In most multiplayer first-person shooters, you can perform a finishing move animation or execution on an enemy, and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 is no different. This is how you can make a finisher in MW3.
How to do a finishing move in Modern Warfare 3
To perform a finishing move in MW3, stand behind an enemy and hold the melee button. While tapping the melee input allows you to hit the opponent, holding it will trigger a short animation of you executing it. The default keybind for melee is my on PC and on a controller, you need to press the button right stick.
Keep in mind that your finishing move may stop mid-stream if an enemy shoots at you or your teammates shoot at the operator you’re executing. There are a variety of different styles of finishers that you can unlock through cosmetic packs and battle passes. Each finisher has a varied animation for three different stances the enemy could be in: standing, prone, or down. Executions can be performed in the game just for fun or to complete certain challenges.
