Since the launch of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II and Warzone, the company has turned to the soccer world cup. First with match bets, which were rewarded with in-game items, and now with its own LTM that is inevitably reminiscent of Rocket League.
As its name suggests, it is a temporary mode that will only be available for a few days. From today, which starts the Season 1 Reloaded (the midseason of Call of Duty), until December 23, the date on which the event will close Modern Warfare FCa few days after the end of the FIFA World Cup which will be on November 18.
The game mode is free for all players, and each game will be played by up to 6 players in a 3v3. Each player will have one of those available in Warzone and the one who scores the most goals against the opponent’s goal will win. Each match has a time limit of eight minutes.
And just like in real life, after every goal, the ball and all Operators reset to their starting positions to resume play. The first team to reach five goals, or the team that scores the most goals in eight minutes, wins the match.
Rocket League Call of Duty style
Unlike other modes of Call of Duty, there are no Loadouts or traditional weaponry. Instead, each Quad is equipped with an ability of pulse that sends a powerful burst of energy towards the ball or other Quads. You will be able to ram enemies, but it will be the only thing to fight with. And be careful, because combat is important in this game mode:
- If an Operator rams an enemy player at full speed, destroy that Operator’s vehicle, temporarily removing it from the field and forcing a respawn.
- Operators can collect Shock Sticks around the stadium, which can be thrown at enemy Quads to temporarily disable their movement, allowing them to score goals.
The game mode will be available in its own playlist, it is totally free and it is perhaps the ideal companion for player packs in Call of Duty of Messi, Neymar and Pogba that are still available, although it is quite probable that they will leave the store once the Modern Warfare FC event is over.
