Recurring MW3 seasonal eventsAs the Call of Duty schedule is known for its dynamic nature, it's always a surprise to see what seasonal events will be included in MW3. However, two events that have consistently made their mark are Halloween celebrations and CODMas.The Haunting - OctoberImage via ActivisionHalloween events are relatively common in Call of Duty, so it's safe to say that there will be another one for MW3. It will likely be tied to the Haunting, an undead mode previously in MW2. The event presents a more sinister take on current maps and game modes that are to die for. CODMas - DecemberImage via ActivisionCODMas has become a staple in the Call of Duty universe as players tune into a winter-themed event. This celebration will include new modes, maps, rewards, and challenges. For example, players can participate in an all-out snowfight or eliminate Santa Gnaws.
