Modern Warfare 3 Gameplay

"Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3" is a first-person shooter video game where players take on different roles in the story. The game's story is divided into three parts, called "Acts", with various missions in each. The player sees their objectives on the screen, like reaching a certain point or defeating enemies. The player's health recovers over time if they don't take damage. Missions range from reaching checkpoints to facing enemy groups.

There's a new mode called "Survival", where one or two players fight waves of enemies, which get harder each time. It's different from previous modes as enemies appear based on the player's location, not fixed spots. Players earn in-game cash for items like weapons, upgrades, and support, and can unlock more items with experience points earned by defeating enemies. Another mode, "Special Ops", returns from the previous game with different challenge missions.

In multiplayer, the Killstreak system has changed to Pointstreaks, where players earn points through various actions, not just kills. These points lead to rewards in three categories: Assault, Support, and Specialist. The game also introduced a new ranking and unlock system without using a currency. Players' main weapon levels up as they do, unlocking perks like attachments and reduced recoil. There's also an option to use "Hybrid Scopes" on weapons, allowing players to switch between magnified and regular views.

The game features new modes like "Kill Confirmed" where players collect enemy tags for points, and "Team Defender" where teams fight over a flag. Private matches have pre-made modes like "Infected" and "Gun Game". Additionally, players can create their own game modes.

The Special Ops mode includes a wave-based game called "Survival" where players defend against enemy waves, earning money for support options and unlock. The game also had an online service called "Call of Duty: Elite" for multiplayer features and statistics, but it was eventually shut down. Downloadable content provided extra maps and missions for players to enjoy.
