Fans looking forward to exploring a new competitive map in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 do not have much time to enjoy Vista before it leaves MW3 Ranked Play.

After the conclusion of Call of Duty League Major 2, both the developers and the professional players are ready to expand the CDL map pool. It is no secret that many of the remastered Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 (2009) maps do not play play great in Hardpoint, Search & Destroy, and Control, so each time new, original multiplayer maps get released, the competitive scene scrims them before possibly adding them to the rotation. This time, the entire Call of Duty community gets to test out Vista for a limited-time.

So, how much longer do fans have to play Vista in MW3 Ranked Play before it leaves the competitive playlist?

Treyarch Studios Adds Vista and Departures to MW3 Ranked Play

In a recent announcement, Treyarch Studios revealed Vista and Departures are being added to MW3 Ranked Play to test out the maps in Hardpoint, Search & Destroy, and Control. Vista and Departures join Rio, Invasion, Sub Base, Karachi, Skidrow, Terminal, and Highrise in the current competitive map rotation.

When Does Vista Leave MW3 Ranked Play? Answered

Vista leaves MW3 Ranked Play on Friday, Mar. 29, 2024. After five days in Ranked Play, the multiplayer map, along with Departures, will be removed from the competitive playlist.

If the Call of Duty League professional players vote to add Vista to the current CDL map pool, then Vista will return to Ranked Play. With the addition of one map though, one will likely leave.

Is Invasion Hardpoint Leaving MW3 Ranked Play? Answered

Yes, Invasion Hardpoint is likely leaving MW3 Ranked Play if Vista or Departures HP get added to the rotation. It is no secret that Invasion HP is one of the most unpopular maps in the mode (rivaled only by Sub Base) and the new hills and spawns just made the map worse.

If Vista indeed is a better Hardpoint option, then Invasion will surely be the first map to go.
