Gameplay

Like its predecessors, Modern Warfare 3 is a first-person-shooter. Modern Warfare 3 will run at least at 60 frames per second. Activision confirmed at Gamescom 2011, that Modern Warfare 3 on the PC will have dedicated servers support.

Campaign

The player assumes the role of various characters during the single-player campaign, changing perspectives throughout the progression of the story. Each level is a mission that features a series of objectives that are displayed on the heads up display, which marks the direction and distance towards and from such objectives. Damage to the player is shown by blood shown on the screen. The player’s health regenerates as time passes. Tasks vary in their requirements, having the player arrive at a particular checkpoint, eliminate enemies in a specified location, stand their ground to defend an objective, or plant explosive charges on an enemy installation. The player will be accompanied by troops who cannot be issued orders.

Infinity Ward revealed that Modern Warfare 3 will feature a new Survival Mode. Survival Mode features one to two players fighting endless waves of enemies with each wave getting more difficult. Despite being much compared to the World at War Nazi Zombies mode, enemies do not spawn at fixed locations like the zombies did, but instead at tactical positions based on the current location of the player. The mode will be available on all multiplayer maps in the game and in the mode, players can earn “cash” for items such as weapons, upgrades and ammo.

Multiplayer

Infinity Ward has recently revealed that it has revamped the entire killstreak reward system. They have stated that while Treyarch  had slightly improved the system, it was not enough to make the system feel perfect. Along with revamping the entire killstreak reward system, Infinity Ward will also be revamping the entire ranking and unlocks system. Unlike Call Of Duty : Black Ops, Modern Warfare 3 will not use a currency system. Infinity Ward has also revealed that they are removing annoyances that make players rely less on skill and more on perks. To do this, they are removing certain perks that give players a power advantage over others who do not possess the same perk. ‘Quick-scoping’ has also returned, having been absent in Black Ops.Unlike Black Ops, Modern Warfare 3 will not feature dive to prone or “dolphin dive” due to various balancing issues.  Infinity Ward revealed that to fix bugs and glitches, they will not use full updates but instead Treyarch’s hot fix system to fix problems much quicker.
