Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 has introduced an array of fresh playlists for players to delve into, marking the arrival of the second wave of playlists following the Season 2 update.
The Season 2 update for Modern Warfare 3 was unveiled a week ago, bringing a host of new elements like additional 6v6 maps, game modes, and more. Alongside these additions, the update unveiled new weekly playlists including Stash House 24/7, Team Gun Game, and Hordepoint: Armored Apocalypse. The introduction of the Hordepoint mode in Modern Warfare 3 was a groundbreaking move, injecting zombies into the game's Multiplayer by challenging players to combat both the undead hordes and rival teams for Hardpoint control. The trend continues with the latest addition of a zombie-themed Multiplayer mode.
The fresh playlists in Modern Warfare 3 encompass Departures 24/7, Snipers Only, and Hordepoint: Hellhound Pound. The revamped Hordepoint mode now incorporates the Zombie mode's Hellhounds, intensifying the gameplay. Additionally, the new mode retains the presence of regular zombies. Snipers Only restricts players to sniper rifles, while Departures 24/7 offers a chance to explore the Season 2 Departures map. Set in an international airport, Departures presents a unique gameplay experience with long sightlines reminiscent of the iconic Terminal map from 2009.

- Hordepoint: Hellhound Pound
- Snipers Only
- Departures 24/7
With the recent exclusion of sniper rifles from Ranked Play in Modern Warfare 3, the introduction of Snipers Only couldn't have been better timed for sniper aficionados seeking a thrilling way to wield their favorite weapon class. This new mode features Team Deathmatch and Domination across various maps, removing all weapons except sniper rifles and eliminating lethal and tactical equipment.
The debut of Departures 24/7 resulted in the rotation out of Stash House 24/7. Like many compact maps in the Call of Duty series, the new Stash House map in Modern Warfare 3 has garnered popularity despite some user grievances. The map's small size occasionally leads to questionable spawns, and its intricate layout creates challenging angles that demand adaptation. Nonetheless, fans of other diminutive Call of Duty maps like Shipment likely found enjoyment in Stash House before its 24/7 playlist was replaced.
