Modern Warfare 3 Afghan Overview
Prepare for combat in the unforgiving terrains of Afghanistan with the multiplayer map Afghan, featured in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 and Call of Duty Online. This battlefield, also revisited in a remastered version in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, unfolds around the wreckage of a downed C-130 Hercules plane in a vast desert valley near Site Hotel Bravo.
Desert Canyons and C-130 Wreckage
Afghan offers a diverse combat experience, blending open desert landscapes with strategic points around the crashed C-130. The map boasts various combat environments, ranging from long-distance firefights in the East and West areas, featuring cliffs and bunkers ideal for snipers, to intense close-quarters engagements within the cave inside the mountain.
Strategic Hotspots and Flanking Routes
Afghan's circular walkways and design patterns provide multiple flanking routes, making it an ideal battleground for Team Deathmatch. Players can navigate pathways around bunkers, caves, and opium poppy fields, offering diverse tactical opportunities. The map's unique circular layout encourages dynamic and unpredictable encounters.
Sniper's Paradise
Afghan has earned its reputation as a sniper's paradise, with long sight lines and ample camouflage. Snipers often dominate the elevated positions, using Thermal Scopes to exploit the stark contrast between the white desert and the surroundings. Sandstorms periodically sweep across the map, reducing visibility and adding an extra layer of challenge.
Secret Vantage Points and Tactical Opportunities
The map features "secret" vantage points, including a ledge below the clifftop and a small ledge above the cave mouth. These spots provide strategic advantages, especially for those using Commando Pro. The bunkers at either end of the map serve as excellent locations for sneaking up on unsuspecting snipers, adding an element of surprise to the battlefield.
Adaptability in the Storm
Afghan introduces dynamic weather elements with periodic sandstorms that flare up, reducing visibility even with thermal scopes. Players must adapt to the changing conditions, adding an unpredictable element to the battlefield. The pile of mattresses beneath the clifftop provides a unique strategy, allowing players to survive falls without needing specific perks.
Legacy Continues in Modern Warfare 3
The legacy of Afghan extends into Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, where a remastered version ensures a new generation of soldiers can experience the challenges and thrills of this war-torn desert oasis. Whether you're a sniper, a close-quarters specialist, or a master of tactical flanking, Afghan promises a dynamic and immersive theater of war.
