MW4 Maps List With All 12 Core Launch Maps
MW4 maps at launch add up to 20 multiplayer maps: 12 Core 6v6 maps, three Ground War maps, four classic Gunfight maps, and a modular arena called Kill Block. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 lands on October 23, and these Modern Warfare 4 maps are what you'll be learning on day one.
Want to skip the early grind? GameBoost sells Call of Duty Accounts and CoD Points for the new season. Below, you'll find every map, where it's set, and what you can play on it.

MW4 Kill Block reshuffles three modular sections every round, with 500+ combinations.

Season 1 adds Zodiac to Warzone Resurgence and brings the DMZ map Hajin to Battle Royale.
All 12 MW4 Maps in Core 6v6
Activision's official MW4 multiplayer breakdown lists 12 Core maps for 6v6, and half of them were playable in the beta. Five of them are set in Korea.
Map | Setting | In the beta |
|---|---|---|
Cachette | Wine warehouse and hidden armory near a French rail terminal | Yes |
Coal | Old Soviet coal processing plant in remote mountains | No |
Lithium | Lithium refinery turned combat zone in rural Mexico | Yes |
Lotus | South Korean fishing village after an amphibious assault | Yes |
Mumbai | Fugitive's hideout around a Victorian market | No |
Munition | North Korean command facility with a munitions depot | No |
Nautical | South Korean ferry leaving a conflict zone at dawn | No |
Reactor U92 | South Korean reactor complex in meltdown | No |
Rooftops | Snowy rooftops of a New York hotel | Yes |
Sentry | Russian military base in whiteout conditions | No |
Silkworm | Dense South Korean shopping district | Yes |
Transit 213 | Overgrown bus parking lot in western India | Yes |
Mumbai has the story hook. Price hunts Makarov's people through the city in the campaign, and our MW4 campaign review covers that chase.
Shipment arrives on October 27, four days after launch, on a Russian harbor squeezed between the water and concrete apartment blocks. Our best MW4 loadouts guide has close-range setups for it.
How MW4 Kill Block Builds a New Map Every Round
MW4 Kill Block is Activision's name for the Westbridge Training Facility, a live-fire arena built from three sections: two outer areas and one central combat space. The sections swap between rounds and land in random spots each match.
Activision counts more than 500 combinations. Some sections are brand new, and others borrow from Crash, Highrise, and Shoot House, which gives longtime players familiar sightlines. Weather ranges from clear skies to rain and snow.
At launch, Kill Block hosts Gunfight in 3v3 and 10v10, and the launch patch notes promise 6v6 modes after launch. Classic 2v2 Gunfight also returns on four small maps: Cafe, Library, NYC, and Smuggler.
I'd expect less map memorization here and more reacting on the fly. A pre-aim that works on one layout can leave you exposed on the next.
Ground War and Combat Outpost on Three Maps
Ground War runs 32v32 at launch on Imjin Farmland, Wolves Stadium and Forest. Imjin Farmland covers the rural outskirts of Hajin, Wolves Stadium sits in its dense center, and Forest fills the wooded hillside between them.
Its new mode, Combat Outpost, is Activision's take on Domination at Ground War scale. Captured Outposts become new spawn points, and reinforcing them earns team rewards such as a Local UAV, a JLTV airdrop, and a Light Tank.
Imjin Farmland and Wolves Stadium were in the beta, and Forest is new. Hajin doubles as the DMZ map, so Combat Outpost teaches you its streets before you deploy there.
Warzone Gets Zodiac and Hajin in Season 1
Season 1 adds two maps to Warzone. Zodiac is a new Resurgence map built by Beenox, with a train running through it.
Hajin, the DMZ map, is also coming to Battle Royale. Activision hasn't dated Season 1 yet, and the new version of Warzone waits for it.
Your camo grind on the MW4 multiplayer maps stays useful. The launch patch notes say camo progress is shared across Multiplayer and DMZ, and Warzone joins once Season 1 starts. If you want a head start, CoD Points top-up for the Season 1 Battle Pass will do it.
FAQs About MW4 Maps
Final Words
Korea carries this launch. Five Core maps sit on the peninsula, and Hajin covers DMZ, the Ground War maps, and, soon, Battle Royale. Kill Block is the wild card. With 500+ combinations, nobody will have it learned in week one, so new players start almost level with veterans there.
Shipment lands on October 27, and the launch patch notes say Infected and the new Possession mode arrive the following week for Halloween.
Which maps will you learn first? Start with the six Core maps that skipped the beta, where everyone goes in blind.
