How to win Operation Spearhead War mode in Modern Warfare 3

The objective of Operation Spearhead in MW3 has not been discussed in the recent Call of Duty blog. It seems that players will have to capture and complete objectives in a linear pattern to push back the enemy team and take control of the arena. The matches are expected to either have a timer, a point-based score system, or both to crown the winning team.

The exact nature of the objectives within the mode has not been confirmed by Activision or Sledgehammer Games at the time of writing this article. However, the mode might be cascaded into different stages considering the linear system of capturing the points of interest.


What is the map for Operation Spearhead War mode in MW3

The inaugural arena for the new war mode in MW3 will be located in the upcoming Urzikstan map. The area will be limited to a region between Orlov Military Base and Kadurin Silo, where the teams will have to fight for the win within a linear corridor that will contain various items and consoles for the players to interact with.

The official Call of Duty blog states that the players will need to disable anti-aircraft pieces of machinery to call in armored vehicles and tanks to the playable area as airdrops. Once these vehicles arrive, the team can push alongside them, take control of the arena, and push back the opposition.

The final stage of the objectives seems to be related to a missile launch console. The team has to tinker with launch codes and complete the final step to secure their victory in the MW3 war mode.
