Ground War

For similarly named game types, see War (objective mode) and War Mode.

Ground War, also known as Booms of Plenty as an April Fool's day joke, is a playlist for 12-18 players. It is the only playlist that can accommodate 18 players (except for Hardcore War in Call of Duty: World at War, and Infected in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, Call of Duty: Ghosts for the Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and PC, and in Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare, as all others can have no more than 12 players). This game-type appears in every main Call of Duty game since Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare. Ground War is not present on Nintendo Wii and has been discontinued on the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 platforms after Call of Duty: Black Ops II, due to the limitations in performance for the old gen consoles.

The mode returns in Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 's Blackout mode as a 50v50 Battle Royale mode. 

In Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, the player count of Ground War has been increased significantly, featuring 32v32 matches on specific large maps and squad spawning mechanics. Standard multiplayer also has 10v10 and 20v20 maps, though these are not considered Ground War in this game.
