There’s a new game mode being injected in Call of Duty: Ghosts as part of the latest update, as well as some tweaks to weapons in an effort to balance out the gameplay.
Infinity Ward has created a new game mode named Reinforce. Reinforce sees players compete in competitive round based matches where if you are killed, you won’t respawn from the depths of pixel hell until a fellow solider on your team captures an enemy control point. Victory is achieved by either capturing 2 control points and keeping hold of them, wiping out the entire opposing team or snagging all 3 control points to win instantly.
It’s nice to see Infinity Ward adding more to the multiplayer, it gives you a reason to keep playing once you’re a little tired of the current line up of game modes.
As well as the new game mode, Infinity Ward has made some tweaks to some weapons in addition to tinkering with the spawn logic during mutliplayer matches.
