Patch brengt nieuwe gamemodus, verbeterde spawns en meer naar Call of Duty: Ghosts

Infinity Ward heeft een nieuwe patch uitgebracht voor Call of Duty: Ghosts. De patch zorgt ervoor dat er een nieuwe gamemodus vanaf vandaag beschikbaar zal zijn, genaamd Reinforce. In deze modus kun je niet respawnen na de dood, maar kan een teamgenoot er wel voor zorgen dat één teamgenoot weer mee doet door een control point in te nemen. Een winst behaal je door alle control points in te nemen of door het complete vijandelijke team uit te roeien.

Verder brengt de patch verbeterde spawns, wat bug fixes en veranderingen aan enkele wapens. De complete lijst aan veranderingen is onderstaande te vinden.
