Warzone and MW3 The Haunting event modes
Here’s a look into all The Haunting 2024 modes for Warzone and MW3:
| Modes | Available On | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Hordepoint | Modern Warfare 3 | Capture and defend the Hardpoint against enemy players and the undead. |
| Mutation | Modern Warfare 3 | Witness the return of Mutation mode, a battle between humans and mutants. While humans have increased ammo reserves and Killstreaks, mutants uncover abilities like Mutated Leaper, Camoflauged Sneaker, and many more. |
| Infected | Modern Warfare 3 | Another classic mode that features more Halloween-themed content. One player will be infected randomly, and it’s up to the survivors to eliminate them. |
| Purgatory | Warzone | Go to the Hellspawn map to participate in this squad-based limited mode. Work with other players and utilize perks to survive in Purgatory. You’ll see a few interesting points of interest while here, including a flying Shipment island, portals, and Safe Zones. |
| Zombie Royale | Warzone | Similar to Battle Royale but with a zombie twist. Anyone eliminated becomes undead, unlocking talents like increased movement speeds, advanced vision, and heightened jumps. |
Participate in the new Purgatory Island event for the chance to get more Warzone rewards. It’ll last until Oct. 16, so get in while you can.
All The Haunting maps in Warzone and Modern Warfare 3
Modern Warfare 3 players can explore Halloween-themed maps like Drive Thru, Mad Cow, and Ghost Ship. Drive Thru is brand-new to the Call of Duty world and introduces a spine-chilling killer clown restaurant. Meat has also changed up its tune with the Mad Cow variant, bringing a grotesque look to it. Lastly, if you want a fast-paced map, try Shipment’s variant, Ghost Ship.
A ritual site corrupts this beloved map, showcasing strange glyphs, jack-o’-lanterns, and a graveyard. You can dive into the new maps head-on using the Ghost Ship 24/7 or the Drive Thru 24/7 playlists. That way, you can temporarily remove the other maps to focus on the more horrific ones.
As for Warzone, you’ll get two new map variants: Vondel Night and Rebirth Island’s Hellspawn. Zombie Royale and Purgatory take the stage in the Hellspawn map, where it’ll be challenging to see with the surrounding mist. The Vondel map also features the Zombie Royale mode, altering the time of day into night. Honestly, it’s not too much of a change, but the undead should switch things up.
