Maps
Call of Duty: Ghosts will feature 14 Multiplayer Maps out of the box. Four DLC Map Packs are also planned throughout the life of the game, but not much information has been released.
Chasm
Large map with an underground tube station.
chasm-layout-1.jpg
Free Fall (Pre-Order Bonus)
Free Fall takes place in a shattered skyscraper on the brink of collapse; close-quarters combat is plentiful as the map dynamically changes. The skyscraper continues to fall throughout the match, which changes paths and chokepoints - players need to react fast to the changes.
Octane
This Las Vegas based map is medium sized and features a gas station that can be destroyed, unknown if Drunk Mercy will be a terrain altering attack
Strikezone
A medium sized map that takes place inside a stadium that features a mix of indoor and outdoor combat. Players that complete a field order can earn the "Odin Strike", which kills the enemy team and completely transforms the map.
strikezone-layout-1.jpg
Whiteout
Takes place in a fishing village during winter time.
whiteout-layout-1.jpg
Stonehaven
Takes place in a European castle? You can open an close a gate

Game Types
Blitz
Blitz Mode is a new Call of Duty: ghosts Multiplayer variant. Similar to Capture the Flag, Blitz Mode substitutes proximity for retrieval. Enemy zones include certain goal area. Touching the opponent's goal scores a point and begins a cool-down period, after which a goal may be touched again by teammates. Thus, teams may linger in hostile territory, scoring points again and again so long as they can hold territory around a goal. Once you score a point on the enemies goal you will be teleported back to your own goal with you once again having to run the full length to reach the enemies goal.
Cranked
A new type of TDM gamemode that will be appearing for the first time in Call of Duty: Ghost. When you get a kill, you gain new abilities such as faster movement, reload, and the time it takes to aim down sites. Along with this first kill you also start a new 30 second count-down. Rack up the next kill before the timer hits zero, or you’ll explode. In this mode, players not only end up competing against the competition, but also against the clock.
Domination
Classic domination returns, two teams face off for control of three points on the map. The more points you control the more points you score each second, unless you hold all three then you must be Mechanical and you flipped the fucking spawns again
Free-for-All
No teams, just 8 people against each other hiding in corners till someone hits 30 kills
Grind
No info available
Hunted
No info available
Infected
No info available
Kill Confirmed
Two teams face off, when a player is killed they drop a "Dogtag" picking up a "tag" from a enemy that was killed gives your team +1 while picking up a "tag" from a teammate who was killed prevents the other team from scoring a point
Search and Destroy
It's counterstrike but don't worry you can still get clips for your sick quikskop 'tage
Search & Rescue
A take on Search & Destroy, but rather than having a single life per round, in Search & Rescue your team can revive you. It combines that teamwork and communication from Kill Confirmed with the objective-based cooperation of Search & Destroy.
Team Deathmatch
Team deathmatch puts a team of players against another team of players, no fancy gimmicks just lots of killing till one team hits the goal.
Squads
Squads
Squads is a new game mode in Ghosts. In it, the player can play with AI controlled teammates or even with friends against AI. XP is shared between Multiplayer and Squads, so levelling up in Squads helps your character in Multiplayer as well. There are five modes within Squads:

Squad vs Squad: Involves two opposing players versing 1v1, with squad members filling in the rest of the team, making 6v6.

Wargame: The player and five other squad members verse a team of six opposing bots in a mode set to "replicate" the full MP experience. This mode will be available on every single MP game type.

Safeguard: The player and up to three other players take part in a match based on Survival in Modern Warfare 3, with Perks and Scorestreaks also involved.

Safeguard Infinite: Supposedly similar to Safeguard with no limit to the waves.

Squad Assault: The player and up to five other players or squad members verse a squad consisting of another player's squad. Any XP goes to Multiplayer progress.

Pointstreaks
Assault Strike Package
The Assault set of Pointstreaks is designed to inflict harm on the enemy team, so it is filled with various attacks. The Pointstreaks reset on two conditions, with one being the death of the player. The other involves cycling through all three Pointstreaks that were picked, and they cannot be stacked to where the player is holding onto two of the same Pointstreak for use. Note that any kills acquired through any Pointstreak in this set will contribute to newer ones.

[3 Kills] SAT COM - Ground Deployable UAV
[4 Kills] IMS - Similar to the IBMS of MW3, A multi-shot bouncing betty
[5 Kills] Guard Dog - Calls in "Riley" an attack dog that follows the player around, think the AH6 Overwatch from MW3 but on the ground
[6 Kills] Sentry Gun - Sentry Gun, Same thing as always
[6 Kills] Battle Hind - Calls in an attack helicopter
[7 Kills] Vulture - Similar to the dragonfire
[8 Kills] Gryphon - Like the Vulture (dragonfire) but with explosives
[10 Kills] Maniac - Once obtained from a dropped care package (how it is called in), players will receive a Juggernaut-like armor and a Knife along with a Throwing Knife. The Maniac has unlimited sprint and runs faster than normal Juggernauts, as well as other players.
[10 Kills] Juggernaut - Airdropped in and once picked up the player recieves Juggernaut armor and a minigun
[12 Kills] Helo Pilot - Allows the player to fly a helicopter with miniguns around the map, think gunship only hopefully this time not glitched

Support Strike Package
The Support set of Pointstreaks is designed to help support the player and his team. Note that when you kill an enemy with any Pointstreak in this set, you do not gain points towards newer ones. Also, the Pointstreaks do no reset when the player dies, but only when the player reaches the third Pointstreak they have chosen.

