Tired of the same old multiplayer? Of course you are, all these games play exactly the same! Well, there's a shakeup coming your way, with the Call of Duty: WWII Blitzkrieg Community Event underway now!
The haters are swarming you, and it's time to push back. Gather your squad, hit the front lines, and earn some extra rewards for your effort. Ol' Captain Butcher is back, and you know how he rolls; deep. Butcher has six brand new weapons to use in the firefights in Ground War, which is a brand new, bigger 9-on-9 game mode. The fighting has even reached your beloved HQ, so you better get your ass over to that free, playable map for Prop Hunt and Gun Game modes.
But grab your gun and get shooting, because the Blitzkrieg Event is only available until Tuesday, May 8.
Here's what you're going to get:
Ground War
The Ground War multiplayer game mode is the biggest battle available in Call of Duty: WWII. With 9-on-9 matches across Team Deathmatch, Kill Confirmed, Domination and War, the stakes are bigger, and there is more danger around every corner. Ground War is available now, and visit CallofDuty.com to learn how to earn 2XP for playing it.
You’ll find modes like Team Deathmatch, Domination, and Kill Confirmed in Ground War throughout Blitzkrieg, so keep an eye on the Featured Tab in the Public Match lobby and get ready to make new friends!
