Modern Warfare 3 gamemode glitch

Something strange has happened a few times to me. When playing COD Modern Warfare 3 multiplayer (on the PC), I would go to Find Match -> Standard playlists -> Team Deathmatch. Most of the times it would work correctly, but sometimes I would get sent into a game of Domination or Drop Zone. When I am in such match, if I press Esc, the "pause" screen title would say
"Team Deathmatch"

but the description would say
"Capture and defend the flags. First team to 200 wins." (as seen here)

And no, my game is not pirated.

What is this and why is it happening?

Thanks in advance.

(This is one of the reasons for your problem. There might be others.)

This could be a cheater lobby. Those guys can make a real mess out of the game. I strongly advise to not stay in such lobbies as they can as well mess up your personal ranking.
You can identify those lobbies usually by some turning around:

You get incredibly high score (not always)
There are more players than allowed in such game modes (this is most common)
The game mode doesn't match (not always)
(Someone has 60-0 kills and doesn't even walk around)

Other than that you should try to re-validate your game files. It could as well be a simple error in the localization files.

Once you are done playing a Match, back out.

After backing out of Matchmaking, start another session and continue playing from there.

If needed, restart your game &/or your Gaming Device.

This should work as a temporary fix for the error.

How do you do the third-person glitch on modern warfare?

Fans in the comments say that the main way to trigger this glitch is to have a player leave the game while being revived. Due to the revive not completing, the game locks into a third-person perspective, granting a new perspective to the Survival game-mode.

There is no options to add bots to the game, at least not in Multiplayer against other players but there is a survival mode you can play with bots. Otherwise, there is no other way, well not a legit one.
