The 3rd Person Mode is unlocked at level 19 in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. The playlist functions like the regular multiplayer modes but with an over-the-shoulder view. The player can also swap between the left and right shoulder when aiming. Aiming down sight will zoom the camera view. Using a Red Dot Sight, Holographic Sight, or an ACOG Scope will increase the zoom. However, using a Sniper Scope or a Thermal Scope will turn the camera view into a first-person view when aiming down sight.
The 3rd Person Mode is only available as an option in Private Matches, including for Split Screen, in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3. The mode works exactly like the Modern Warfare 2 version.
