Prisoner Rescue is one of the multiplayer game modes available in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3. Read on to learn more about this game mode, how to play it, and the best loadouts you can equip.
No matter which side you’re playing, always make the prisoners your top priority. Attackers get 100 points when they extract a prisoner so when Defending, be patient and let them come to you.
Different maps call for different ways of retrieving Prisoners but it’s always easier to extract when you’re not alone. Make sure you’re with teammates when taking an area and if any of your teammates are able to pick up a prisoner, escort them back to safety.
Getting a numbers advantage is always helpful especially in a game mode with just 6 players per team. Fortunately, this game mode allows you to revive dead teammates. Players can simply walk up to dead allies and press the corresponding button to revive them.
Take note that when reviving a player and you stop, the progress for the revive stays the same and you can continue reviving that person. This can prove useful when it’s down to the last players alive and you can fake a revive to bait an enemy in revealing their location.

Prisoner Rescue is a brand new 6v6 game mode that has players alternate as Attackers or Defenders. Defenders will have 2 prisoners to guard, while Attackers are tasked to rescue them. Each prisoner rewards 50 points on extraction (max 100 per round) and eliminating the enemy team rewards 50 points only. First team to 500 Points wins.
Each round ends when the opposing team is wiped out or when both prisoners are rescued. In this game mode, much like in Knock Out, players are only downed and can be revived as long as they have teammates that are alive.

This loadout is primarily for players that want to take out enemies before even getting close to a prisoner. Thanks to the Overkill perk, players can equip a secondary primary weapon in addition to their long range weapon of choice.

This loadout focuses more on taking fights and being generally aggressive on the map. The FSS Hurricane is arguably the best SMG you can equip now and pairing this with Dead Silence makes for a deadly combo.
