summary
The world stands on the brink, and Makarov is intent on bringing civilization to its knees. In this darkest hour, are you willing to do what is necessary?
Co-developed by Infinity Ward and Sledgehammer Games, Modern Warfare 3 delivers a full assault on gamers' senses, including an intense single-player campaign that picks up immediately following the events of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 and escalates into World War 3, as well as groundbreaking upgrades to the beloved Special Ops like the all-new Survival Mode. Special Ops serves as the perfect springboard to Modern Warfare 3's re-imagined multiplayer, featuring the series' trademark visceral gun-on-gun combat, a revamped pointstreak system with the introduction of "Strike Packages," devastating new modes like "Kill Confirmed" and other gameplay enhancements, new features and a bevy of new weapons, equipment, and perks.
features
- In Campaign mode, engage enemy forces in New York, Paris, Berlin and other attack sites across the globe in intense cinematic combat.
- In Multiplayer mode, killstreaks have been redesigned, new game modes are being introduced, new perks have been added, and a gun progression system evolves your weapons over time.
- Special Ops mode returns with a bevy of additions, including 16 new objective-based missions and the all-new Survival Mode. Team up online, locally, or play solo and face endless waves of attacking enemies throughout every multiplayer map.
- Purchase and customize your weapons, air support, equipment and abilities to stand up against increasingly difficult forces and land a spot on the leaderboards.
- Earn experience and rank up with the newly implemented progression system. The higher the rank, the more weapons, air support, and gear armories you will have available to customize so you can change your tactics on the fly.
- Weapons now rank up through use, unlocking additional attachments, reticules, camos and the new proficiency category. Weapon Proficiencies allow you to specialize your weapons with helpful attributes, such as Kick for reduced recoil and Impact for deeper penetration through hard surfaces.
- Along with the return of the fan favorites, several new game modes have been introduced. Collect dog tags from killed players in Kill Confirmed mode and prevent the other team from grabbing yours. In Team Defender mode, grab the flag and protect the flag carrier to increase your team's score. Along with six new private match modes, multiplayer opens up a variety of entirely new scenarios.
