Squads (Ghosts)

Squads is a feature that is scheduled to appear in Call of Duty: Ghosts. Squads is made up of the ten characters the player is allowed to create in the Mutliplayer mode and set among unique gamemodes involving AI controlled enemies and squad mates in solo or multiplayer play that also count towards players' XP. The four gamemodes include Squad Assault, Safeguard, Safeguard Infinite, Squad vs Squad, and Wargame.

Squads vs Squads involves two opposing players in a 1v1 match against each other and their squad. Wargame involves the player and five squad mates of their choosing and pits them against a team of enemy bots in a mode that "replicates the full multiplayer experience". The mode is compatible with every multiplayer gamemode available. Safeguad involves the player and up to three other friends in a wave-based survival match similar to Modern Warfare 3's Survival mode, but with the addition of perks and scorestreaks. Safeguard Infinite can be inferred to be similar to the normal Safeguard mode, but with an infinite number of enemy waves. Finally, Squad Assault involves the player and up to five other friends or squad mates in a cooperative match against a squad of AI controlled enemies comprised of a seperate player's squad. The mode allows players to pick six members from their created squad to "defend" a selected map and multiplayer gamemode. Players and their party then go into the match vs a squad of either a friend's created characters or an online player's squad. If the AI squad happens to win the match, then XP is rewarded to the owner of said squad. All of these modes can be played while online or offline in Ghosts.
