5 Best strategies to win Open Combat Missions in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 Campaign revealed

Throughout the single-player experience, the users will keep witnessing the open combat missions (OCMs). Alongside traditional quests, designed with a linear approach, these special missions will be more dynamic. Which means players will be able to craft their own strategies and tactics in order to complete them the way they want. They will have a fixed objective but endless means to accomplish it.

With that being said, here are the 5 best tips one should follow in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 to ace the open combat missions:

• Explore alternate ways: Players can either use a vehicle to race past the sentries to the main objective or take the route of water in order go out of the enemy’s sight. Plus, they can utilize their parachutes to hover over the opponents’ camps.
• Choose the right and apt gear for the job: At first, one will need to adjust things with the basic loadout offered at the start of an open combat mission. But one can increase it exponentially by exploring and scavenging. Eventually, players will be able to find a lot of variety in getting the best equipment according to their own play style.
• Know your enemy: Stay out of the enemies’ sight whenever possible, even when not using the stealth tactics. Using the red vehicles on the mini map will help in keeping track of the enemy patrols. Also, scanning a given area for snipers and other threats might come in handy.
• Create an effective arsenal: Thanks to the replayability factor of OCMs, players can keep coming back to a particular quest to accumulate more weapons and items. Eventually, they can craft the most effective loadout for a given quest to accomplish their objective successfully.
• Ramp up the challenge: Players must use their extended collection of weapons to push into higher difficulty levels.
