How to Do a Finishing Move in Modern Warfare 3 (MW3)

There are a lot of situations that call for you to do a Finishing Move in MW3. Maybe you just unlocked a new one and want to see how it works, or there might be a player who executed you earlier in the game, and you want to return the favor. Either way, you need to know which buttons to press to achieve your goal.

Thankfully, unlike popular fighting games, you don’t need to pull off a perfect combo to do a Finishing Move. All you have to do is get behind the enemy you’re looking to execute and hold down the melee button. That will be R3 on Xbox and PlayStation and V on PC unless you’ve changed your controls. Obviously, this process is easier when you’re dealing with a stationary opponent, so try to flank the nearest camper before scaring them real good.
