Call of Duty: Modern Warfare introduced a completely new mode to the game with NVG Reinforcement. Let’s take a look at what it has to offer and which tactics lead to victory.
What kind of mode is this? The new mode “NVG Reinforcement” combines a few classic game modes with a military night walk. This works quite well and is especially fun in a team. The mode was introduced with the last playlist update and brings fresh air into the multiplayer shooter.
In this form, this match type has never existed in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, so here is a brief introduction with tips for winning the Season-2 mode.
A nighttime mixture of Cyber Attack and Domination
Which modes are combined here? The rules are similar to Cyber Attack. You only have one life but can be revived. Instead of planting bombs, you have to capture flags, like in Domination. And instead of directly reviving your teammates, you can only bring them back when your team captures a flag.
Another peculiarity is the number of players. The mode is a 4vs4 and with only 8 players, significantly fewer are involved than in most other public modes, which are 6vs6.
The “NVG” stands for “night-vision goggles” and means “night vision goggles”. The entire mode takes place in the dark and gives the mission an extra kick.
How can you win? The team that can win 4 matches wins the round. You can win the match in three ways:
- Eliminate all opponents
- Hold the most flags when the time runs out
- Capture all flags
However, there is one exception. If an opponent is currently on a flag while your team captures the 3rd and last flag, you do not win immediately, but the enemy can still capture the flag and secure the game.
Flag management as the key to victory
How to win best? The fastest and most common way to victory is by eliminating opponents. However, this can sometimes become quite challenging, as the enemies can revive their entire team when a flag is captured.
This means you sometimes have to secure 3 flags with only 4 players. Even if just one opponent is sneaking around the map, it’s no easy task. However, with a few tactics, you can gain a significant advantage:
- Prepare a night vision loadout – For the small night shift, you should avoid scopes and lasers. Many scopes do not work, and even the small lasers can give you away. Silencers work better.
- Let your flag rest – Capture your own flag only when someone from your team has fallen. This way you can refill your squad immediately.
- Tactic for B – Start full speed ahead and go to B with three players. If the attack fails, capture your flag and try again. If you then capture B, your team will be refilled once again.
- Play carefully – When the initial rush is over, slow down. The modes with only one life play out a little differently. Use the aggressiveness of the opponents to get your aim on them faster when they charge at you.
- Split up but stay together – Communicate and coordinate, but stay just far enough apart that you can still see each other. If one player goes down, they remain in play and can help a bit through spectator mode.
- Plan A or C – Many teams leave their own flag unattended when rushing to B. You could place a teammate near the enemy point and then capture the flag at the right moment to fully replenish your team.
In a team, the mode really shines, and you need very few other players. Modes with 4-player teams are, by the way, an optimal preparation for the squad combat in the upcoming Battle Royale of Modern Warfare “Warzone”.
