Ahead of its November 5th release, Vanguard's multiplayer will launch with a total of seven game modes that will be very familiar to seasoned veterans of the franchise.

Call of Duty Vanguard Multiplayer Game Modes
Out of the seven game modes available to play as soon as Vanguard launches, only one of them is brand-new. Despite this, there are enough modes to cater for those that prefer to play the objective and those that prefer to run and gun the opposition. Here's a full list of modes in Vanguard:
- Free-for-All
- Team Deathmatch
- Search & Destroy
- Domination
- Kill Confirmed
- Hardpoint
- Patrol
- Control (New)
As part of the Season 1 update, Control has been added to Vanguard. Teams must attack and defend two objectives with a total of 30 lives to work with. The team that runs out of lives or manages to capture the objectives wins the round.
