A Modern Warfare 3 map from the Season 2 update has been branded an 'instant classic' by players.

Season 2 of Sledgehammer Games' most recent release came with three new battlegrounds for players to master in addition to a battle pass containing everything from The Walking Dead's Rick Grimes to the RAM-9 SMG that's already making an impact on the meta.

One of the new maps features a Breaking Bad-themed Easter Egg and as players continue to master its layout, many are branding it the next best small map rivalling the likes of Shipment and Rust.

After loading into Stash House, Reddit user ivHoudini branded the map an 'instant classic' thanks to its often chaotic action and fast pace.

Despite the map only just arriving to the ever-expanding pool, Stash House has quickly earned a reputation as one of the more popular small maps on offer in Modern Warfare 3 multiplayer. One fan says: "Great small map with tons of heady spots. I really like it." Another adds: "I love it. Chaotic like Shipment. Nice having another small map to play on."

On the other hand, many aren't fans of the newest addition. One player thinks: "People like this map? My god, I hate it. The spawn deaths somehow manage to be worse than Shipment."

Despite a few frustrations with Stash House, the majority of players are enjoying having an alternative to Shipment to earn kills quickly along with completing any camouflage challenges for their favourite weaponry. Sledgehammer Games often acknowledges player feedback meaning the door is open for potential changes to spawn logic to improve the flow of the map.

For now, its arrival has proven extremely popular and could be the catalyst for even more chaotic maps to arrive as part of future seasonal updates. Let's hope there are some larger maps in the works to create balance to suit everyone.
