This small, chaotic map drops you into the middle of a submarine bay. But if you're looking for something a bit bigger, hop into Haven, a KGB safehouse packed with nonstop Operator showdowns.

The Jay and Silent Bob Operators are the perfect fit. New Limited-Time modes Image via Activision In addition to Blazetown, Season 3 Reloaded will keep with the leafy tradition with the Joint Operations limited mode. Embark on a trippy extravaganza in five modes: Head Stash, Inhalation, Hotbox, Very High Target, and Munchies. Each mode is a different take on classics like Team Deathmatch, Kill Confirmed, and Hardpoint, but with a smoking twist. Zombies fans can look forward to a limited-time mode launching alongside Joint Operations. In Zombies Snacks, you'll unlock unique abilities that go beyond the usual mystical tools like Pack-a-Punch and Wonder Weapons. Although there's not much else for this undead mode, we can at least get ready for the mid-season Directed Mode and the Ray Gun Mark 2's debut in all maps. Black Ops 6 isn't the only one shaking things up. Warzone is rolling out High Trip Resurgence and Massive Resurgence, two limited-time modes that will have you on the edge of your seat. In High Trip, you're dropped into the chaos with a pre-determined loadout and powerful boosts, setting you up for intense action right from the start. Meanwhile, Massive Resurgence cranks up the heat with a colossal battle of 120 Operators. Only the last team standing will claim victory.

New additions like this always make the collection better. Next is Vendetta, a new buff for the Recon perk. With this upgrade, you'll briefly mark the location of the enemy who killed you after respawning. Take them out, and you'll earn bonus points for pulling off a successful vendetta. We're also getting a Mini-Rocket Conversion for the Goblin Mk2 7.62.
