Modern Warfare 4's Backstab map is a Call of Duty 2 remake, arriving November 6
Backstab, a 6v6 map, closely mirrors the 2005 Call of Duty 2 map Burgundy, though it trades the French WW2 setting for snow.
Backstab, an upcoming 6v6 map for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4, is set to arrive on November 6, and players have spotted that its layout is nearly identical to the Call of Duty 2 map Burgundy. The comparison circulated after a Reddit user posted visuals of the two maps side by side, as reported by pcgamer.com.
Burgundy, which first appeared in Call of Duty 2 in 2005, was a small map built around two two-story buildings overlooking a central courtyard. Backstab follows the same arrangement, according to the comparison.
The setting is where the two diverge. Backstab is snowy and appears to be set in Russia or North Korea, rather than the WW2 French location of Burgundy.
The map is one of several in the series to revisit an older layout. In 2022, the Modern Warfare 2 map Taraq was a remake of Call of Duty 1's Neuville, and the 2019 Modern Warfare map Suldal Harbor reworked Call of Duty 1's Harbor.
