October 31, 200718 yr A community manager for Infinity Ward has posted some details on the new Old School Gamemode. Old School is a new game mode that completely changes the way MP is played. No Classes, so everyone starts off with the Scorpion and pistol with no perks. Perks and Weapon pick ups are scattered around the map. In addition players have increased health and increased jump height. Essentially it's all about using the new settings to your advantage, learning the maps and best weapon pick up / perk combo placements in the map because once a weapon / perk is picked up you have to wait for it to respawn. I can honestly say that some of my favorite games have been in Old School mode. I play it a lot when we just want to jump in and have fun, although I stick to objective gametypes and normal team deathmatch for my serious games. I think of Old School as the opposite of Hardcore Mode. While Hardcore is for serious balls to the wall gaming, Old School is just crazy / mess around games. He also answered a few other questions people had asked: Capture the Flag will not be available at launch They will be having many updates based on community feedback They are considering/working on an online stats page for COD4
October 31, 200718 yr Author Are you going to be able play all these different modes ranked? Yes. From what I see there are 3 game modes; there is old school, hardcore(realism), and I'm guessing there is a "regular" game mode which is like the previous COD's. Within each of these gamemodes you can play all of the different map modes which are ctf, death match etc..
October 31, 200718 yr Oh man that sounds awesome! Reminds me a little bit of Goldeneye and Perfect Dark for some reason. It just brings back memories of memorizing maps to find the body armor and weapons.
October 31, 200718 yr Author I'm actually not a fan of old school mode, I just prefer the regular mode. Seems a little too arcadey. I like having my weapons pre-set and not having to run around finding everything. I would rather just go for the objective. I don't see this taking off as some of the other modes will.
