In response to mounting concerns over spawn issues plaguing gameplay, the developers of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 have temporarily removed Hardpoint maps from the game. Serving as the third installment in the Modern Warfare reboot series, set for a global release on November 10, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 continues the narrative begun in the 2019 release and further developed in 2022's Modern Warfare 2.
