How to spot enemies easily in Modern Warfare 3?

Here is a quick guide that you can follow to increase the visibility of enemy operators in Modern Warfare 3.

  • Launch the game with your account credentials.
  • You have to navigate to the settings menu by clicking on the gear icon present in the top-right corner of the screen.
  • Click on the Interface tab and scroll down till you see a setting named High Contrast Mode
  • You will need to enable that option and set the High Contrast Type to Full Color.
  • After you have made these changes, you can simply save it and jump back into the game.

It is important to note that the High Contrast Setting is only available for Campaign mode and will not have any effect on the multiplayer or Zombie playlists. The change in settings for MW3 might not immediately reflect in-game. In such a scenario, you would need to manually restart the entire title for the tweaks to set in properly.

The High Contrast Mode enables characters to be more visible by providing a distinct color scheme that can be easily spotted even in the darkest missions. However, if you wish to challenge yourself, you can turn it off and truly test your combat readiness on the battlefield.
