Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 Campaign: Open Combat Missions
This innovative campaign mechanic empowers players to navigate the narrative in a multitude of ways, aligning with their personal preferences. Open Combat Missions allow players to have the freedom to approach challenges in various manners. Whether players enjoy stealth missions or going in guns blazing, this allows them to choose how they want to approach each mission.
The gameplay reveal trailer puts players into Operation 627 with Alpha Team. As part of their mission, players are tasked with penetrating enemy operations while utilizing an array of tools such as night vision goggles and rope launchers. A notable highlight is when players initiate a prison riot within the gulag, taking place at night, forcing players to use the dark as cover.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 is a significant chapter in the franchise's history, as it marks the first instance of launching a direct sequel in the year following its predecessor.
