When Season 3 ofCall of Duty: Modern Warfarewas originally announced, Infinity Ward revealed that players would be getting aslew of content sometime later in the season, but it wasn’t exactly known when said content would be coming. Now, almost halfway through the season, it’s been revealed that at least one of the pieces of promised content, a remake of theMW3map Hardhat, will be coming during the game’s upcoming midseason update.
Infinity Ward’s Co-Design Director of Multiplayer Joe Cecot confirmed the news over Twitter yesterday while responding to a fan.

Hardhat was originally featured in 2011’sCall of Duty: Modern Warfare 3and quickly became a fan-favorite. When the developer confirmed the map was coming to 2019’sCall of Duty: Modern Warfare,many fans got excited even though we didn’t know exactly when it was set to come out.
While we don’t know exactly this “midseason update” will drop, it can be inferred that it’ll be coming sometime within the next week or two, due to the fact that there’s only about a month left of the current season.Call of Duty: Modern Warfarehas been getting a pretty steady flow of content ever since Season 3 first dropped,including the addition of new Operators, but this would probably be the largest piece of content we’ve gotten in a while.
While the game is certainly not struggling by any means, the addition of such a fan-favorite map would give more players a reason to return to the game’s standard multiplayer. According to the developer, the game’s battle royale modeCall of Duty: Warzoneis doing insanely well, but we don’t really know how the rest of the game, including the multiplayer, is doing when it comes to player counts.
It’ll also be interesting to see what changes Infinity Ward makes to the map. Ever sincethe developer started releasing remakes of old maps, fans have noticed that there have been some changes made to each of them, with new pathways and sections being added here or there. While some hardcore purist fans may have a problem with it, it’s certainly hard to complain when the maps are coming free of charge.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfareis available on PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
