Call of Duty: Modern Warfarehas been bringing back tons of classicCall of Dutymaps through post-launch updates, but there are multiple maps still stuck in the past. Some of these maps were great in their original games, but there are a few that would lend themselves nicely toModern Warfare’s mechanics and pacing if they were to be reimagined for a new age.

Shipment, Crash, Vacant, and Rust, some of the most famousCall of Dutymaps of all time, have already made their way intoModern Warfare, but there are a lot of other locations that are strong contenders for remakes for a future update.
10Highrise
One of the most iconicCall of Dutymaps of all time, Highrise is home to manyModern Warfare 2players' fondest memories. Set on the roof of an urban skyscraper, Highrise would provide a wonderful change of scenery compared toModern Warfare’s many rundown warzones and war-torn city streets.
The rooftop itself allows for close-quarters engagements, while those equipped with snipers and marksman rifles can hang back and take pot shots from vantage points in the windows. There’s also the crane, where trick shots, clips, and montages are born.
9Estate
For a map that was as popular as it was in 2009’sCall of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, it’s a surprise that Estate has never been remade or reimagined for any other mainlineCall of Dutytitle since. The other appearance Estate has made in the past decade was a tropical version of the map, aptly named Estate Tropical, that was released in the China-exclusiveCall of Duty Online.

Estate’s combination of long sightlines in the open forest areas and the close-quarters interior of the titular estate would make for varied and interestingModern Warfaremultiplayer matches. Objective-basedgame modeslike Search and Destroy or the upcoming Demolition would play like a dream on Estate, and the lush forest setting would provide a nice change of scenery compared toModern Warfare’s other multiplayer locales.
8Terminal
Terminal is a map that needs no introduction. It’s not only one of Infinity Ward’s finest maps, but one of the greatestCall of Dutymaps of all time. Originally appearing inCall of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, Terminal has gone on to appear in every Infinity Ward developedCall of Dutygame since, barring 2013’sCall of Duty: Ghosts.
Just because it’s already been remade a few times doesn’t mean it shouldn’t be reimagined forModern Warfare. It’s been released for so manyCall of Dutygames because its layout and map design work so well across multiple scenarios, and just becauseModern Warfarehas a different style and pace than its predecessors doesn’t mean Terminal wouldn’t fit right into the map rotation.
7Favela
AnotherModern Warfare 2classic, Favela doesn’t get enough love as some of the other popular maps from the same game. Unlike otherModern Warfare 2highlights, Favela has only appeared once since its debut appearance in 2009, being remade for 2013’sCall of Duty: Ghosts.
Favela deserves better, and a reimagining of the map forModern Warfarecould give it another chance to be in the spotlight.Modern Warfareloves urban environments, with many of its current multiplayer maps pitting players against one another in war-torn city streets, and Favelas' mixture of open alleys and claustrophobic interiors would fit the game perfectly.
6Skidrow
So many maps from this list are fromCall of Duty: Modern Warfare 2becauseModern Warfare 2’s map selection was just that good. Skidrow isn’t as famous as Rust or Terminal, but it’s still a classic in its own right. Practically everyModern Warfare 2player remembers the streets of Skidrow fondly, and it’s a shame that the map has never made another appearance outside of itsModern Warfare 2debut.

Modern Warfare’s maps tend to feature either long sightlines or close-quarters engagements, rarely a mixture of both, and Skidrow would help alleviate that problem. The halls of the apartment building could make for exciting close-range encounters, while snipers and marksmen could keep an eye on the open streets.
5Bog
For a map that is iconic as it is to theModern Warfarefranchise, it’s a surprise that Bog has never made an appearance outside of the originalModern Warfare. Bog would appear inCall of Duty: Modern Warfare Remasterednine years after its debut, but that’s not saying much considering that was a full-on remake of theseminal first-person shooter.
Bog is aModern Warfarestaple, and it has a good chance of making its way into the newestModern Warfarebecause most of the maps added to the game post-launch have been remakes of popular locations from the past.
4Invasion
Much like Skidrow, Invasion is another fan-favorite map that hasn’t appeared in any otherCall of Dutytitle since its debut in 2009’sModern Warfare 2. Invasion feels like it could have been lifted straight out of the newestModern Warfare, abiding closely to the same design philosophy as most of the game’s maps.
Invasion also has the best chance of making it into the game of any map on this list. The map is technically already inModern Warfare, hidden out of bounds on the unpopular Euphrates Bridge map.
3Dome
Many ofModern Warfare 3’s maps don’t get a lot of love, but Dome has always been considered an all-time classic. So many ofModern Warfare 3’smaps blend together, but Dome stands out mostly due to its iconic architecture.

Dome has gone on to appear in every otherCall of Dutygames sinceModern Warfare 3, which gives it a decent chance of appearing inModern Warfare. The popularity of Rust, Shipment, and Shoot House has proven thatModern Warfareplayers want more small maps, and Dome would be the perfect new addition in a future season.
2Overgrown
Overgrown would be an excellent addition toModern Warfare,if only to provide a change of scenery. The lush foliage would be a wonderful breath of fresh air after hours of fighting in dilapidated buildings and rundown city streets. Overgrown is aModern Warfarestaple, appearing in the originalModern Warfare,Modern Warfare 2, andModern Warfare Remastered.
Overgrown is perfect for long-range engagement and sniper battles, something whichModern Warfareis lacking in currently.Marksman riflestend to get outplayed often on other maps because they can’t take advantage of range, and Overgrown would give them a chance to shine.
1Arkaden
Another map hailing fromCall of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, Arkaden would feel right at home inModern Warfarebecause of its layout and theme. Many ofModern Warfare’s maps are set in urban locations that are familiar to everyday people, like Piccadilly Circus, and Arkaden’s shopping mall environment would make for some interesting firefights.
Arkaden hasn’t gotten as much love asother maps, with mostModern Warfare 3nostalgia being attributed to Dome, so having this map remade forModern Warfarewould give it another chance in the spotlight.
