Call of Duty has added several twists and turns to its multiplayer over the years. Some became beloved, some abandoned. Gamers may be wondering what Black Ops Gulf War (unconfirmed title) has in store for them, as it is probably on its way. It will rumoredly feature open-combat missions like Modern Warfare 3, and if that’s the case, players may seek a better experience in multiplayer.
Recently, some fans chose to pick up on previous entries in the series and highlighted the poor integration of AI. Although such things have the potential to detract from the overall experience, it is highly unlikely that they will, given how far gaming has come since those games were released. Beyond that, however, gamers may be considering which of the game modes Treyarch ought to revive in the upcoming title. Here are our picks:.
The Modes that Call of Duty: Black Ops Gulf War Should Have
5. Ground War
First introduced in 2007’s Modern Warfare, the mode was simply a team deathmatch, but with more players allowed to partake. Looking at it now, it has evolved greatly with games like BO4, which includes a 50 vs. 50 mode in its battle royale.
MW‘s games after the soft reboot featured 32 vs. 32 matches with different features, including a squad spawning mechanic. Although each Call of Duty game that has included the mode has developed its own set of guidelines, the thrill has always been there.
4. Free-For-All
All the lone wolves would just rush into this. It’s the most common but also among the most fun game modes in the popular military shooter. The ground rules are simple: the one reaching the score limit first will take the crown. Team players, on the other hand, will not find the game very amusing given the setting where every player is their opponent.
The mode allows eight players in a game at maximum. It’s also a race against time, not just the number of kills. Players can taste victory if they haven’t reached the score limit but have the most kills under the time limit.
3. Kill Confirmed
Also known as tags, Kill Confirmed adds a little bit of fun, which can also leave a player annoyed. Shooting an enemy is not enough, as players have to pick up the dog tags left behind by the dead enemy before respawning to get the kill.
Initially, in games like Modern Warfare and Black Ops, the tags say the names of major characters from the respective franchises, Simon ‘Ghost’ Riley and Viktor Reznov. Later in BO3, the tags began displaying detailed information about the downed operator. Similarly, all the tags in CoD: Ghosts had a Ghosts emblem.
2. Prop Hunt
Playing hide and seek, flashing players, and running for lives, Prop Hunt is a proper fun mode that Call of Duty fans can play nonstop. One team assumes the role of hunters, who’ll hunt other players, disguising themselves as props. Things can go from nothing to really nasty if a hunter finds the prop near him/her.
To make things a bit easier for hunters, all the props whistle after a certain time limit, which almost appears like they are teasing them. It certainly is one mode that players enjoy playing. Hopefully, the next CoD won’t send the fans in a black mood like it was the case with Modern Warfare 3.
1. Search And Destroy
It should be on the jumbotron, as Search and Destroy remains among the most popular game modes in Call of Duty. In one moment, players are making strategies with the team, and the next moment, they are running for their lives.
While one team is assigned an objective to blow up a target, the other team needs to defend it until the time runs out. Once the enemy kills them, players can do nothing but spectate the team players and guide them to the objective, but only if the teammate chooses to take the advice.
The game’s tough, but it holds five times the potential of a team deathmatch. Players in the game are leveled up quickly while also polishing their skills, as it actually takes strategy to outrun the enemy they are facing.
Which of the game modes are you hoping to see in the next CoD, and why? We would like to know your thoughts in the comments section below.
