Just like the maps, a slew of new multiplayer modes are coming, mixed between launch and in-season. Here they are:

  • Demolition (Launch): Back for the first time since MW 2019, think of it as Search and Destroy, but with respawns, multiple bombsites, and defuses do not end a round.
  • Hyper Cranked (Launch): A twist on the normal Crank, where if you don't rack up kills within a certain timeframe, you explode. This one sees you Cranked right off spawn, with faster everything.
  • Havoc (Mid-Season): Back for the first time since MW2 2022 Season 5. TDM rules are in effect, with killstreaks disabled and a wide variety of match modifiers after certain kill thresholds are met.
  • Headshots Only (Mid-Season): Team Deathmatch, but only headshots count.

A handful of new items to take into battle arrive with Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 Season 4:

  • New Perk: Mission Control Vest
    • Equipment Slots: Tactical, Lethal, Field Upgrade, Gloves, Gear (2).
    • Reduces kills required by 1 and score required by 125 for Killstreaks.
    • Earn 1 kill or 125 score for every 2 Kill Assists or Cross Fire Assists.
  • New Perk: Compression Plate Gear
    • Immediately regenerate health after a Primary, Secondary, or Throwing Knife/Throwing Star kill. Objective captures also trigger health regeneration. An icon appears on your HUD when this Perk is active.
  • New Killstreak: Intelligent Munitions Systems
    • Kills: 7
    • Score: 875
      • The Intelligent Munitions System is loaded with smart explosives that eliminate enemy personnel and vehicles within range. When triggered, it will eject an explosive upwards, which then locks onto its target and propels towards them.
  • New Killstreak: Loitering Munition
    • Kills: 8
    • Score: 1,000
      • An unmanned rocket equipped drone loiters over the targeted areas. On each activation the drone selects the targeted location with the largest number of viable targets to bombard with rockets. Can be activated up to three times.
  • New Killstreak: Missile Drone
    • Kills: 11
    • Score: 1,375
      • A small, piloted drone controlled by the player that fires guided missiles.
  • New Killstreak: DNA Bomb
    • Kills: [REDACTED]
    • The discovery of a DNA Bomb Popov Power in Urzikstan is a taste of the tremendous power this brings to a Multiplayer match. The tremendous explosion can be triggered providing you’ve acquired enough consecutive kills without dying. Once you’re granted the DNA Bomb you can detonate it, eliminating all players on the opposing team. Unlike the MGB, the DNA Bomb does not conclude the match.
