Just consider returning the favor and communicate when possible or by joining a cluster of teammates at an objective to provide fire support, unleash a Smoke Grenade, or both. With that knowledge, try using your teammates’ movements to help gauge enemy positions and good attack points. You can identify teammate movements by the friendly blue dots above their Operators. Without a heads-up display, it can be hard to tell if an enemy is staking out point B, or if point C is protected by a Sentry Gun. So, it’s important to proceed with caution. When this mode gets a twist of Realism, there’s no way to gather intel about enemy movements – other than what you hear from your Operator.

To raise the stakes even higher, this Realism Moshpit playlist is all objective modes: Domination, Hardpoint, Kill Confirmed, and Headquarters. With a rich visual definition that surpasses even the super-crisp appearance of regular Multiplayer, gamers of all platforms will view each map in a new, realistic light. Maps like Azhir Cave, Hackney Yard and Gun Runner all get a Realism treatment – including their Night variants. Out of the box, the Realism Moshpit playlist is stuffed to the brim with a variety of maps and objective modes to keep the competition interesting.

In this setting, each successful hit feels like an achievement. In other words, there are zero on-screen signifiers that your weapons or tactics are effective. Adding to the challenge is a total lack of hit markers, point tracking, and earned XP alerts. If you think that makes for a sweaty smokeshow of one-hit-kills and rapid-fire respawns, think again. To underscore the high stakes of this mode, Realism dials up the headshot damage big-time, yet limits health regeneration to the standard level. Not only is there little on-screen guidance – unless you score a friendly UAV – but there are adjustments to certain combat functions. Trust your weapon, trust your guts, and trust your teammates to help the whole squad survive.

Read up on Realism and get ready to crush this Featured Playlist. Without a HUD, mini-map or loadout information, Realism’s stripped-down interface makes for an exhilarating combat experience that allows players – and their favorite weapons – to shine. This photorealistic, immersive mode is Modern Warfare gameplay at its purest. The Realism Moshpit Playlist is now live in Modern Warfare® Multiplayer.
