A New Raid Game Mode Will In Modern Warfare II
If this game mode can only be completed with a pre-made group to exceptional coordination, then these raids could potentially flop.

I have some interesting gaming news today. I enjoy reading and writing about new developments in the gaming world.
The new raids mode was announced during the Call of Duty Next Livestream on Twitch. This will be a multiplayer game mode with PvE elements to it, similar to Destiny’s raid game modes.
It will be “a three-player cooperative engagement requiring teamwork and strategic, puzzle-solving thinking in-between bouts of intense combat.”
This new game mode will be available after the MWIIs season 1 starts on the 16th of November.
We don’t have too much information on raids as of yet, but in the coming weeks, we can expect some details to arise, hopefully.
Of course, we can’t expect this new raid game mode to be as good as Destiny’s raid game mode since CoD is not an MMO-style FPS.
But this is an interesting sign that CoD could be heading in a unique direction with its military FPS.
Evidence of this is their Warzone game mode. Before Warzone, CoD was only known for its regular FPS game modes.
But after many people took an interest in Battle Royale games, CoD introduced their contribution in the Battle Royale genre.
This proved to work out very well since CoD is now also known for its Battle Royale game mode.
What I’m getting at is that the addition of raids could potentially drive CoD into an MMO shooter genre, kind of like Destiny.
We don’t know if this new raid game mode is going to be exactly what we expect.
CoD could potentially nail this game mode, but it may or may not be completely accessible by all players.
What I mean is raids are usually known to be a tough challenge that requires a lot of communication between players to complete adequately.
If this game mode can only be completed with a pre-made group to exceptional coordination, then these raids could potentially flop.
But if the devs figure out a way to have players adequately play through the entire raid with random group members, this new addition could potentially be an absolute slam dunk.
There is still a bunch of Modern Warfare II related news to be covered, so keep an eye out since I will be covering a few more aspects revealed in the recent live stream.
Until then, have a good one, and thank you for reading.
