A creative player showed why Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3's Tactical Camera might be one of the game's most underrated field upgrades. The user showed how the useful Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 tool can be extremely powerful in certain scenarios.
Modern Warfare 3 boasts a wide selection of field upgrades for users to choose from. Options include more traditional choices like the Trophy System, Dead Silence, or Deployable Cover, while also including interesting tools like the ACS, Tactical Insertion, and Smoke Airdrop. Modern Warfare 3 tries to offer field upgrades that are each wholly unique from the others, and the Tactical Camera is no different. It's usually a field upgrade that is rarely seen within Modern Warfare 3. However, one user highlighted how it can be used to great effect.
Reddit user cm757200 posted a clip that showed them using Modern Warfare 3's Tactical Camera while inside Terminal's plane during various Search and Destroy matches. They effectively used the field upgrade by throwing it in the tunnel that leads from the plane into the airport terminal. After switching to the Tactical Camera's view, cm757200 was able to easily spot and mark multiple enemies inside the terminal. From the plane's cockpit, they were able to use their sniper to shoot through the thin wall in front of them and one-shot the marked enemies on the other side. They were also able to use the field upgrade in a defensive manner by observing rushing enemies and preparing for them. Of course, this could be countered by the enemies simply shooting and destroying the Tactical Camera, but if enemies aren't aware of its presence, the field upgrade can become an extremely useful tool.
How to Use Modern Warfare 3's Tactical Camera Effectively
- Place it in a spot that overlooks an important part of the map
- Also try to place it in a way that isn't obviously visible to enemies
- While in a safe spot, switch to the camera's view and mark any opponents
- Use the markings to get the jump on enemies
Commenting Modern Warfare 3 fans praised the player for their creative and useful use of the Tactical Camera, while others debated its true effectiveness. Fans mostly agreed that the field upgrade's potential can only be maximized in slower-paced objective modes like Search and Destroy, where keeping watch over certain sections of the map often becomes a win-or-lose necessity. Although the new video might cause more players to use the Tactical Camera, it probably won't become as widely used as Modern Warfare 3's popular Covert Sneakers perk, which has seen some controversy lately.
In other field upgrade news, Call of Duty recently confirmed that the PDS field upgrade will return to Warzone soon. The field upgrade's abilities, which revolve around gas protection, make it clear that it won't be implemented in Modern Warfare 3's Multiplayer, but fans can soon try out the returning field upgrade in the franchise's battle royale mode.
The field upgrade's confirmation came as part of Call of Duty's Season 2 roadmap. Multiplayer fans can look forward to three new 6v6 maps, new game modes, new map variants, and more.
