Modern Warfare 3 has just hit the shelves, showcasing a diverse array of game modes. While the campaign has faced criticism in early reviews, the title offers a multitude of modes for players to explore and enjoy.

Modern Warfare 3 is basically a direct sequel to Modern Warfare 2 which was released in 2022. Therefore, players can expect a lot of similarities with regard to playable modes and how the game functions.

However, it is a new title, which means, there is a bunch of new content and players want to learn more on what to expect from the game later on. The developers have already confirmed the maps that will be released and it is safe to say that there will be several new bundles to choose from.

Here are the confirmed game modes for Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3.
