment or Rust (the two smallest cards) and that coincidence instead leads them too often to Hackney Yard or Gun Runner (two larger maps).
Dear IW, the reason we don’t like when the CQC playlist has all these extra maps is completely down to the fact that there’s NO map voting! from r / modern warfare
Freely translated, many players on Reddit and Twitter want a manual map selection to grind Shipment or Rust all day long.
Infinity Ward responds directly
Infinity Ward responded quickly to the feedback from the fans. There is no free map selection, but the Cabin Fever playlist has been revised so that shipment and rust should appear more frequently via matchmaking. We tried it a few times, but still only ended up at Hackney Yard. Maybe it's just bad luck on Sunday.
We're rolling out a playlist update that helps you find more Shipment and Rust matches in the Cabin Fever playlist. We’ve also added this playlist to the Hardcore filter!

What do you think Would you like free map selection or at least map voting in Modern Warfare? Do you like the new Khandor map? And who also thinks of old Superman comics?
