MW3 CoD Warrior mini-games explained

Modern Warfare 3 Season 5 introduces the brand-new CoD Warrior mode that brings a variety of mini-games into one playlist.

With each new season, the devs introduce new modes that provide fast-paced experiences with varied rules, weaponry, and content tweaks. These include modes like parkour-based Get Higher and team-based challenges like Mutation. However, CoD Warrior stands out for its mix of frenetic mini-games in bite-sized formats.

So, here’s everything you need to know about this MW3 mode including all the mini-games available.

What is CoD Warrior mode in MW3?

CoD Warrior is a brand-new MW3 mode where three teams of two compete in a series of 15 “randomized quickfire mini-games.” Each round win earns a point, and the first team to reach five points wins.

Mini-games have round timers ranging from 30 to 90 seconds with players having only one life per round with no respawns.
