How to do Modern Warfare 3 Finishing Moves

Just like previous Call of Duty titles, the process of performing a Finishing Move in Modern Warfare 3 is incredibly straightforward. Here's what you need to do:

• Stand behind an opponent and hold down the melee button or key to trigger the animation

It really is that straightforward. It's worth noting that you will be completely vulnerable while performing the Finishing Move, and there's no way of cancelling it once it's started.

We recommend using a Finishing Move in game modes where there's a chance of sneaking behind enemy lines on some unsuspecting opposition, rather than in the middle of a map during a Team Deathmatch.
