Modern Warfare 3 has a plethora of modes to keep you entertained for months to come. The Beta showed off some new changes alongside expected returns of the classic modes we have come to love. Thanks to the Call of Duty blogpost though, we now know all the game modes launching with Modern Warfare 3 on Nov. 10.

3v3v3 Mode

3v3v3 is a relatively new game mode concept that breaks the traditional mold of the Call of Duty formula and introduces some much-needed spice. The general tactics used across other game types are almost irrelevant with this change, so players will need to adapt to perform well.
