Hordepoint in Modern Warfare 3 (MW3) is a classic twist that the developers brought to one of the most popular game modes in this franchise. As the name suggests, it is a variant of the Hardpoint game mode and has a similar set of objectives but with a bit more scare in the arena as the undead monsters seek to overtake the battlefield with endless spawns.

Hordepoint is a Limited Time Mode (LTM) that makes its appearance during The Haunting event and has been around since it was first launched in Call of Duty World War 2. Players can take part in this epic showdown between players and zombies alike during the event and rake in a massive amount of points to unlock various rewards and expand their collections.

This article will highlight the return of Hordepoint in Modern Warfare 3.


How to play Hordepoint in Modern Warfare 3

Hordepoint in Modern Warfare 3 is a fairly straightforward game mode with a single objective that either team needs to complete to secure victory in the match. The lobby is made with a total of 12 players, with six on each side, as everyone participates in a brawl to get the most points while securing kills to rank higher on the scoreboard.

The objective of the game mode is to capture and defend specific points on the map that appear randomly. However, Hordepoint comes with an undead twist where players need to fight off their opponents and take down hordes of zombies around the map. These zombies are neutral and attack both teams.

The first team to secure 250 points by capturing the points of interest wins the match. However, if the timer runs out before either team can reach the points threshold, the side with the higher score gets the win. This becomes quite difficult when players have to fight off two different threats at the same time while keeping an eye out for the main game mode objective.

That said, here is how you can queue up for Hordepoint in Modern Warfare 3:

  • Launch your game client and ensure that the latest updates have been installed.
  • Once the game boots up, you need to head over to the Modern Warfare 3 tab.
  • You can then select the Hordepoint tile from the playlist options and start queuing up for a fresh session.
  • Once the matchmaking process finds all the players, you will be put in a lobby and the match will begin after a short delay.

It is important to note that you can enjoy the Hordepoint game mode in Modern Warfare 3 only for a short period of time as it is a part of the limited-time event, The Haunting. It is best to grind such playlists as much as possible if you want to rake in XP for event-exclusive rewards.
