Team Deathmatch
Team Deathmatch (TDM) is a straightforward game mode familiar to newcomers and seasoned Call of Duty veterans.
Players earn points by scoring kills on the other team. The team that reaches the score limit or has the highest amount when the clock hits zero is declared the winner.
Domination
Domination sees players battle it out to control three objective zones located at opposite ends and the centre of the maps.
Similar to TDM, the team that manages to reach the score limit or have the highest amount of points when the timer runs out wins.
Hardpoint
A staple of competitive Call of Duty, Hardpoint involves players earning points for their team by controlling a single objective that moves around the map to a set rotation.
The first team to reach 250 points achieves victory.
Kill Order
Brand new for Black Ops 6 is Kill Order. Each team is tasked with protecting a high-value target (HVT) while having to eliminate the HVT belonging to the enemy team.
Eliminating the HVT earns a bonus score on top of earning points by scoring kills. The first team to reach 125 points is the winner.
Face Off
Face Off follows the rules of the other game modes with Scorestreaks switched off.
Without any advantages a Scorestreak provides, players must rely on their gun skill in order to secure the win.
Gunfight
Gunfight pits two teams of two against each other using a random loadout. The team that eliminates the opposition or captures the overtime flag wins the round.
The first squad to win six rounds takes home the victory.
