Escort in Modern Warfare 3

The latest iteration of the fan-favorite game series Modern Warfare 3 sees the introduction of „Escort,“ a dynamic new game mode, unveiled during the Season 3 Reloaded event. Players are plunged into a team-oriented environment where strategy and close cooperation dictate the pace of the game, enriching the multiplayer experience with a novel objective.

Within this mode, teams must navigate through terrain fraught with challenges as they work in unison to guard a valuable asset on its path through the battlefield. Success in the Escort mode requires not just quick reflexes and sharpshooting skills but also a keen sense of tactics and a strong emphasis on teamwork.

Understanding the Escort Game Mode in MW3

Escort in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 is a competitive multiplayer mode where players are tasked with either moving a specialized vehicle, known as the MAW, towards several target locations on the map, or halting its progress. The gameplay alternates between two primary roles across a couple of rounds: attackers escorting the MAW and defenders aiming to thwart the attackers‘ efforts.

Key Mechanics of Escort Gameplay:

  • Objective and Movement:
    • The MAW is required to reach three hacking points to succeed.
    • Movement is only possible when attackers are in proximity to the MAW.
  • Team Roles:
    • Attackers must stay near the MAW to keep it moving.
    • Defenders work to push the MAW back and can even reverse its course if they get close enough.
  • Strategy:
    • Players need to tactically position themselves to either advance or repel the MAW.
    • Ensuring the MAW's progression or regression is crucial to each team's success.
  • Winner Determination:
    • The winning team either captures more hacking points or achieves all three in less time.

This mode was introduced to players in the Season 3 Reloaded update and offers a dynamic ‚tug-of-war‘ style of gameplay. Teams must effectively manage their positioning and control over the MAW to secure victory in this mode.

Launch Timing:

  • The Escort mode becomes available with the Season 3 Reloaded update on May 1, 2024.
