Finishing Move

Finishing Moves are a player mechanic in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare. It allows a player to enter a third-person view and perform an elaborate kill animation on another player. Finishing Moves can only be done in Multiplayer. Finishing Moves can be executed by holding down the melee button while behind a player. They can be cancelled if either player dies, and a player subject to a Finishing Move may remain alive if the other player is killed before the animation is finished. Certain Finishing Moves are unique to the selected Operator, and more can be unlocked via purchasable content and Challenges.
