While Modern Warfare 3 players will benefit from a multitude of new maps for Season 3, they quickly noticed that one of the new additions bears a striking resemblance to one of Black Ops 2’s most popular maps.
Every major Modern Warfare 3 update brings new maps to multiplayer, and Season 3 is no exception. In addition to new weapons like the MORS sniper rifle, six maps will appear throughout the season, but one of them directly caught the attention of players.
Following its reveal in the Season 3 release, fans were quick to point out that 6 Star looks a lot like another iconic Call of Duty map, Raid.
This Black Ops 2 map took place in a mansion in the Hollywood Hills and quickly became extremely popular with fans. Although 6 Star is a brighter battlefield, set in a luxury resort atop a Dubai skyscraper, players couldn’t ignore the similarities between the two.
“Really Raid vibes. This one looks good,” said one X user, while another added: “Damn, looks like Raid, add this thing into competition.”

Players on Reddit agreed with these opinions, with one player mentioning: “Once you see it, it’s 90% the same plan. There is the same discreet spot on the left side.”
One comment even included a side-by-side comparison of their plans, with the right sides of the cards looking the most similar. Raid featured a round area with a statue in the middle, which appears to have been transformed into an interior area of the resort that overlooks the pool.
Activision listed 6 Star as a brand new map and didn’t mention that it was a revision of an already existing map. However, players are clearly convinced that it is at least inspired by Raid.
Regardless, the community is impressed with how this map looks and is excited to see a “new version of Raid,” which hasn’t appeared since BOCW, make a return, albeit unofficially..
