Call of Duty: WWII Multiplayer Modes

Here are the different modes you can play at the time of writing.

Team Deathmatch

It’s simple, really. There are two teams fighting for the most kills. The team to reach the kill cap, or the team with the most kills when the timer runs out, wins the match.

Domination

Domination is a battle for tactical control points dotted around the map. The aim is to get in, kill the opposition, and have your team hold the control points as long as possible, accruing points for each one held.

Free-for-All

It’s every person for themselves in this tight, frantic game mode. The only tip you need is this: if you see someone, pull the trigger. There are no friends here.

Gridiron

It’s American football with guns. Both teams are jostling for control of a ball in the centre of the map. Pick it up, then run it into your opponent’s goal to score.

Search and Destroy

One team attacks, one team defends. There are no respawns. The attacking team must either eliminate the enemy team or place an explosive at one of two bomb sites. The defenders have to hold them off for the time limit or wipe them out.

Hardpoint

Similar to Domination, Hardpoint is all about capturing tactical points on the map. The twist here is that both teams are always fighting over one point, and the point moves position as the match rolls on.

Capture the Flag

A classic game mode, Capture the Flag has both teams trying to get into the other team’s base, steal their flag, and run it back to their base before being shot.

Kill Confirmed

Kill Confirmed is Team Deathmatch with a twist. As well as taking down the enemy team, you have to confirm your kills by making it to the downed player’s body and picking up their dog tags.

Mosh Pit

Mosh Pit is a rotating playlist of different modes. A great choice for those who can’t make up their mind what to play.

War Mode

New to Call of Duty: WWII, War Mode is a narrative-driven battle that alters as you move up the map. One side attacks and one side defends, but the objectives shift as the attackers push forward. If you are looking for an epic recreation of war, look no further.

Headquarters

Headquarters is the place to go for messing about. Call of Duty: WWII’s all-new social space is your hangout for showing off your unlocks, opening loot crates, and taking part in shooting competitions.
