Call of Duty: Ghosts Update Adds Reinforce Mode

Call of Duty developer Infinity Ward has posted a new title update for their most recent game, Call of Duty: Ghosts. The title update has been rolled out on all platforms and introduces a fresh new game mode in addition to a host of tweaks and modifications to the existing game.

The game mode is titled Reinforce and how it works is that it doesn’t allow players to respawn on death. Teams can win the match by obliterating the enemy team, capturing three flags, or gaining ground on two objective points.

Here’s what’s in store with the changes:
