All Game Modes in Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2

Modern Warfare 2 brings many new co-op modes, as well as a completely redesigned Gunsmith system, in which players will be able to customize weapon accessories in detail. There is also a new third-person view and many other changes related to reloading and movement animations, which bring perhaps the biggest changes to the gameplay of this series so far.

Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 will feature three main game modes as usual:

  • Campaign
  • Spec-Ops
  • Multiplayer

When it comes to multiplayer maps, they will be divided into two types:

  • Battle Maps (for 32 vs 32 for Ground War modes)
  • Core Maps (for 6 vs 6 for all Classic modes)

…and there are some brand new game modes:

  • Knockout – Two teams fight to secure the package, but they have limited lives.
  • Prisoner Rescue – One team tries to get the hostages out, while the other team works to build defenses around them.
  • Invasion (Ground War) – Literally a war simulation in which players together with AI engage in huge battles.

Aside from the new stuff, many long-running game modes are returning in Modern Warfare 2 as well, so far the following ones are confirmed:

  • Team Deathmatch
  • Domination
  • Search and Destroy

These are all the game modes announced at the moment, some of which we already had the opportunity to try during the beta test. Of course, it is very certain that there will be more in the full version of the game at the launch or through later updates, so stay tuned for a definite list of all game modes in Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2.
