Highlights

  • Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 adds Meat 24/7, Hordepoint: Mimic Mania, and Best of '09 in a new playlist update.
  • Players can participate in a Horde Hunt event by collecting trophies dropped by zombie types in Hordepoint mode.
  • In addition, players can claim a free Monster Energy-themed operator skin in Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone for a limited time.

Sledgehammer Studios has added three new playlists for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 fans to enjoy in Meat 24/7, Hordepoint: Mimic Mania, and Best of '09. This is a predictable update for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, which often adds new playlists on a weekly basis.

Last week's Modern Warfare 3 playlist update added Departures 24/7, Snipers Only, and Hordepoint: Hellhound Pound. The first two playlists are still available, although Hordepoint has since been updated to this week's iteration. Users can partake in Hordepoint to progress through the Horde Hunt event, which requires players to collect various types of trophies dropped by different zombie types. If users want to complete the event's newest challenge, they should probably give the new Hordepoint mode a try.

Some Call of Duty: MW3 Players Getting Refunds After Buying Overpriced Bundle

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 issues partial refunds to players after accidentally adding the most expensive bundle in its history.

Hordepoint: Mimic Mania updates the mode to include Mimics, a powerful enemy from Modern Warfare 3's Zombies mode. Mimics will spawn throughout a match of Hordepoint, which can be slain for a chance to collect a Mimic skull; users will need to collect 200 of these skulls to complete this week's Horde Hunt challenge. The new Best of '09 playlist features classic Modern Warfare 2 (2009) maps, including Favela, Highrise, Rust, Scrapyard, Skidrow, and Terminal. As for game modes, Best of '09 features Kill Confirmed, Team Deathmatch, Hardpoint, and Domination. The update's final new playlist, Meat 24/7, features Meat as its only map with a similar offering of game modes. Other playlists currently featured in Modern Warfare 3 and not already mentioned include 10v10 Mosh Pit, Small Map Mosh Pit, and Team Gun Game.

Currently, Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone fans can also claim a free Monster Energy-themed operator skin. The exclusive skin, called The Beast, sees the user don a motocross helmet in combination with a Monster Energy-colored outfit. Call of Duty has not specified how long this promotion is available, so interested users should probably claim it sooner rather than later.

This promotion comes after recent news that Activision is being sued by some of the Call of Duty community's most popular figures. Hector "Hecz" Rodriguez and Seth "Scump" Abner, both of OpTic Gaming fame, are reportedly suing the corporate giant for $680 million due to Activision allegedly strong-arming the game's pro community into gathering under its official Call of Duty League banner.

As for future updates, recent leaks suggest that a Warhammer 40K crossover is likely coming to Call of Duty soon. Dataminers have found evidence of skins, badges, loading screens, and more that are themed around the popular sci-fi franchise. However, it's important to note that the event has still not been officially announced.
