MW3 redesigns fan-favorite Vanguard map but players are split
Nathan Warby
The Modern Warfare 3 Season 2 Reloaded update marks the return of the fan-favorite Vanguard map Das Haus, but players are split over its new look that closely resembles a classic Counter-Strike arena.
As is the case with each major patch, multiplayer fans are also getting another map added to the pool. This time, Das Haus from CoD Vanguard is making a return, after it quickly became a fan-favorite in Sledgehammer’s last release.
It arrives in Modern Warfare 3 with a brand-new look that has left players divided, with some even claiming it looks similar to an iconic map from the Counter-Strike series.
While the original version of Das Haus was a tightly packed indoor map, the remaster removes the roof and places it at the top of a skyscraper “in the vicinity of Highrise.” It’s also been given a fresh coat of paint, making it much brighter and more vibrant.
Responding to a CharlieIntel X post, plenty of MW3 players quickly pointed out the similarities between the new Das Haus and Counter-Strike’s Vertigo. The classic map also takes place on a skyscraper that’s under construction, appearing in the original Counter-Strike, CS:GO, and now CS2.
However, not everyone was impressed with the new look, as many players claimed they would have preferred a straight port of the original.
“Is this vertigo from Counterstrike what the f**k is this LOL,” said one response, while another added: “This is trash, vanguard map was so [much] better.”
Meanwhile, others were more positive about the overhaul: “Aight the reskin looks pretty dope ngl,” argued another fan, before others added that it looks “awesome” and they’ll be returning to multiplayer just to experience it.
Modern Warfare 3 players will be able to try it out for themselves when Season 2 Reloaded drops on March 6, which also brings the Godzilla x Kong crossover and the new Juggermosh mode.
