It's the exact same layout but they just rotated the map and changed the setting to make it look different. :lol

Didn't they do this on black ops?lol.

Yes, but it was in DLC and they said that it was from the start.

PsihoPerihelion · Nov 10, 2013

MW3 maps are the worst.

Amir0x · Nov 10, 2013

that's how they make deadlines bro

Edit: I actually don't have any problem with this, if they just labeled it a 'legacy map.'

Chance Hale · Nov 10, 2013

Love all these Modern Warfare homages.

Odrion · Nov 10, 2013

They also recycled the ending from MW2.

Gorillaz · Nov 10, 2013

I honestly wish they stole them from mw2 instead. Atleast those maps had real choke points

What map?

AlexBasch · Nov 10, 2013

Of all the games where they would have recycled something, they chose MW3.

Yup, if it's a good map, it's a good map.

IAmRandom31 · Nov 10, 2013

The whole Ghosts project is a joke anyway. Straight milking the franchise at this point because they know they will sell 10m copies no matter how crappy they make it, or how rehashed it is.

Copy paste cutscenes, copy paste multiplayer, copy paste weaponry, whatever.

Hell the next-gen versions are just a copy/paste job with an increase in resolution. Barely even that in the X1 version.

DR3AM · Nov 10, 2013

the spawns completely destroy the map.

kazebyaka · Nov 10, 2013

Except the basic layout principles they are nothing alike, especially when you drop the nuke the whole map changes.

Sn4ke_911 · Nov 10, 2013

That's fan service guys.

hahahahahaaaa... hahahaa... ha

Mexi · Nov 10, 2013

This is the main reason why i will never buy a Call of Duty videogame.

Snacks the sober sea lion · Nov 10, 2013

Why would they not just slap the "classic" label on it?

blah blah nothing classic about MW3 anyway etc

Benutzer · Nov 10, 2013

i wish more fps studios would do that. just recycle the good maps and give them a fresh paint. i would pay a lot of money for a call of duty: greatest hits

I remember Black Ops having quite a few maps that were VERY similar to COD4, but not complete ripoffs.

Honestly it was for the best.

Nori Chan · Nov 10, 2013

So they changed the scenery of it and changed the layout a little bit?

...so what's so bad about this? That's like making fun of black ops 2 and nuketown 2025

BearPawB · Nov 10, 2013

I mean, remakes are valid in shooters. Halo does it.

But usually they aren't trying to hide it.

MOPP 4 · Nov 10, 2013

CS:GO recycled most their maps too at launch...what you getting at OP?

Eidan · Nov 10, 2013

Isn't this pretty common? I remember this happening in the Halo series. Was it considered a scandal?

Andrax · Nov 10, 2013

but but... MW3 is the worst one they made :/

The map design was awful.. everything about it. Yuck!

Kyzon · Nov 10, 2013

Nobody complained about legacy Halo maps or classic Smash maps. I don't see the problem.

And let's totally ignore the new gameplay feature that the original map was design for and how it will fit into the new game ? yay no thanks. BF3 had big issue with BF2 maps for this

jwk94 · Nov 10, 2013

I don't see the problem with this. They changed up a few things in the map so it's not 100% the same. They should have labeled it a legacy map as someone else said, though.

NinjaBoiX · Nov 10, 2013

So after 10 CoD games and presumably nearly 200 maps, one or two look a bit similar.

Well no shit.

Yea that's why havana from black ops 1 was popular....it was crossfire from cod4 lol

CoD is popular, so Activision is evil and the game is crap.

dreamfall · Nov 10, 2013

That laziness.

Gotta love the annual COD effect.

I'm hoping Titanfall does what the first Modern Warfare did- feel fresh!

GAMERG0D · Nov 10, 2013

No wonder I hate playing this map in MP.

Ikuu · Nov 10, 2013

Should have just saved it for DLC like DICE do.

Cosmo Clock 21 · Nov 10, 2013

MW2 recycled Brecourt as Wasteland, which was one of the base maps.

Order · Nov 10, 2013

Of course. This was the reason. THIS is what stopped you. I understand you have an irrational hate for CoD, but please don't act like you were even interested in the games.

XANDER CAGE · Nov 10, 2013

I-it's an homage, guys!

Although to be honest it's totally cool if it's listed as a legacy map or something.

They are usually 1:1 remakes. This looks like they are trying to hide it.

TacticalFox88 · Nov 10, 2013

Because no other developers do this.

Yep, STRICTLY Activision doing this.

ant_ · Nov 10, 2013

I don't understand the problem with this at all? They recreated a similar map from the ground up, it's not like they just did a texture swap. The map plays really well (bar the spawning system). Seems like just people are wanting to hate on Call of Duty for any reason whatsoever.

pretty done · Nov 10, 2013

Recycling a map from the CoD game with the worst maps in the whole series. Yep, Infinity Ward 0.4 made this game.

Save us Respawn.

Roo · Nov 10, 2013

It's called Retro Map
amirite?

Yeah I'm confused... Are people surprised? There is at least one map per game which is similar to an older one.

Duxxy3 · Nov 10, 2013

I wish they copied more MW3 maps.

Syphon Filter · Nov 10, 2013

KieferCrimson said:

To be fair MW3 has the best maps since COD 4.

firehawk12 · Nov 10, 2013

CoD might as well just go full esports and pull a DOTA2 by having only one map that everyone plays.

Sai-kun · Nov 10, 2013

Not sure why people think there's anything wrong with this? Remakes of 'classic' maps have always been a thing, at least in Halo. A remake/reimagining of an older map is always cool. Unless the map sucks, then that's just a bad break :lol

DMeisterJ · Nov 10, 2013

This is no different than many other games that have similar map layouts across different games.

Ikuu · Nov 10, 2013

Got to take every opportunity to shit on CoD.

It actually happened in the past in the COD series as well. The Brecourt map from COD 1 reappeared in COD 2, and in MW 2. Nobody seemed to be outraged back then. COD 2 copied a lot of maps from 1 anyway.
