Call of Duty: Ghosts dev teases 'Squads' mode

4.5
Infinity Ward executive producer Mark Rubin has taken a tip from Battlefield's Twitter strategy and released a short grainy video teasing a new feature in Call of Duty: Ghosts.

The six-second teaser clip appears to show a menu screen that looks much like a menu of the Call of Duty series, and clearly shows a 'Squads' menu screen.

There are two visible sub-menu options on the screen, one a simple 'Options' and the other reading 'Online Play'. A third option is blurred out.

The developer is yet to reveal a co-op mode for Ghosts, and 'Squads' could be the replacement to the Modern Warfare series' Spec-Ops mode, which allowed two players to co-operate in small sub-missions.

Infinity Ward studio community coordinator Candice Capen has previously told fans that Ghosts will "have a cooperative mode of sort" after rumours that the long-standing Spec-Ops mode had been scrapped.

While no further information was teased today, the appearance of a Squads mode would suggest co-operative gameplay in similar manner to Spec-Ops mode but with more than two players.

Rubin said in July that CoD fans should look forward to a multiplayer reveal in "mid-August" - suggesting a possible Gamescom reveal - when we will likely hear more on Squads as well as competitive multiplayer.

GibbityTree Just stick to Multiplayer and Campaign (Although it's gonna suck anyway.) Actually, just make COD multiplayer, that's all people look forward to anyway. Who gets hyped over a COD campaign? -___-


Squads is a feature of Multiplayer...

I actually like the campaign. The stories are always flourished with detail. Plus, it's as if you are in a movie yourself. Of course multiplayer is the main part lot of COD players get the game, but it's always nice to appreciate the effort they put in the campaign.

Pretty sure this is gonna be either similar to Spec Ops like MW2 and MW3. Or maybe this would be like missions squads are assigned to deal with. Fire teams maybe?

Suddenly is Spec Ops.

COD maps are far too small to have the squad feature Battlefield does. Anyway, the picture looks like a new spec ops menu. Online only probably...
