I was extremely disappointed when Black Ops didn't have this game type. I Hope black ops 2 will. It's easily my favorite gametype ever, and made WaW even better of a game for me.
Best Cod Gametype hands down.

Noob question but:
What exactly is War? What seperates it from Domination?
I played it alot in WaW but i can only remember the name, not what it was like.

To today I still miss War in MW3.
War is basically five flags, and it starts in the middle. Each time your team takes a flag, it goes closer to the enemy spawn. If the enemy team takes a flag, it goes closer to your spawn.
Until you capture it three times, which ends the game.

Ohhh yea!
I remember that. Didn't you also get an adrenaline boost when you captured alot and when you were about to lose the screen would lose some color and go slow motion?

War is extremely similar to BF's Conquest. There are five or three positions on the map depending on size. The middle flag is neutral and there are according spawns. Once one team captures it, they're pushed back to their next base and thus their subsequent spawn. Once that flag falls, they're at the final flag. At this point it's usually chaos, as the team usually spawns right on top of their last flag.
It's a lot of fun and gets reallllly intense. My favorite game mode other than Search.

^this. he basically explained it.
There was also an adrenaline system.
there was 3 levels to it. The higher the level, the faster you would cap flags. at level 3 it would max out and slowly drain back to level 2. But when it was level 3, a person by himself could capture the flag. while at level 1 (no adrenaline) it would take an entire team for ever to capture it.
My favorite part of this was that Capturing flags gave you one level, and if you lost a flag all your adrenaline would go away. This made some games of WAR go as fast as a couple minutes. or last for ever and be super intense.
Another important thing to add would be that you gained adrenaline by getting kills too. Which means those pesky team mates that just want to kill whore would actually be helping you out in this game type. THIS, is why WAR in my mind is the perfect gametype

WaW is my favorite CoD and I never played this? It sounds really fun. Wonder if it's still active...

I admit that I am extremely tired, so I may be reading this wrong (or thinking of how it would play out wrong in my head), but that sounds nothing like Battlefield's Conquest mode to me. Again, I might just be reading/imagining it wrong, but yeah... Still, sounds like a pretty cool gamemode though. Too bad I didn't try it out in WaW.

Oh and obviously it's a work.

I meant moreso in terms of designated positions. Yeah, BF doesn't have fall back points and etc. Different mechanics, similar concepts.
