MW3 Season 1 game modes

  • Gunfight (At launch)
  • All or Nothing (At launch)
  • Vortex (LTM, Mid-Season)

Gunfight

If you love high-pressure game modes with lots of fast-paced action, then you’re going to love this mode. It’s a fan-favourite mode that gives you enough room to test out your weaponry skills and spread out with your squad as you strive for the win. Like many of the modes in Warzone, Gunfight will see two teams clash with each other in a round-based match without respawns. Also, each player will be assigned the same randomized Loadout at the start of each round.

According to Activision in a blog post, “The assigned Loadout changes every two rounds, and you never know what you’ll get; you may be trading shots with Battle Rifles one round and then rushing in with Shotguns the next. In other words, take what you’re given and make it worse,” which makes Gunfight a thrilling, yet challenging mode. You and your squad just need to be the first side to win six rounds to become victorious. 

All or Nothing

This mode will see you deployed with nothing except Throwing Knives. You will have no ammo or any other weapon but you can put your melee skills to good use. The good thing about All or Nothing is that it’ll allow you to activate the Scavenger Perk which in turn will see you gather ammo pickups for your primary weapon. To be victorious in this mode you’ll have to secure at least 20 kills in a round. 

Vortex

This is a free-for-all game mode where one player will spawn with the one-shot kill Ray Gun, a popular Wonder Weapon in Zombies mode. The challenge here is putting down the player wielding this infamous firearm. Whichever player manages to eliminate the Operator with the Ray Gun will become the new owner of the, “Otherworldly pistol.” Vortex also takes place on three remixed Multiplayer maps: Satan’s Quarry, Sporeyard, and Tetanus. 

So that’s what we have for you on the new modes coming to MW3 Season 1. While you await the release of the new season, best go over our MW3 multiplayer tips and tricks as well as our MW3 zombies tips and tricks on surviving horses of the undead.
