Normally, if something you were doing was “melting your brain,” you would stop doing that thing as soon as humanly possible. ForModern Warfare 3players, one game mode has them so addicted that they can’t stop, even if they wanted to: Small Map Moshpit.
We’ve all been there. You start playing a game and it consumes you. It’s all you think about.Fortnitewhen it was released,Warzonein 2020 both dominated my every waking thought, and in 2024, many players have the same relationship withSmall Map Moshpit.
The mode eliminates all of the game’s big maps, throwing you into battle on the smallest instead like Rust, Shipment, and Stash House. Whether you play it because you love the constant action it provides or see it as the best way to level up guns, it’s hard to stop once you start playing it.
If this sounds like you, don’t worry, you’re not alone. In a post on the officialMW3subreddit, a player named Jozeiik admitted that they had previously beenaddictedto the brain-melting mode, but urged people to “go back into a game mode that has a variety of maps,” saying that your “heart rate and blood pressure will decrease dramatically.”
Thankfully, there are no quitters in theMW3community, with players immediately declining, dropping the classic: “Just one more game, I can quit anytime!” Me too buddy, me too.
“Nice try intern. Give us Shipment 24/7 cowards,” wroteanother, while one big Small Map Moshpitfanlabeled the playlist as their “home.”
I must admit that much like the last Redditor, Small Map Moshpit has become myCall of Dutyhome too. Originally, I only played the small maps to rank up some guns I was struggling with, but the more I got spawn-trapped on Shipment, and the more I ran into complete mayhem on Rust, the more addicted I became.
Now, if I boot upMW3, I’m going straight to whatever the small map playlist is. I don’t even look at the rest anymore, it simply doesn’t happen. After 17 years of playingCall of Duty, my experience has boiled down to the most chaotic one possible. The mayhem is everything to me.
Don’t worry though, like the person above, I can quit at any time. I promise!
