The Modern Warfare 3 Season 1 release date is pretty close, promising a content drop in the form of new and returning maps, game modes like the 2v2 Gunfight, a whole new act for zombies, and a load of other stuff. There's even more set to arrive with the mid-season update as well, such as the launch of Ranked Play, even more modes, and a warlord boss for MWZ.
If you're hoping to finish off your remaining zombies missions in time for the new act, you might want to know where to find the Essence of Aether locations or defeat the Megabomb. If you're instead planning to check out zombies when the new season arrives, some MWZ tips probably won't go amiss. Either way, here's when Modern Warfare 3 Season 1 releases in your timezone.
