While we know that the Over Winter version of Docks is coming toCall of Duty: Modern Warfareon December 18, there are still some unanswered questions about exactly what the map will entail. For example, we don’t know how long the Over Winter version of Docks will be available in the game, and we also don’t know if it will be added at the expense of the original Docks.Call of Duty: Modern Warfaretends to remove some content when something new is added, so it wouldn’t be all that surprising to see the Over Winter map completely replace the original version of Docks for a short while.
