This game type is often played by clans because they can occupy an entire team with only three or four players. Because of the small number of players, only small or medium sized maps are available. This is one of the only playlists in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 that enables party chat on Xbox 360.
Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered[]
The maximum number of players: 6. (3 per team); although in the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare: Reflex Edition, the maximum number of players is increased to 10 (5 per team).
The game types available are slightly more limited than the two previous games, removing Headquarters Pro and also comes in Third Person mode. However, with the Stimulus Package update, Team Tactical in First Person became an option. Search and Destroy was added in a playlist update for all platforms. There are 5 possible game modes for Team Tactical.
In Core, it is still an objective based game mode with everything available.
In Barebones though, equipment, attachments, killstreaks and contracts are not available to the players. Therefore only primary and secondary weapons, lethal and tactical grenades may be used.
