Modern Warfare 3 Terminal Overview
The Terminal is a battleground in the legacy of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, transcends its origin to become a timeless classic, finding its place in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, Call of Duty Online, Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare, and even in mobile. This iconic map, rooted in the No Russian campaign mission narrative, weaves a tale of relentless combat within the confines of an airport terminal.
Design Dynamics
As players enter the Terminal, they enter an airport terminal filled with luggage, bars, and small shops. The exterior, where planes and cargo reside, unveils many accessible nooks. The map allows players to explore the interiors of airplanes, complete with realistic seating, providing refuge from airborne threats. However, the labyrinthine layout with security checkpoints and barricades adds a maze-like complexity, shaping intense and unpredictable engagements.
Strategic Hotspots
The map unfolds diverse combat scenarios, from the notorious "Hallway of Death" overlooking the outside area to the central store offering strategic vantage points. High-up spots become coveted positions for players seeking elevated advantages, while the top of the plane poses a formidable challenge for adversaries.
Weapon Dynamics and Tactics
Terminal's gameplay dynamics favor tight turns and medium-range combat, making assault rifles and SMGs the weapons of choice. Shotguns shine in the indoor confines, while sniper rifles dominate the central hallway and exterior zones. The abundance of glass on the map makes FMJ penetration kills common, adding a layer of tactical consideration. Smoke grenades prove invaluable for maneuvering amidst sniper fire, providing cover for strategic advances.
Gameplay Variability
The map's interior focus diminishes the efficacy of aerial killstreaks, creating an environment where ground-based equipment like the Recon Drone and Sentry Gun thrive. Terminal transforms into a chaotic arena in objective game modes, with strategic choke points turning into intense battlegrounds. Spawn trapping becomes a common tactic, and explosive defines flag-based encounters.
