Call of Duty: Ghosts' Blitz mode caffeinates Capture the Flag

4.6
Playing a first-person shooter with a horde of strangers in a noisy trade show party is never ideal, but the fundamentals of Call of Duty: Ghosts' new multiplayer mode, Blitz, are pretty easy to grasp. Two opposing teams are dropped onto a map. There are two capture points on the map, one in each team's base. The goal is simple: Each team must capture the opposing control point while simultaneously protecting their own. The first team to 15 captures wins.

But there's a twist: The instant a player steps into an enemy control point, they are immediately teleported back to their base. You don't have to hold the control point for even a second. There's no flag to carry back to your base. The score tally just ticks up instantaneously and then you're right back in your own base, ready to defend it. Basically, Blitz is capture the flag on amphetamines, an adaptation of the classic game type for the twitchy, split-second confrontations we've come to expect from Call of Duty.

I hope that they make the spawns diffrent then they do for CTF other wise people will only score for being sneaky then run out there with a pistol in there hand to grab the objective

I feel like now we will have camping all around the base to make sure nobody is near it. This encourages camping but at the same time it encourages to go to the objective. I really like the look of that map though. I wonder does everyone on your team get transported back or just whoever captured them.
