Modern Warfare 2 Ground War Modes Explained

Ground War

Ground war is a 32 vs 32 mode which is basically a massive game of domination, in which teams compete to capture and hold onto five different objectives. This mode is played on huge maps.

Most of the maps are set on the new Al Mazrah map, but some of them take place in Mexico. This has led to speculation about a Mexican BR map set around Las Almas...

Invasion

Invasion is a 20 v 20 Team Deathmatch, which takes place on the same maps as Ground War. However, in Invasion each team are joined by a force of bots to help them. Here's Invasion in action:

This has been a popular mode so far for lovers of Ground War.

Modern Warfare 2 6v6 Modes Explained

Prison Rescue

Prison Rescue is a no respawn mode, but with revives enabled (like MW2019's Cyber Attack). The aim of the game is to be first to 500 points, and each round you will be either on the attacking side or on the defensive side (which side your team is on alternates every 2 rounds).

To score points each round, the attackers have to recuse hostages and bring them back to their spawn point. Defenders have to stop them doing this. It plays like an SnD-lite, and we're big fans of the mode.

We find that Prison Rescue plays like a more competitive mode, similar to Search and Destroy, so you'll want to use the current meta loadouts to do well:

Knockout

In Knockout you have no respawns, but revives are enabled, just like Prison Rescue. But in this mode teams have to pick up a neutral bag in the middle of the map, which begins a timer, and hold on to the bag until the timer is complete.

It's quite simple, but it doesn't really work as a mode because when you pick up the bag everyone can see where you are, putting you at a massive disadvantage. So it's best for both teams to just ignore the bag and play it like a game of TDM.

3rd Person Moshpit

This is mode is just a collection of respawn modes (Hardpoint, Headquarters, Domination, Kill Confirmed, and Team Deathmatch) but with everyone using a 3rd-person camera. The camera will remain 3rd-person unless you zoom in with a scope of 3x magnification or stronger. It looks pretty dope:

We advise this mode to anyone who's been grinding too long and needs a casual change of pace.

Quickplay / Classic Modes

And, of course, you've got your classic Quickplay, which is all the classic modes in 6v6. You can filter your Quickplay to only include certain game modes.

Here are the classic modes we have to choose from in Quickplay:

• Team Deathmatch
• Free-For-All
• Kill Confirmed
• Hardpoint
• Headquarters
• Domination
• Search and Destroy
• Prison Rescure
• Knockout

Just like the good old days.

And there you have it folks, that was your update on all the modes available to play this week. Was it the playlist update you wanted? Or are you still enjoying the campaign?
