"Combat erupts in a mid-sized Parisian district. Long side streets encourage mid-range combat, with nearby homes and storefronts lending defensive positions for ambush and recovery. Watch out for explosives when navigating the marketplace, and always keep an eye up top for enemies shooting from above."
Resistance is a medium sized map featured in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3. The two spawns are on either side of the map, one at the top of a hill, the other near the umbrellas. The map has crowded streets along with many buildings that offer for close quarters combat, and some long lines of sight that favor guns with longer range. Despite this there are only two accessible buildings: a shop and a destroyed house. Decent cover is provided by vehicles scattered around the map, and these are great for players with the Blast Shield perk (increases one's explosive resistance). However, these can also serve as death traps, because they will detonate if one fires on them. Explosive weapons can also destroy the vehicles, killing those who are too close.
"Attempt to survive relentless attacks from enemies in the streets of Paris."
— In-game description
Resistance is one of the four maps available in Chaos Mode. The player will start with a USP.45 with Tactical Knife, two Frag Grenades, two Flashbangs, three Self Revives and 500 Armor. This map is easy to get fast combos because the narrow outside pathways but players should be cautious when inside as they may get cornered, mainly by Juggernauts.
The umbrellas at the courtyard are indestructible against all air support if the shots land on top of it (as seen in this video). This is true unless the explosions are to the side.
One of the newspapers says "President plays Spec Ops. Cabinet says Spec Ops good for your health."
The Eiffel Tower is strangely on water; if one goes into Spectator Mode, Theater Mode or uses a Recon Drone, this can be seen.
At Call of Duty XP, in Survival Mode, the Air Support armory was not near the fountain, it was closer to the stairs further left of the fountain.[1]
In Multiplayer if the player goes under the shadowed tunnel located in the north-west side of the map, he is not allowed to prone.
In survival mode either solo or team if player(s) lay in prone position ontop of the green car they become immune to all enemy including Juggernauts and excluding helis. Note the green car must be completely blown up first in order for this to work.
