Just like in DMZ on Modern Warfare 2, you can play Modern Warfare 3 Zombies solo.

The only problem is the fact that it will be much more challenging as a lone wolf, especially if you dive deeper into the threat zones. Luckily, you’ll still have the chance to team up with other players whenever you need help with a particular task.

A Modern Warfare 3 Intels Drop reveal has indicated a “secret” to help solo players last longer in battle. Although there hasn’t been any indication of what this actually means, Twitter user Geeky Pastimes seems to have found it with a temporary ally. You’ll be able to recruit one of the hellhounds lingering around the map, and they will assist you with a zombie kills for a limited amount of time.

If you find one of these doghouses, you must place a Chunk of Flesh down to befriend the companion, allowing you to earn the Deadman’s Best Friend achievement. You may be able to find alternative methods to make MW3 Zombies solo play more accessible, and you can always practice around Low Threat areas to develop additional strategies.
