Infinity Ward developed FPS title, Call of Duty: Ghosts gets a new update that adds a new game mode titled Reinforce and fixes bugs.
The new update has been released for PC, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360 and Xbox One. The new game mode is a team-based competitive mode where if any player is killed in the battle, then they have to stay out of the game until their teammate manages to capture a control point. This game mode tasks players to capture and hold two control points wiping out the enemy team, or by capturing all three flags on the map. This mode will be available in Private Matches.
This parch will also bring improvements in spawning during the Free For All, Team Deathmatch, Kill Confirmed. The new update will also be balancing some of the weapons in the game.
Meanwhile, details have been revealed on Sledgehammer Games' axed third-person video game, Call of Duty that was set in the Vietnam War. Glen Schofield and Michael Condrey, co-founder of Sledgehammer spoke to Game Informer during an interview about the widely reported game.
"We had the underground tunnels. We were definitely getting some Dead Space moments. I don't mean that from sci-fi, I mean that was a war that was scary for the [American soldiers]. They didn't know if in the jungle there was a booby trap, or what was in those tunnels," Schofield to Game Informer.
But the game was given up after six to eight months into development. It was axed because of the controversial nature surrounding Vietnam War.
