Mastering the game in these early days can give you an advantage as everyone is coming to the grips with the new shooter.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 is the third entry in the rebooted Modern Warfare series – and the 20th title in the main franchise.

It’s also a direct sequel to last year’s Modern Warfare 2.

The game came out on November 10, 2023 on Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4 and Microsoft Windows.

Terminal is one of the launch maps for the game, and will be familiar to long-time Call of Duty fans.

The map has appeared in several Call of Duty titles, and is a favourite among die-hard fans of the game.

If you want to get the edge, here are some official tips from Activision.

Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 – Terminal tips

Watch your head

Don’t think you’re safe from aerial attacks inside the Terminal building. There are large glass ceiling panes over much of the interior structure, so overhead streaks still pose a danger to those within. Learn the safe spots and get to them when there’s trouble incoming.

Start in the midrange

Consider a midrange Loadout when starting out on Terminal. It’s a strong distance for many of the engagements here and will give you time to discover the spots where other weapon types might perform better. 

Keep climbing

Use your mantling abilities to get into advantageous positions. Climb everything in sight to take advantage of the map’s verticality by getting over and ahead of the enemy team. 

Prepare for departure

Terminal is one of the most iconic maps in Call of Duty history, having appeared in multiple titles. Whether this is your first or five hundredth time here, the battle ahead is sure to be an epic one. Now, check in with your captain before departure and plan a strategy that’s sure to secure victory.

Dine and dash

Burger Town is a great defensive position with views over Dining, the Upper Lounge and into Shopping. Lock down the area when it’s hot and then move on to your next target.

Plan Your UAVs

If you’ve got the UAV streak equipped, wait for the opportune time to activate it. The intel will better serve you before a big push or in anticipation of an incoming attack.

Rocket blast

Get messy with free-fire Launchers by blasting enemies in the hallway, in the plane, on the apron, and anywhere else where the blast radius can be directed to eliminate hostile operators.
