Call of Duty: WWII hands-on — War multiplayer mode shines with Operation Breakout

One of the best new features of multiplayer for Call of Duty: WWII is War mode. It’s one of the features that makes WWII stand out from previous Call of Duty games, as it requires real teamwork.

Reminiscent of Battlefield video games, this mode has multiple objectives that you have to take in order to win. If you figure out the right role to play, you can dominate the battle and make dying very easy for your enemies. Each six-on-six match has two parts. One team starts out defending and the other is on the offensive. One is American, while the other German.
