“Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3” gameplay

The gameplay of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III is similar to its predecessor, Modern Warfare II, as well as other games in the series. You can swipe to cancel just like before, and in the campaign, there are both linear missions and new “open combat missions” where you can choose how to complete your objectives. In multiplayer, all 16 Modern Warfare 2 maps are available from the start, and you can vote for the maps in the lobby. Player health has been increased, allowing for longer battles. The game also brings back the “red dot” minimap, so you can see enemies on your radar when they’re firing without a suppressor. There are familiar modes like Confirmed Kills and Hardpoint, as well as a new mode called Cutthroat that pits three teams of three players against each other. The game will feature artificial intelligence to monitor in-game behavior and report bad behavior. It will release a new multiplayer map and feature an open-world zombies mode where players can work together to complete objectives and fight zombies and AI-controlled enemies in the open map. The game also includes story missions that advance the narrative.