Support
[4 Points] SAT COM - Ground Deployable UAV
[6 Points] Ballistic Vests - Same as MW3, bag of vests that give teammates extra health
[8 Points] Box of Guns - Similar to the Ballistic Vests it is a box that when teammates (or the player) interact with gives guns and ammo
[9 Points] Night Owl - Calls in a small drone that follows the player, while deflecting projectiles and notifing the player about nearby enemies, acting as an mobile Trophy System and Motion Sensor, will aid teammates after your death
[10 Points] MAAWS Launcher - Multi-role Anti-Armor Weapon System, rocket launcher that can be manually guided to targets, rocket divides into two projectiles mid flight.
[12 Points] Ground Jammer - Ground Deployable CUAV (counter uav)
[12 Points] Air Superiority - Calls in an A-10 Thunderbolt II to attack any aircraft on the map (care package choppers included)
[13 Points] Support Squadmate - Calls in an AI Willeth teammate with Riot shield to protect you
[13 Points] Heli Sniper - The player selects an area of the map for a helicopter to hover and the player controls a sniper able to fire at targets, sniper can be taken out without destroying the helicopter
[14 Points] Oracle - Blackbird? Tracks enemy players
[14 Points] Juggernaut Recon Calls in an air dropped Juggernaut armor (with riot shield?)

Specialist Strike Package
The Specialist Strike Package is different from the other two, in that, there are no actual Pointstreaks chosen as rewards. Instead, the player chooses Perks instead of Pointstreaks. They can choose any additional Perk and at 2/4/6 points, they will be awarded it during matches. It is unclear if the added bonus of achieving 8 points will award the player all additional Perks or not. Note that dying will reset this Strike Package.

Specialist
[2 Kills] First Extra Perk
[4 Kills] Second Extra Perk
[6 Kills] Third Extra Perk

Field Orders
Field Orders are special assignments (or almost like hidden Pointstreaks), where the players can pick up a blue suitcase should they kill the top player on the enemy team. This will give them a special assignment that if the player succeeds, they will get a Care Package to bring in. The Care Package can contain various rewards, which are powerful, map-altering attacks.

Care Package - General placeholder for other "Field Order" bonus streaks that will be announced.
K.E.M. Strike - Once deployed, a 5 second countdown timer commences and when it reaches zero, all enemy players are killed and the map is changed. Only available on Strikezone.
Satellite Crash - A satellite crashes into the map, changing the layout slightly, jamming the mini-map and the HUD will become translucent. Only available on Whiteout.
Odin Strike - Available on "Strikeout"

Other info incoming shortly

    I was starting to think I must be doing something wrong, as I hadn't gotten any hate mail for BLOPS2 yet. Then a few days ago I got my first message, and the floodgates opened. Today's really takes the cake though. It was a series of messages with just a handful of words in each one, that came to me like this:

    i wish i could
    murder you camping
    fa**ot then I
    rape your mom and
    cut her into
    pieces and eat her

    I need tips on how to gold the RPG. (I found the multi-kill challenge to be the most difficult one for the SMAW. : ( )
    Currently somewhere in my 20:ies (just unlocked the crossbow), but I have a perma-unlock left.
    So what build should I be looking at to earn the disrespect, sighs and rolleyes of others?

    Same here. Only two guns with golden camo and maximum prestige. Type 25 and the 870. Getting close with MP7 though.

    Finally got my 100 headshots with the Skorpion last night, shortly before the power went out. Took me longer than any other smg for some reason even though i now have my highest kdr with it. I should be able to finish off the other camo unlocks for it this weekend, and then I'll have some diamond camo.

    And then it's on to ARs, LMGs or shotguns. I don't think I want to deal with the mobility difference from SMGs to LMGs after that much time spent speeding around, so maybe I'll alternate ARs and shotguns depending on maps.

    Made my first highlight reel last night. HCKC and one dude kept bitching about some of us flipping spawns but fuck him since it's not like we're A) defending anything or B) those tags are gomna come to us.

    Got first blood, managed to get a triple (+ a couple of Blood Thirsties) and a CP stealth chopper that I parked right over their spawn.

    Its kill confirmed the spawns flip at their own whim in that mode, play something objective if you want semi-predictable spawns.
