    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.
