Modern Warfare 4's newest map is actually older than the Gen Z & Alpha teens who will play it

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4's upcoming 6v6 map, Backstab, is actually a remake of the 2005 map Burgundy from Call of Duty 2. This revelation comes from a mere screenshot shared by fans, who noticed the striking similarity between the two maps. The new map is set to release on November 6, 2024. Backstab is older than the teenagers who will be playing it, which is a rather surprising fact.

Several people noticed this similarity around the same time, with Reddit user wizward64 providing helpful visuals. Despite being a relatively unknown map, Burgundy is remembered for its desaturated green grass and beige brickwork, which still looks attractive 21 years later. The layouts of both maps are nearly identical, though Backstab takes place in either Russia or North Korea, with snowy scenery.
