"Kill all who oppose you!"
Reznov, at the start of a Free-For-All match in Call of Duty: World at War.

Variations[]

Hardcore[]

Featured in Call of Duty: World at War, Call of Duty: Black Ops, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, Call of Duty: Black Ops II, Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War and Call of Duty: Vanguard is a hardcore version of Free-for-All. Same rules apply except players have 30% of normal health. Upon death, respawn time is fixed at 7.5 seconds (unlike 15-second waves in Hardcore Team Deathmatch), during which time the dead player can spectate other players. However, due to the fact of it being a hardcore mode, as well as widespread camping and simply the fact that it is every player for themselves with common one hit kills makes the playlist considerably less popular than its regular counterpart.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 features radio sounds for Hardcore Free-for-All, Free-for-All Pro, and 3rd person Free-For-All radio sounds could be heard in 3rd Person Cage Match. But these three game modes have either been scrapped or removed in patches.

Tournament[]

Featured in Call of Duty: Mobile, Tournament Free-For-All featured only 6 players per match, and 15 kills to be the first place. Available as one of the game modes rotation in Tournament.
