Call of Duty: WWII hands-on — Gridiron is like football with guns

While Call of Duty: WWII has a very serious single-player campaign about bravery in the Second World War, multiplayer is another matter. It can be a ridiculous romp for esports fans, and that’s exactly how you should think about Gridiron.

The multiplayer mode pits two sides against each other on a map. Each side has a goal, and the object is to grab a ball and move it into your opponent’s goal. The only difference compared to American football or rugby is that you can shoot the other team. If you score, you get seven points, just like in American football. But there are no field goals. You simply pick the ball up and run with it and hope that your teammates have your back.
