COD: Ghost Update Adds New Match Type & Various Fixes
A free update has been released for Call of Duty: Ghosts that will add a new match type called Reinforce, which will also be playable in a private match. Reinforce is a team-based match in which when a player is killed, they will remain out of the game until their team either captures a control point, wins the Reinforce match by capturing or holding two control points, eliminating all members of the opposing team or by capturing all three flags on that map.
