What Does Open Combat Mission Mean?
Open Combat Missions are new types of Campaign levels, introduced in MW3 (2023). These new missions give players objectives to complete, but unlike standard levels, the missions offer players a degree of freedom with which to complete them.
Users are able to utilize and change loadouts, find and use new gear and killstreaks, and handle the mission however they choose.
Should you prefer, it’s possible to handle the mission stealthily or retreat from enemy fire mid-gunfight until they stop searching for you.
Those who go in guns blazing may also find themselves dealing with summoned reinforcements.
After completing an Open Combat Mission, players can customize a fresh loadout with items found in prior playthroughs, and attempt the mission once again.
