New map releases are always great fun; they are uncharted territory that allows players to dive in and exploit any interesting bugs, changes, or even Easter Eggs. MW3's new Growhouse map just dropped and players have already found something interesting beneath the surface – let's take a look at the surprise.
Growhouse Map Surprise from MW3 Season 3
Reddit user Demon5572 jumped into a private match to explore Growhouse only to find something interesting unexpectedly. In a short video showing them swimming far out of bounds and crossing the terrain, they find themselves below the map. After a short period, the water texture ends and a new face appears.
The odd picture taken is one taken on the edge of a pier, complete with a small lighthouse, and a rocky shore that turns into a long beach. No matter how hard Demon5572 tries, they can't change the perspective of the image. This is due to the nature of the image itself. Known as HDRi, it is a spherical image designed to enhance the lighting of a scene, which is standard practice and can point to other maps having this type of secret.
Comments from the community range from the hilarious, 'Ah, that's where I left bridge.jpg' (from user Alexgamertv689) to the very insightful, 'It's called HDRI. They probably found a good one and took it down not thinking you'd break a limit and see it' (from user ph4tcat).
Many others comment on the nice find and the interesting lesson on lighting for a video game map. With this discovery, players can start revisiting old maps to find other secrets that were hidden in their favorite maps.
