Known as one of the franchise’s most iconic and popular maps, Highrise appeared in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2.

Fans in the comments immediately agreed with many saying that the map should be added to Call of Duty: Modern Warfare’s Multiplayer game mode as well.

However, fan excitement has driven multiple updates in the past, and if enough players request it, the developer may make an exception for the iconic locale.
