In Hardcore, they are currently five game modes for players to try out, as classic core game modes become extremely unforgiving, with limited health and no HUD to help players navigate their way around the map. Game modes featured in the Hardcore playlist are:
- HC Free For All
- HC TDM
- HC Kill Confirmed
- HC Domination
- HC Search and Destroy
Noticeable by their absence are party games like One in the Chamber or Gun Game, which have made an appearance in previous Call of Duty titles. While these modes aren’t in the game at launch, it’s possible they will could make an appearance later in the game’s lifespan.
Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 releases worldwide at midnight on Friday, October 12, and with 13 game modes available to play, fans of the franchise will have plenty to sink their teeth into.
