Spec Ops Chaos mode – Activision and co. asks “How long can you survive?”

Spec Ops Chaos Mode is more of an arcade mode than any other mode in Modern Warfare 3. Your objective is to rack up the highest score, with the highest multipliers. The bad news? Well, you’re going to go up against many enemies at once. In some cases, you’ll have to face other types of enemies. The mode uses standard maps from Modern Warfare 3: Village, Underground, Resistance, and Dome. Are you ready for chaos?

You’re probably wondering what new Content Collections are on the horizon by now, eh? Well, let’s get down to business, then!

Activision also revealed a new game mode shipping along with this Content Collection. Introducing Spec Ops Chaos Mode. Activision describes it this way:

High-altitude Special Ops challenges put tactical skills to the test, with players navigating armed drones above a Russian destroyer and evading RPGs from the roof of a helicopter-swarmed hotel. Upping the ante further, FACE OFF firefights pit players head-to-head on a six-lane stretch of desert highway, at an abandoned crossroads near a New York overpass, and near the path of a violent tornado.

A whole new way to play Call of Duty, Special Ops Chaos mode delivers the ultimate in arcade mayhem. Experience truly heart-pounding and adrenaline-fueled action while competing for high scores in Resistance, Village, Underground and Dome. Chain kills t ogether against a never-ending onslaught of enemies to increase your combo multiplier and earn performance enhancing perks. Choose your route through each map to optimize weapon pickups, attack, and escape options. Play solo, split screen or online with a friend to take out as many enemies as possible before they take you down or the clock hits zero.”

Remember, every Content Drop and Content Collection arrives first on Xbox Live and then shortly thereafter on PlayStation 3, and PC.

Activision released a press release detailing these maps and then some more:

The Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 Season of Content wraps up with the last two Content Collections — Collection #3: Chaos Pack and Collection #4: Final Assault — set to release on the Xbox 360 on August 9 and September 6, 2012 respectively. The Call of Duty: MW3 Collection #3: Chaos Pack, will introduce gamers to the brand new Special Ops Chaos Mode, in addition to offering three all new FACE OFF Maps and four new Special Ops Missions. The final Collection #4: Final Assault will be released on September 6 and deliver five all-new Multiplayer Maps.

By its conclusion, the season of content will have delivered an unprecedented depth and variety of content to fans worldwide — including 29 pieces of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 DLC (including three free maps) and introducing the new multiplayer FACE OFF and all-new Special Ops Chaos Mode and delivering Special Ops Missions in DLC for the first time in franchise history.

Call of Duty: MW3 Collection #3: Chaos Pack offers extensive solo and co-op gameplay for the Special Ops enthusiast, featuring four brand new Special Ops Missions — Vertigo, Arctic Recon, Light ‘Em Up and Special Delivery — and FACE OFF maps — Vortex, U-Turn and Intersection. Introducing a new way to play Call of Duty, Special Ops Chaos Mode delivers a frenetic form of combat that demands players to outlast waves of enemies, while chaining kills on maps littered in power-ups to achieve the highest possible score on fan-favorite multiplayer maps Resistance, Village, Underground and Dome.

The final act of the Call of Duty: MW3 Content Season, Collection #4: Final Assault, is tailored toward hardcore multiplayer fans, and features five all-new multiplayer maps. “Gulch” sends combatants into a forgotten mining town with mine shafts and equipment sheds for cover. In “Boardwalk,” fun in the sun on the Jersey Shore means facing enemies on the beach. “Offshore” and “Decommission” will test players’ sea legs on deadly oceanic oilrigs and among a maze of rotting ocean liners respectively. Rounding out the collection is a trip to the French Quarter in a war-torn New Orleans, where “Parish” pits players against one another amidst the city’s rubble.

Both Collection #3: Chaos Pack and Collection #4: Final Assault will release first on the Xbox LIVE Marketplace for the Xbox 360 video game and entertainment system from Microsoft for 1,200 Microsoft Points, or $14.99. The Collections will be released on other platforms shortly thereafter. The DLC included in the Collections will be made available to Premium Elite members at an earlier date; for current release dates for Premium Elite Members, go to the MW3 Content Calendar website.

If you’d like to know how I felt about all of the maps that have been released thus far, here they are: First Drops Piazza and Liberation, and Second Drops Overwatch, Black Box, Black Ice, and Negotiator.

The first map is Foundation. It takes place on an abandoned concrete factory stationed in South Korea. It has almost everything; sniping spots, run n’ gun, long distance shots, steep downhill and uphill battles.

The second map is Sanctuary. It takes place in a religious greek monastery up hi-rise in central Greece. You will battle in cliffs, bridges, religious rooms that are either churches, eating rooms, and Sanctuaries. Monks of Greece have come across this sanctuary, and some have lived here!

As always, PS3 and PC gamers are going to have to wait for these maps to be released. ‘Till next time!
