Headquarters
The most popular game mode other than team deathmatch is headquarters. The objective is to try to set up a radio at a randomly spawned spot. Both teams rush for it, and once it is captured by a team they must defend it. The twist is that if your team captures it, you do not get to respawns. So once the headquarters are captured you might want to try camping somewhere close. You get a point for every second you hold the headquarters. The game goes to two hundred fifty points. You get one experience point for every second held, and five points a kill. You get a bonus ten for arming or disarming it. An automatic gun is a must here, along with three frag grenades. If you don't have the frags then go with the three flash bangs. Great game to earn experience points, as some games the better players get over one thousand including the match bonus.
Cage Match
Straight up one on one. You have to pick up the guns and perks as you go, and when you pick one up the area is lit up to your enemy so take caution in what you pick up. Not much strategy here. Simply kill the enemy. You start off with a rather weak sub machine gun. The best way to win is to camp once you get the lead. Not very good experience though as most games become a tie, especially on the bigger maps leading to less than one hundred from the actual game play, and around one hundred from the match bonus. Mostly for fun and it is a lot of fun showing somebody up one on one.
Old School Free For All
Simple free for all game as stated above except you have to pick up all the guns as in the cage match, and your guy can jump higher. This is a favorite to some of the original call of duty gamers.
Ground War
This game mode is just bigger team games of domination and team deathmatch. Strategy is the same just more people to kill, and be killed by. This is a fun game mode to practice for the smaller versions as when you go to fewer people you will find it much easier.
Team Hardcore
Same as team deathmatch only there is no radar at all except when you or your team gets a UAV. This is the best game mode to snipe in as every shot will not give your position away. Snipers and M16s are the best guns to use in this game mode as many people camp, and you want to stay to the sides and avoid the campers.
Hardcore Search and Destroy
Same as regular search and destroy except no radar unless there is a UAV up. You want to stick with an M16 while attacking, and a sniper or M16 while defending. You can use these as you will not show up on the radar when shooting.
Team Tactical
This is the smallest team game type possible. It's three on three deathmatch, headquarters, search and destroy, sabotage, and domination. This is a fun way to mix it up, and if you're good enough a good way to raise that highest kill streak.
Hopefully this guide has taught you a few things you didn't know. With enough practice all these strategies will become very helpful, and as you get used to some of these guns you will start to become the difference between your team winning and losing.
