Sledgehammer has stuck by that commitment, and players can look forward to two brand-new maps in Season 4.

WhileSeason 3appeals to small map lovers, Season 4 is making a play for more medium-sized maps.
New map: Tokyo
Nightlife, baby!
Additional buildings provide cover from killstreaks and the small interior zones of the Bookstore and Shop invite close-quarters opportunities.

Players can expect to spawn at the Backlot to the North or the Plaza to the South.
Paris will be available at launch in 6v6 core multiplayer playlists.
New mode: Demolition
There’s a mode we haven’t seen in a while!
All players spawn in with a bomb package, and respawns are turned on.
Rounds end only when both bomb sites are destroyed or when the timer runs out.
Demolition will be added to playlist rotations at the launch of Season 4.

The payoff is a package of perks like faster reload, weapon swap, and quicker movement.
Take too long to secure the next kill, however, and you explode.
Don’t go boom.

One more event-based modifiers can crop up in a multiplayer game in the modified playlist at any time.
2 kill assists or cross-fire assists now count as 1 kill or 125 score.
There’s no need to wonder if this perk is working, either.

New killstreak: Intelligent Munitions Systems (I.M.S.)
Tick, tick.
The IMS returns to Call of Duty after an extended absence.
Demolition returns to playlist rotation in Season 4.
This brutal killstreak packs smart explosives that detonate when triggered by an enemy combatant or vehicle.
The IMS launches an explosive skyward, which then locks on and propels toward its intended target.
Stack 7 kills or earn 875 score to earn one of these bad boys.

Danger close, soldiers!
What could go wrong?
New killstreak: DNA bomb
Nukes.
Playlist modifiers are coming to Modern Warfare 3 multiplayer with Season 4.
Call of Duty has a long history of the secret killstreak that can bring a match to its finale.
Sledgehammer Games is throwing in it’s own take on the biggest bang of them all.
Like its predecessors, the DNA bomb can only be acquired via kills without dying.
Provided they don’t rage-quit.
Of course, there’s some updates for stability and performance thrown in, too.
For good measure, of course.
It’s made its way to the Warzone battlefield, as well.
There’s no damage to maps at launch, or at least it seems all is well.
Things can always change with the mid-season update, however.
The availability of silos will continue to shift throughout Season 4.
Connect enough money and you could redeploy automatically.
No gulag, no squadmates.
Just you and your willingness to take a risk for some cold, hard cash.
Additional access feature: Specialist perk
All hail the coveted Specialist perk.
This is rare ground loot, so don’t bank your strategy on acquiring the specialist perk.
New feature: Loot hot zones
Loot Hot Zones are making their way back to the Warzone.
You may have to fight to the death for it, however.
The Kar98k can be unlocked in Battle Pass sector 15 and has 15 levels to reach max.
Aftermarket parts
Eight new aftermarket parts are now available as part of Season 4.
These aftermarket kits can primarily be unlocked via weekly weapon challenges.
By utterly butchering his likeness for a very unusual Tier 100 Battle Pass skin.
The “Nautilus” skin for Soap unlocks at Tier 0 alongside the new operator, Hammer.
The “Identity Theft” effect lasts until the player’s next respawn.
20 tier skips for the battle pass are also included.
