MW3 Season 2 Countdown to Release

The MW3 Season 2 countdown is officially on as fans await the new weapons and multiplayer maps coming in the next major update to Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3.

Although MW3 Season 1 Reloaded only lasted a few weeks, the midseason update was an overall success for multiplayer fans. Rio finally joined the map rotation, and after a slight delay, Ranked Play launched. The climb from Bronze to Top 250 is an addicting, frustrating grind, but easily the most competitive playlist in MW3 since its release back in November 2023. Now, fans must get ready to start their progression all over again once MW3 Season 2 launches.

To prepare for all the new content in MW3, players should check out our countdown to know exactly when Season 2 launches.

Warzone Season 2 goes live at the same time.

Is Rio Coming to MW3 Ranked Play in Season 2?
