The first playlist update for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Season 3 brings back a popular mode that was removed during Season 2. Call of Duty:Modern Warfare 2's fan-favorite mode was added alongside new 6v6 maps and modes developed for the game's latest season.Modern Warfare 2 Season 3 began today with a slew of new multiplayer content such as new maps, modes, weapons, features, and a new Battle Pass. Additional content will be added during Season 3 in a mid-season update, and players can expect modes to come and go with each playlist update. This week's playlist update for Modern Warfare 2 features a returning mode that fans have clamored for during the last few weeks of Season 2 Reloaded.Infinity Ward's official Twitter account reveals the popular 10v10 Mosh Pit is back with the first playlist update for Modern Warfare 2 Season 3, allowing players to enjoy 6v6 maps with up to 20 players in a single match. 3rd Person Mosh Pit returns alongside 10v10 Mosh Pit this week, but the 10v10 version appears to be a clear favorite following weeks of strong fan demand and anticipation. Further, Season 3's new Pelayo's Lighthouse and Black Gold maps are featured in new 24/7 modes respectively.
10v10 Mosh Pit was removed in the Season 2 Reloaded's March 22 playlist update, which puzzled and frustrated players in the community for multiple weeks. The final playlist update for Season 2 Reloaded provided an opportunity for fans to vote 10v10 Team Deathmatch into the playlist in Modern Warfare 2. However, the Shipment Extended mode won with the most votes from fans. The outcome angered some Modern Warfare 2 players at the time since Shipment 24/7 and 10v10 Mosh Pit are two of the most popular multiplayer modes.
Fortunately, Season 3 is kicking off with 10v10 Mosh Pit as one of its first featured modes in the Modern Warfare 2 playlist. Some players still advocate for 10v10 Mosh Pit to become a permanent fixture of the playlist alongside Shipment 24/7. Others believe the increase in total player count on 6v6 maps allows them to use map space that would go unused in traditional playlist modes like Kill Confirmed and Team Deathmatch.
Although 10v10 Mosh Pit has returned to Modern Warfare 2, the possibility of its removal from the playlist remains. Infinity Ward may rotate the mode out of the playlist to introduce brand-new modes, but the persistent fan demand for 10v10 Mosh Pit will surely continue. At the very least, Season 3 appears to have a positive shift in Modern Warfare 2's gameplay thus far.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 is available now for PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S.
