Search and Destroy is about as classic as it gets when it comes to Call of Duty.

The round-based mode with no respawns and with one team attacking while one defends is synonymous with the series. Some of its best esports moments have gone down in SnD, and rightfully so, because of the hyper-intense nature of having only one life to live.

There are a variety of strategies you can employ in SnD in Modern Warfare. You can run and gun just as easily as you can sit back and snipe, or employ a hybrid strategy with an assault rifle. Just make sure to have the Dead Silence Field Upgrade equipped. It’s essentially a requirement for clutch situations in Modern Warfare SnD.

Here are some top-tier, easily accessible classes that can be built to dominate in SnD in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare.
