Sledgehammer Games has confirmed this Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 is getting a brand new game mode for the series called Cutthroat.
Announced during the CoD: Next event on October 5, the developer spent a few hours diving into everything there is to know about the highly anticipated multiplayer shooter, as well as other announcements for games like Call of Duty: Warzone mobile, which will start in early 2024.
We already knew that prior to the showcase Modern Warfare 3 would feature a total of 12 game modes, with 20 playable maps at launch – 16 of which come from Modern Warfare 2 (2009) – and 12 more all-new 6v6 core maps coming after launch.
To add to this, Sledgehammer then revealed an entirely original game mode for the series called Cutthroat, which will make its debut in Modern Warfare 3. Not much has been said about Cutthroat, but we do know that it is a 3v3v3 action mode for the main multiplayer maps and that operators only have one life per round. The aim of this mode is to eliminate the enemy teams or capture the overtime flag to win the round.
The developer discussed Ground War, a large-scale multiplayer mode that will make its return alongside the War Mode originally featured in the game Call of Duty: WWII – with linear battles, battle progression and environmental objectives.
Along with a ton of new details about what players can expect at launch, Sledgehammer finally confirmed it Modern Warfare 3 will have ranked multiplayer in season one. Ranked is being developed in collaboration with Treyarch, who will update and modernize the experience Modern Warfare 2.
Duty: Modern Warfare 3 is scheduled to release on November 10 for PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and PC. If you’ve already pre-ordered the game, you can check out the game’s open beta starting today (October 6), but launch dates depend on the platform you’re playing on.
