Why Did Infinity Ward Remove Drainage And Al-Raab Airbase From Modern Warfare Multiplayer?
Infinity Ward has finally addressed the decision to pull Drainage and Al-Raab Airbase from Modern Warfare multiplayer.
According to the studio, these maps aren’t ready just yet and need more attention before being readded to the game.
We recently released two new maps to Modern Warfare, ‘Drainage’ and ‘Al-Raab Airbase’ which were available in private match. We temporarily removed them as they aren’t quite ready and need a bit more love before returning. We’ll update soon on when they’ll be back!

When Black Ops Cold War and Call of Duty: Warzone Season Two Reloaded went live, players noticed that Infinity Ward added three new maps to Modern Warfare.
- Drainage (Gunfight)
- Al-Raab Airbase (6v6)
- Killhouse (a remake of the classic Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare map)
With the focus on Black Ops Cold War and Warzone, Modern Warfare doesn’t get too many content updates these days. So, these new maps were a pleasant surprise. Even if two of them (Drainage and Al-Raab Airbase) were only accessible via private matches.
However, just a few days later, both Drainage and Al-Raab Airbase were silently removed from the rotation.
What’s Up With The Sykov, CX-9 SMG, or the RAAL LMG?
Alongside the two multiplayer maps, there is more unreleased content for Modern Warfare and Warzone worth talking about from Operator Bundles to new weapons. These new weapons include the Sykov pistol, the CX-9 SMG, and the RAAL LMG.
A few days ago, notable Call of Duty insider TailsDoll553 posted possible release dates for a variety of bundles in Warzone.
Although the leaker couldn’t find any release dates for the CX-9, RAAL, or the Soap Operator Bundle, they did state that the Sykov could potentially arrive on April 15th with a blueprint of the gun included in the Sparks Operator Bundle.

Why cant cold war be played from a disc anymore on ps4 and why is activision not trying to fix it. I feel like ive bought the game for no reason at all. I feel cheated out of my money.
I AM A LONG TIME CALL OF DUTY FAN HAVE EVERY CALL OF DUTY GAMES WHY DONT YOU ADD VR MAPS TO CALL OF DUTY AND MADDEN WARFARE IT WOULD BE SO COOL
Please make them available on Team Death match etc. Modern Warfare is without a doubt, so much better than Cold War. I’m a massive MW fan, I’m 62 yrs of age and I play online nearly every day.
They haven’t fixed other issues with the game like hackers glitches and so forth….but the maps they pulled r not ready on that makes sense ??
It’d be nice if they would address the issue of the game crashing in most all multi-player modes except for shoot the ship.
And also the issue of the game freezing on a black screen at the end of a warzone win and it not being counted as a victory on the records listing.
(Xbox one- consol)
I wonder if there gonna be any good I hope they ain’t trash as we’ve waiting for them for ages
Why is it that I keep getting the DEV error code on modern warfare before it loads any map on multiplayer ?
Need to fix the glitch I can’t play certain maps after this last update it kicks me out I can only play half of them now…
What I wanna know is WHY CAN I NOT PLAY SURVIVAL ANYMORE?!?!?!? I’m so pissed because that’s where I do 80% of my gameplay. Now that Cold War is out-they screwed up modern warfare. NOT FAIR PLAY.
