According to Activision, MW3 zombies gameplay will not return to the old round-based format, but will instead have a player-vs-environment story and go more on the basis of an extraction shooter-style gameplay loop.

This means you’ll essentially drop into areas on the new Warzone map coming as part of the launch, complete any objectives, gather essence and other items, and then reach an exfil to move on.
