Announcement | Patch Notes | blog post

Update Time: 6/27 0:00-4:00 GMT+8

New Mode

• Tech Search & Destroy

Gametype: Search & Destroy

Number of Maps in Rotation: 7

Team Size: 6V6

Unlocked at Level: 6

Introduction: This mode has the same rules as the classic S&D mode, but there is an economy system and new tactical equipments involved. We hope to bring a more tactical and strategic S&D variation to S&D enthusiasts.

EDIT: Details: In-game economy/currency system (similar to Counter Strike de_ mode), players earn money through scoring kills and completing objectives, and then spend them on various weapons and equipments. Some special equipments and items that changes the gameplay of the classic Search & Destroy mode: bullet vest/armor, and bomb defusal robot image bring new strategies and tactics to teams battling against each other in this exclusive game mode, first in the Call of Duty series on Call of Duty Online.

New Map

• 'Energy Base' (exclusive to S&D) (translated directly)

The overall design and style of this map comes from the multiplayer map Solar from Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare. The map has a gigantic renewable energy facility; to prevent the development of the energy technology, Task Force 141 is sent onto a search and destroy mission targeting the key equipments of data.

Comment

EDIT: Along with the patch, a new weapon series of a futuristic theme is starting to be available and apparently the kill counter weapon decoration is on those weapons image1 image2; more on the weapon series.

• New mode: there are no details of the new S&D mode now; but my guess from the 'economy system' is that it'll be similar to the de_ mode in Counter Strike, where each player has their own amount of money during game, and players have to play objectives to earn money for spending them for weapons. EDIT: I guessed it!

• New map: if I remember correctly, this would be CoD Online's first inspiration from Advanced Warfare. It'll be interesting to see how they can turn a map designed for a more vertical movement system, to one for the boots on the ground.

• New weapon: compound bow; also no idea of how it looks or how it functions. Personally, I really liked the crossbow as a special, wildcard weapon.
