As it is a beta, obviously, players aren’t getting to enjoy the whole game. But as the beta comes online for everyone to get into, there might be some confusion regarding what it includes. If you’re excited to hop into the Modern Warfare 3 beta, these are the game modes you’ll be able to enjoy.
All MW3 Beta Game Modes
The MW3 beta lacks any way of choosing a mode you want, so instead, you have to pick from either the Ground War (that is only that mode), Mosh Pit, or Cutthroat playlists.
Mosh Pit includes 6v6-only versions of the following modes:
- Kill Confirmed
- Domination
- Hardpoint
- Search and Destroy (dropping Oct. 13)
- Team Deathmatch
After every completed game, you are once again put into matchmaking, so which mode you will get is always random. The new Cutthroat mode also has its own section, which is a 3v3v3 combat match that can either be won as the last team standing or when capturing the overtime flag. Ground War, on the other hand, returned last year with MW2 and offers two maps that players will get plenty of time to explore as the beta period lasts.
Regardless of which set you choose to play, you’ll end up with mostly the same amount of XP needed to unlock custom loadouts at level four. This isn’t expected to be all the beta will have, either. Considering the MW2 beta added content as it went on, that will likely be the case this time around as well.
For the moment, these are all the game modes available for those taking part in the MW3 beta. It will last until Oct. 16 at 10 a.m. PT. We’ll be covering the beta extensively, so keep an eye on our front page and check out the links below of what we have already covered.
