Patch 1.04 has introduced both Ground War and Free-for-All to Modern Warfare. There were previously only five game modes in regular quick play with Gunfight, Realism, and Cyber Attack as stand-alone options. Now, Free-for-All and Ground War have been added to multiplayer.

Ground War is a large-scale objective game mode that features up to 64 players in a match at once, the largest in a Call of Duty title excluding battle royale. It features vehicles, such as helicopters and land vehicles. Once one team has captured 250 points, they’ll be crowned the victors. 

Free-for-All has been a staple in Call of Duty since its release in Call of Duty: 4. This is a last-man-standing game mode that ends after a player has reached the score limit. But the top=three players earn a “win.”

Infinity Ward has fixed several bugs in Modern Warfare, like certain challenges not tracking progress. The full patch notes can be viewed below.
