Modern Warfare 3andWarzoneSeason 3 Reloaded is finally here, and if you want to jump into the action the moment it launches, you need to know the exact release date and start time.
We’re right in the middle ofMW3andWarzoneSeason 2, and whileSeason 4 is coming, there’s one last major update to come in the form of Season 3 Reloaded. The Reloaded patches are usually the last time we’ll get new content for the season, with the developers then switching their full focus to the next season.
MW3andWarzoneSeason 3 Reloaded launches on Wednesday, Jul 24, 2025.
MW3andWarzoneSeason 3 Reloaded start time: Countdown

MW3andWarzoneSeason 3 Reloaded early patch notes
Thanks to the Season 3 roadmap, we already know what to expect when the patch goes live on May 1. A new weapon, two new 6v6 maps, and new modes headline the patch’s additions.
BAL-27 assault rifle returns
Controversially,Advanced Warfareis one of my favoriteCall of Dutytitles ever, so you can only imagine how hyped I am to see the BAL-27 arrive in the Season 3 Reloaded patch.
According to Activision, the weapon features “top-loading with a reasonably rapid ammo swap,” and will “shred at closer ranges,” so could be a useful weapon in smaller maps.
Checkpoint and Grime 6v6 maps
On top of that, two new maps will also arrive inMW3multiplayer: Checkpoint, which is a small slice ofWarzone‘s Rebirth Island, and Grime which is set in an abandoned dock in London.
Three new multiplayer game modes
Escort, Minefield, and a new Vortex playlist are all joining the action with the Reloaded patch too, with the Minefield mode sounding like a lot of fun. Players who die will drop an unmovable mine, so the more enemies you kill, the harder it will be to get around the map.
Escort will see teams escort an MAW as it moves through the map, almost identical toOverwatch‘s Payload.
