MW4 Shoot House: what changed and how to play it
Shoot House came back to Modern Warfare 4 on 6 November 2026, the launch day of Season 1. It is a reimagined 6v6 map for Core Multiplayer.
The new version sits on the rugged terrain of North Korea during a snowfall. Veterans of the map will know its layout at once.
Here is how to play it now:
- Open Multiplayer. Shoot House is 1 of 4 maps that joined the rotation with Season 1.

| Center tunnels | Middle | Push through the tunnels toward the Center |
| Containers | North side | Move over and around the Containers |
2 buildings look down on the lanes: the Hospital and the Apartment. Take them for the dominant view of the map.
