The latest entry in theCall of Dutyfranchise, Modern Warfare 3(2023),has finally launched its first Season, and if you’re still busy getting to grips with the newModern Warfarezombies mode then there’s a pretty strong chance that you might be wondering how to play from a third-person perspective.
The very first zombies mode in a game from theModern Warfaresub-series,Modern Warfare Zombies,is an open-world twist on the classic round-based formula. Featuring a sprawling map filled with loot and, of course, plenty of zombies, there are loads of different areas to discover as you begin to explore.
WhileCall of Dutyhas always been afirst-person shooter (FPS), a handful of modes have offered the chance to play from an over-the-shoulder third-person perspective. This is the case inModern Warfare Zombies, where you have the option to freely switch between a first-person and third-person viewpoint during a game.
Although your choice of which to use is likely to come down to personal preference, we think that playing third-person mode could potentially give you a bit of an advantage because it allows you to see more of your environment, decreasing the chances that the undead are going to catch you unawares. Here’s how to switch between each mode depending on your platform.
