While the latest looks at Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 have put the spotlight on the game's single-player, some players are suggesting parts of the new Warzone map may have been accidentally shown as well. Sledgehammer Games gave a small taste of what is to come in the game's new single-player, from the traditional, linear-style missions the series is known for to the new Open Combat Missions. It was in showing off the latter of these two, though, that some players suggest the studio may have let slip the first look at the new Warzone map.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 is set to pick things up from the conclusion of 2022's Modern Warfare 2 and officially introduce one of Call of Duty's most iconic villains into the rebooted series, Vladimir Makarov. The Ultranationalist was name-dropped at the end of the previous game's campaign as the mysterious entity responsible for setting the events of Modern Warfare 2 in motion while teasing his history with Captain Price. Task Force 141 will ramp up the hunt for Makarov in the new game as he looks to ignite World War 3 with the aid of his own dangerous military force, the Konni Group.

Despite everything revealed between Makarov's introduction and the 16 reprised maps from 2009's Modern Warfare 2, players have only been able to speculate about if a new Warzone map is also on the way, which YouTuber JGOD claims may have been accidentally revealed in a recent video. The content creator said he was told by alleged insiders who claim to have seen the new map that the Modern Warfare 3 single-player reveal from Gamescom 2023 contained some of the map's points of interest. The speculation isn't unfounded, either, since one has been added at the release of every new Call of Duty following 2019's Modern Warfare.

More players followed JGOD's statements on social media, saying the clips inadvertently highlighted parts of Modern Warfare 3's new map. Additionally, other players suggested the images of Modern Warfare 3's Zombies mode teased the new Warzone map and even argued both modes could use the same map due to Zombies being open-world.

The speculation online remains just that, though, as Sledgehammer Games has not confirmed if there will be a new Warzone map at Modern Warfare 3's launch at the time of this writing. It is possible players may hear more about Warzone during the upcoming Call of Duty Next event in October as the event will focus on multiplayer. Only time will tell, though, if Sledgehammer will continue the recent tradition of new Warzone maps at a game's launch or be the first to break it and not add one.
