Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III adds a Halloween-themed "Possession" mode. Infinity Ward has added a "Non-Military Simulation Content" notice to the corresponding playlist, which players can see before starting their match search.
In this mode, after eliminating an opponent, players can "possess" the character they just defeated, teleporting to their last known location and acquiring their loadout. The teleportation and equipment swap have a distinct supernatural flair, differing from the game's usual grounded, gritty, and relatively realistic military tone.
The new tag is designed to distinguish this seasonal entertainment content from the game's regular visual and narrative tone, helping players understand the mode's attributes before entering matchmaking. Confirmed details include the mode name, basic possession mechanics, teleportation effects, loadout inheritance, and prompts on the matchmaking interface.
