MULTIPLAYER

Call of Duty: Ghosts multiplayer

Six-versus-six is the core. Some modes go higher on newer platforms. I do not have a 2026 playlist from Activision, so I will not invent which modes are still in rotation.

From my notes. The Xbox store page says online multiplayer is 2–18 players and local is 2–2. The PlayStation page says up to 18 online and 1–2 local. Wikipedia is specific that Infected reaches 18 on Xbox One, PS4 and PC, and 12 on older platforms. Those are the caps I will quote.

What was new in 2013

Create-a-Soldier, pointstreaks in three packages, dynamic maps, a KEM strike, an ODIN streak, and Squads that can be played offline. Perks use an 8-point budget that can reach 12 if you drop weapons or equipment.
There are 35 perks, 46 weapons and 31 maps. Those counts are the Fandom category totals used across this site.

Modes, without a live lobby claim

Named modes include Team Deathmatch, Kill Confirmed, Search and Destroy, Domination, Free-for-All, Cranked, Blitz, Infected, Ground War, Gun Game, Hunted, Grind, Drop Zone, Reinforce, Search and Rescue, and Safeguard.
Which of those still appear in a public lobby in 2026 is not in an official list I could read on 23 October 2026. For offline options, use Squads and Safeguard.

Questions

How many players in a match?

Core maps are 6v6. The store pages list up to 18 online. Wikipedia limits that 18-player note to Infected on Xbox One, PS4 and PC.

What is a pointstreak?

A scorestreak package. Kills are not the only way to earn points. Assault, Support and Specialist are the three chains.

Can I play with bots?

Yes, through Squads, including offline. That is a different menu from public matchmaking.
