Having already touted its season pass for Call of Duty: Ghosts, Infinity Ward is now beavering away at its first map pack for the blockbuster shooter.
However, a recent leak may have exposed the incoming batch of multiplayer arenas, at least in name.
Red River, Swamp, Boneyard, and Dome have all appeared in screengrabs taken by a PC gamer, sourced from an in-game playlist titled “IW6 Daily test”.
Veterans of the series will recognise one of the maps above. Unless the two maps happen to share the same name, Modern Warfare 3’s Dome will make a return in this first premium content drop.
A new Extinction level has also been spotted, named “Alien Armoury”, which will hopefully bring even more diversity to Ghosts’ offbeat co-op mode.
Infinity Ward has yet to confirm any details, though their swift removal of the playlist and radio silence suggest that the leak could be a genuine one.

Yes Dome, love it. Would love to see a return of the scrapyard map from MW2.

I’d love Wasteland or Afghan from MW2, Ghosts feels like it needs some good sniper maps.

I don’t really want to see old levels again, especially when I’m essentially paying for them (again). They also always pick the shitest levels, generally the most chaotic maps as that’s what the kids want to play – God forbid there was any form of tactical play in CoD like there was in CoD4. Some maps need large “run-offs” like Estate or Derail from MW2 so that everything is not best suited to SMGs all the time.

Ghosts is actually the most tactical COD in a while, it feels to me. You kill people quickly, and can get killed quickly, hence the need for cover is all the more important. And multiple levels mean multiple routes to flank people.
I agree with you though about the chaotic maps, I much prefered the old 3-lane style of maps such as Highrise or Rundown, they dictated movement around the map far better than the choke point layouts do.

Oh that’s really good to hear, cheers. I like to use cover and play at a slower pace. I can’t wait for my PS4 to arrive so I can try it!!

I hate it when they already have these maps done when the game releases. I would rather it was kept quiet. It just annoys me.

To be fair it wasn’t an official announcement, it’s usually cos someone with the PC version has found code which indicates the maps.
