Call of Duty confirms return of iconic map and game modes in Black Ops 6 Season 3

Treyarch confirmed a Firing Range remake in Black Ops 6 Season 3 and announced the long-awaited return of Demolition and Sharpshooter.

After MW3 included every MW2 2009 map last year, Treyarch emphasized creating new 6v6 environments for BO6 instead. Out of the 27 maps in BO6 as of Season 2, there are only three maps from previous games: Nuketown, Hacienda, and Grind.

That’s set to change in Season 3 with the long-awaited return of Firing Range. Meanwhile, the devs have taken a similar approach with game modes. BO6 launched with most of the familiar favorites and has drip-fed a few other classics every seasonal update, like Prop Hunt and Gun Game.

This upcoming update continues that trend by adding two modes fans have been waiting for.

Firing Range first appeared in the original Black Ops title and was later remade in BO3 and BO4, meaning it’s been seven years since we last saw the map. If you haven’t had the opportunity to play Firing Range, the map takes place at a military practice facility in Cuba.

The map is relatively small and features two primary buildings at either end and a building in the middle, where most of the action takes place.

Many Call of Duty veterans have Firing Range at the top of their all-time best map lists, and we expect the remake to be a favorite as well.

Demolition has appeared in almost every series entry since MW2 2009. It features the same general structure as Search and Destroy, with one team attacking and the other defending bomb sites.

However, players can respawn and each attacker has a bomb. Attacking teams have 2.5 minutes to destroy the first bomb site, then get an additional 2.5 minutes to destroy the second if they complete the first task.

Sharpshooter challenges six players in a free-for-all format to get as many kills as possible with a randomly selected starting weapon. Four consecutive kills earn a Perk, and the lobby gets a new random gun to use every 45 seconds until the 5-minute and 15-second match clock expires.
