I checked on Call of Duty Elite today, and saw an article made by them about a feature that will be present in Call of Duty Black Ops 2!

"For some time now, fans have been asking for the ability to play a “multi-team” format – and with Call of Duty: Black Ops II, we’re happy to say that we’ve heard your requests and we’re serving it up on November 13.



Multi-Team is a new class of game modes in Black Ops II. Instead of two factions going head-to-head, multiple teams of players take to the playing field at the same time, each looking to come out on top. Action is fast-paced and unrelenting, as competing teams battle each other for kills, objective points—and eventually—the win. Danger can come from all directions, testing even the most coordinated squads in their ability to communicate, hold positions, and watch flanks. The game supports up to 18 players, so you can have any combination of players and teams, up to six teams. It really brings group/team dynamics back to the battlefield to deal with multiple enemy teams.



At Gamescom, you’ll see some multi-TDM, but at launch, you’ll be able to play multi team game in several modes.



We’re also introducing Hardpoint, a mode inspired by traditional “king of the hill-style” games. Players have to capture a zone and defend it and you won’t score points if you’re not in it. What’s great is that the Hardpoint will move and relocate during the match, which means that the action is always shifting and players are descending on one spot.



During some of the original test phases for multi-format games, the studio took to them quickly and we started having a lot of fun. From that point, we knew it was going to be in the game. And we’re looking forward to giving players a sneak peak at Gamescom, and for everyone to play on November 13." - Call of Duty Elite.

As you can see in the image above, Call of Duty announced that there will be game modes which allow up to 18 players to play together in up to 6 teams at once! This means that huge games can be played in multiple teams. This will give advanced players more of a kick in my opinion because I think having a maximum of 15 players trying to kill you will be harder and more of a challenge for the more advanced players.

There is also mention in the article about a game mode called "Hardpoint" which will be a 'king of the hill' style game mode. I think that this will be an extremely difficult game because it sounds like every man is playing for himself, and you have to defend a certain location for as long as you can without dying to rack up as many points as possible. This means that you could have 5-7 players to kill in order to defend the location!

Both of these game modes sound like they are more attractive to the experienced players as they sound as though they will be a lot more difficult than the "default" game modes we have experienced in all the other Call of Duty titles.

One thing that concerns me at the moment is that there does not seem to be any mention of exclusive maps for the multi-team game modes. This means that there could end up being 18 players on the smallest maps (I.E. Nuketown) which would be hell on earth for any player, although points, deaths and kills would rack up unbelievably fast!

What do you think about the new game modes? Are you excited about them or do you think that you will be avoiding the new game modes if and when you purchase Black Ops 2 in November? Personally, I can't wait to play the new game modes and I can't wait for Black Ops 2!

Old news is old. We knew this weeks ago during the MP reveal and MP LS from Gamescom. :dumb:

This is old.
