A new patch hit Call of Duty: Ghosts on all platforms earlier today, providing the usual array of fixes and adjustments for reported problems, but it also adds in a new game mode dubbed "Reinforce."
Call of Duty: Ghosts' Multiplayer Maps Renamed in Honor of April Fools
The mode was planned as an initial mode for Ghosts, but was removed from the game for unknown reasons. Until now that is. The mode's gameplay is a mish-mosh of Domination, Search and Destroy, and Search and Rescue. Players can revive fallen teammates by capturing one of three flags scattered around the map. The game comes to a close in one of three ways: either all the players on one team are killed, all three flags are collected, or two control points are held. Sounds easy enough, right?
