Meanwhile, the beta was also the first time players were able to try the new four-team Fireteam game mode, specifically Fireteam Dirty Bomb.
Fireteam Dirty Bomb inCall of Duty: Black Ops Cold Waris a unique new mode forCall of Duty. Played on very large maps, teams of four compete against each other, with a total of 40 players, to blow up bomb sites and stop other teams from doing the same.

Meanwhile, large scale battles take place on big maps, and Fireteam modes allow for team-oriented action. The maps that were built for Fireteam also may make up thenewWarzonemap, asCold Warwill see integration with the battle royale, and even likely introduce tons of new content.
