A staple in the past few years of competitive Call of Duty, Hardpoint is an objective-based mode that requires players to stand within a capture zone to accumulate points.
With the objective constantly changing location throughout the course of a map, teams couldn’t remain stagnant. This forced players to be cognizant of enemy spawns, Hardpoint rotations, and more, creating entertaining and exciting clashes in the pro CoD scene.
Fans took to social media to flame Infinity Ward for their map choices.With news of the mode supposedly not being available at launch, Call of Duty fans could not have been more frustrated, and took to social media to express their disappointment at the potential exclusion.
Reddit user ‘Nickaap’ even went as far as to issue a damning prediction of the future, state “we’re in for a rough year folks” to the rest of the annoyed fans.
This is just one of many leaks out of the Call of Duty community lately. Among the information that has been shared thus far, it appears as though Modern Warfare could be getting a Battle Royale mode down the line.
