Although the game is making some interesting changes to the usual formula, like some first-time tweaks to the Zombies mode, Modern Warfare 3's best upgrades may be found in a game mode that's completely new.
With Modern Warfare 3 ringing in the 20th anniversary of the Call of Duty franchise, there is a sizable weight on the game's shoulders. As one of the most successful first-person shooter franchises of all time, Call of Duty has given many gamers years of great memories, especially when it comes to the multiplayer gameplay that the franchise is so well-known for. Although the campaigns in the Call of Duty games can be just as fun for some players, the franchise has truly shined when it comes to a multiplayer experience. Modern Warfare 3 has high expectations from many players of the games, and the new Cutthroat mode that is being introduced could help bring Modern Warfare 3 to new heights.
Cutthroat Could Be a Game Changer For Modern Warfare 3
Modern Warfare 3 has promised various improvements and upgrades to classic Call of Duty mechanics, but one of the most exciting bits of news to be released about Modern Warfare 3 is the game's new Cutthroat mode. Introducing a new game mode can sometimes warrant a skeptical view, but Cutthroat mode sounds like a great new take on Call of Duty's multiplayer. For those who are expecting a Call of Duty installment with the same straightforward multiplayer matches as usual, Cutthroat mode may be the twist that makes the games feel fresh again.
Instead of the usual multiplayer match that pits two teams against each other, Cutthroat mode is a 3v3v3 match, which is an incredibly exciting new approach to Modern Warfare 3's beloved multiplayer formula. Not only does this flip a multiplayer match on its head, but it will likely present a fun new challenge for players. Cutthroat will drop each of the three teams into the map in a triangle formation with the objective of either eliminating all the opponents or capturing the overtime flag in order to win.
When playing in Cutthroat mode, the three teams will spawn in proximity to one another, which will allow for matches to become action-packed and intense quickly. As if three teams facing each other isn't challenging enough, Cutthroat is also a one-life mode, so players really have to be on high alert in order to come out on top. Modern Warfare 3's changes to certain modes have some fans wondering if they can be properly pulled off, but Cutthroat being a completely new mode gives it the edge of being something truly fresh for players to look forward to.
There are various major changes coming to Modern Warfare 3 that will likely set the game apart from other Modern Warfare entries, but Cutthroat mode could truly be a game changer for the franchise. Since Call of Duty's 20th anniversary arrives just in time for the release of Modern Warfare 3, there is a lot of mounting anticipation from many of the franchise's fans.
Modern Warfare 3 isn't just another Call of Duty release; it's a major achievement for the franchise. There are only a few gaming franchises that have been awarded the privilege of having true staying power, and the Call of Duty games have achieved something truly impressive. Although there is still about until Modern Warfare 3's release, the introduction of Cutthroat shows that the franchise is looking to evolve in order to make exciting new multiplayer experiences.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 launches on November 10 for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X.
