Over the years, Call Of Duty has tried a lot of new things, some of which players liked and some of which they didn’t. Some of the design choices for Modern Warfare 2 were risky, like getting rid of the Ninka perk, taking red dots off mini-maps, and letting you cancel a slide.
When people complained, Sledgehammer Games listened and put these things back in Modern Warfare 3. This fix built trust and showed that the developers were listening to what their player base wanted.

But the addition of doors to multiplayer games is a more controversial change that has stuck around from earlier Call of Duty games. In MW (2019), there are more doors on maps than in previous games. These doors could be opened and closed, and players could also look through them.
From the outside, this might seem like a small detail, but it became a point of contention during gameplay. Some players set up camp behind doors or put claymores or other traps on the other side.
Rumors claims that the MW2 2009 maps remastered in #MW3 may have doors, like how we've seen on maps in the recent Modern Warfare games.

Many players hoped that Modern Warfare 2 would be the last Call of Duty game with doors because of what they learned from the feedback on Modern Warfare 2019. But recent leaks have made people worry even more.
On August 21, a report from CharlieIntel, which was based on information from TheMW2Ghost, suggested that doors might come back to the remastered maps of Modern Warfare 2 for Modern Warfare 3.
Even though it’s smart to be sceptical of leaks, the fact that they could happen has made fans nervous. Comments from the community say what this idea is all about. One player said, “Just when we thought they were going to give us everything we wanted,” and another said, “They are obsessed with adding doors for no reason.”
Some people say that doors slow down the flow of matches. “They make the game take longer. With their claymores, people hide and camp behind doors. One player said, “It’s slow and boring.” This sums up a common complaint about doors, which is that they make play more passive and less interesting.
Still, MW2 added Drill Charges to try to find a good balance. This equipment sticks to things and sets off explosives on the other side. It could be used to stop people from camping behind doors. This new idea could be used in Modern Warfare 3.
In the end, whether doors come back or not, it’s clear that Sledgehammer Games wants to keep the gameplay interesting. It’s still not clear how the next game in this popular series will strike a balance between new ideas and what players want.
