Modern Warfare 3 offers a plethora of game modes, each having its own player and team limits. As a result, many newcomers who hop into the game to experience the Modern Warfare 3 Zombies game mode for the first time don't know how many players can play the Zombies mode. 

Unlike the Zombies mode in some of the previous Call of Duty installments, where up to four players can play together, the one offered in Modern Warfare 3 is not the traditional narrative-driven mode with waves of enemies coming at you. Instead, the game features a nuanced Zombies game mode, a mix of DMZ and Zombies.

MW3 Zombies Player and Team Limits

In Modern Warfare 3, up to three players can form a team and play the Zombies game mode together. The squad size for every team in the game is three, though you can disable Squad Fill to join the match solo, invite up to two friends to play in online co-op or play with random teammates via matchmaking. 

That being said, in every Modern Warfare 3 Zombies match, a total of twenty-four players can play, meaning eight teams of three players

Since the game mode doesn't feature PvP, you can also team up with other players and their teams to tackle open-world activities together, such as taking out elite zombies for loot and clearing Infested Strongholds and Aether Nests.

The Proximity Chat feature makes teaming up with other players very easy in Modern Warfare 3 Zombies. However, you will have to convince others to play together or help you with a certain thing as most of the time, as soon as the match starts, every player and their team have their own thing to do and may not help you even though they are nearby.
