Modern Warfare 3 Season 5: New Modes

In the upcoming Season 5, players can expect to see a variety of new game modes, including ones that will be introduced through events and others that will be released mid-season. These game modes will provide players with the opportunity to try out the latest additions to the game, such as the Spear and Torque 35.

The following modes are coming to the game:

  • Slam Deathmatch (In-Season)
    • Wrestle up your finest Finishing Moves in this spin on traditional Team Deathmatch. It’s still all about eliminations in Slam Deathmatch, but in this Mode, weapons can only down your enemies. To earn points, you must finish off opponents by hitting them with a Finishing Move
  • CoD Warrior (Launch)
    • Mini-games, anyone? COD Warrior is a new Mode that puts three teams of two to the test in a series of randomized quickfire mini-games. Every round wins one point, and the first team to reach five points takes the game.
  • Fishfection (Mid-season)
    • Avoid the hook in this slippery twist on Infected. Equipped with only the Compound Bow and Spear as your weapons in Fishfection, where it’s your goal to prevent getting eliminated by a bloodthirsty school of Fish Operators composed of previously fallen players.
  • Paintball (Mid-season)
    • We’re going painting! Paintball, played predominantly on small maps and in modes like Capture the Flag and Kill Confirmed, gives players increased movement abilities for the duration of the Mode and replaces all bullet impacts with paint splatters. That means every weapon is a one-shot kill, so take cover behind a bunker of choice and get ready for some quick-action painting.
  • Defuse or Destroy (Mid-season)
    • Expect an explosive twist on Search & Destroy at mid-season too! In this round-based objective mode, teams take turns attacking and defending bomb sites. The twist? This mode’s rounds start with a bomb already planted in one of two possible locations, putting a literal ticking time bomb into play as teams alternate to defend and defuse.

Modern Warfare 3 Season 5: WWE Collaboration

Season 5 of MW3 will feature a collaboration with WWE, in which popular wrestlers will be added to the game as Operators. Players will have the opportunity to choose from a roster that includes Rey Mysterio, Rhea Ripley (Mami), and Cody Rhodes.

In-store bundles will be available for both Cody Rhodes and Rey Mysterio, while Rhea Ripley will be featured in the Battle Pass.
