Season 3 brings new modes, weapons and components
New modes in Season 3 of CoD MW3
What new modes does Season 3 bring? With Season 3, four new modes will be added to the shooter, two of which will come at the beginning and two with the mid-season update:
Capture the Flag (coming at the start of the season): An objective game mode in which two teams compete against each other, with elimination being only part of the plan: the actual tactic is to steal the opponent’s flag and bring it back to their home base , while simultaneously defending the same base and your own flag from the enemy. Offensive and defensive skills are required at the same time to win the game.
One in the Chamber (coming at the start of the season): In this free-for-all mode, each player receives a single bullet at the start and an additional bullet for each kill they achieve. At the start everyone has three lives. Enemies killed in one hit lose a life, while the successful shooter gains another bullet. Melee attacks are also an option.
Minefield (Midseason): Different multiplayer modes, but with mines. Minefield has the same rules as the mode in question, but with the addition: If you defeat an enemy player, their corpse drops a proximity mine. This mine cannot be picked up and is deadly for the opposing team.
Escort (Midseason): Two teams – both with unlimited respawns – play against each other on different maps, with one side protecting a vehicle to help it reach its destination. The other team’s goal is to disable the vehicle by any means necessary.
