- "Call of Duty Online will showcase the traditional features and play-modes of Call of Duty® with localized, unique content tailored to the needs and interest of gamers in China."
- — Activision
Call of Duty Online (also known as CODOL, CODO and Call of Duty: Online) was a game released exclusively in China as a "free-to-play micro transaction game" published, marketed, and distributed by Tencent Games in partnership with Activision and developed by Activision Shanghai and Raven Software. The game was launched on January 14, 2013 in closed beta with the full release on January 11, 2015.
The game was permanently shutdown on August 31, 2021 in favor of Call of Duty: Mobile which was released in December 2020 in China, with the game's shutdown being announced on May 31, 2021.[3]
The game featured a new gaming model which gives the player the ability to personalize weapons, characters and equipment "with localized, unique content tailored to the needs and interest of gamers in China.". The game also reuses dozens of maps, character models and weapons from both the Modern Warfare and Black Ops series. Ghosts and Advanced Warfare contents have also been added. It essentially featured content from all Call of Duty games from Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare to Call of Duty: Black Ops III.
There was also a robotic PvE mode in Call of Duty Online called Cyborg Rising and Survival Mode from Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3.
While the game was "exclusive" to China prior to its shutdown, it was able to be played in other countries with various methods, although no translations to other languages are available, making playing the game difficult, along with the drawback of playing on Chinese servers, where foreigners would have severely high ping and would have difficulty playing smoothly.
Campaign[]
The game featured a campaign mode in which the player controls Rook and has returning characters such as John Price, John "Soap" MacTavish and Simon "Ghost" Riley. The missions are derivations of multiplayer maps and singleplayer campaigns from the original Modern Warfare trilogy.

Survival Mode[]
Survival Mode reappeared from Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 with changes, including new enemy types.
Cyborg Rising (Dead Rising)[]
On November 30, 2013, Activision announced that Treyarch's Zombies mode will come to Call of Duty Online. This returned as a game mode entitled "Cyborg Rising" The first map, Outpost, is a remake of Nacht der Untoten. The second map, CyborgLab, is a remake of Verrückt, the third map, Ghost Swamp, the remake of Shi No Numa. The fourth map, Machine Manufacturing Plant, is a remake of Der Riese. The characters were Cowboy, Trigger, Sergeant, and Lv Bu.
In a later version, due to some complicated reasons, Raven Software simplified Cyborg Rising mode. Now, the four special characters and a few other features have been removed.

Cyborg Evacuation[]
Cyborg Evacuation, or simply Evacuation, was a game mode featuring some remade multiplayer maps where the player has to find survivors and gather them at the evacuation point whilst being faced with multiple and varying difficulties of Cyborgs. This gamemode is available to play on medium, veteran and heroic. Each one has an increasing amount of survivors to be found. Once the player have escorted all of the survivors the player will then have to face a massive boss mother ship along with rapid amounts of Hellhounds, Cyborgs and Roarers with miniguns. Once done, the players will escape on a helicopter to end the game. Killstreaks and ammo supplies are also placed around the maps similar to the ones seen in the Survival Mode. Both ammo and killstreaks need pokers to be bought. The gamemode can be played with up to six other players.
There were five maps available to play for Cyborg Evacuation, which are Night Quagmire, Farm, Ambush, Estate Tropical and Seatown, more will be added through updates.
Death March[]
There was a mode similar to Cyborg Evacuation in Call of Duty Online, which is named "evac" in game files, just same as Cyborg Evacuation, however it is called Death March and appears alongside Cyborg Evacuation in actual game. In Death March, players have to escort a BTR to save survivors, and at the end, players must kill a large boss to complete the game.
Three maps, Arsenal, Night Farm, and Suburb, were available in Death March.
