Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III has been officially announced, and one addition to the formula this year are what’s called “Open Combat Missions” for the campaign. But what are these and how do they work? Here’s everything we know so far about Open Combat Missions in Modern Warfare III.
What are Open Combat Missions?
In addition to the more cinematic, linear, and focused missions that fans have come to know and expect from Call of Duty, Modern Warfare III has Open Combat Missions that give players more freedom. Players will have “numerous additional choices” for how to complete a mission, Activision said in a blog post.
“For example, if you prefer to use stealth techniques, you may wish to undertake an OCM with a lights-out approach, using night-vision goggles and suppressed weapons and complete your objectives without your adversaries knowing you were even there,” the company said. “However, if loud explosions and reckless abandon are part of your repertoire, strap extra armor plates onto your torso and hit those targets head-on.”
