Greetings fellow gamers, Call of Duty Ghosts has a new game mode called Search and Rescue and it is what Kill confirmed is to Team Deathmatch. Search and destroy has been a popular game mode in Call of Duty for a long while and personally I just could never get into it even when I practically knew the maps of Black Ops 2 inside out I didnt enjoy playing it as it was too full of people who were messing around and werent team work based players and was too focused on trolling via their headsets. I also did not enjoy having to wait to respawn as that got quite annoying and fast. In Call of duty Ghosts Search and Rescue takes everything Search and destroy does and adds a new layer of strategy by adding tags and all that means is that if you kill someone you need to pick up the tag to eliminate them out of the round whereas they can also be saved if a teammate picks up their tag. Its been a controversial change in the Call of Duty community with playing praising and criticising the mode but personally I like it as from my experiences with the mode so far it really has cut down on the amount of campers in my experience. This isnt is slate campers or anything but it got annoying when you died due to somebody camping in a particular location and you’d have to wait to respawn in the whole round. Some would say for you to learn the popular camping spots but learning the most popular spots might not save you from getting sniped long range early on and then having to sit out for the rest of the round, at least now theres a second chance of one of your teammates (or potatoes if youre playing solo) of picking up your tag. Some might say that instead of camping people they are now just going camp tags instead which is fair enough but the way I see it is if you see a tag in the distance and you are going to collect it, youre instinctively going to be a lot more alert due to the possibility of somebody watching it which may not happen if you were playing Search and Destroy. Personally I think the criticism stems from two things; the first being that Search and Destroy was not available at the start but that migated by the addition of it in the November 15th patch. The other being that people just dont like change which is sad really as I feel Search and Rescue fits Ghosts more than Destroy does. The maps on Black Ops 2 were small meaning that it wouldnt take long for a match to end (it was still a while due to the campers) but on Ghosts the maps are actually quite big and open which personally I feel does NOT suit Search and Destroy because its too easy to be picked off at a distance but maybe thats how some people like it, I personally wouldnt want to be running around for an age trying to locate the enemy only to be picked off as it makes a slow game mode more slower than it has to be. With Search and Rescue I suppose youre encouraged more to Stick with your squad mates if you dont want to die and find your tag picked up immediately but people still go their separate ways anyway and I guess thats the appeal of Search and Destroy and Search and Rescue, its a more tactical mode and you cant be too careless with your virtual life or youll find that it ends very shortly. I guess there may never be an agreement to which is the better mode but right now its all about enjoying the mode that you prefer and I prefer Search and Rescue and others might prefer Search and Destroy. I havent tried out Search and Destroy as of this recording but I will do very soon and hopefully Ill enjoy it a bit more than I did on Black Ops 2. Thank you for watching this video, it is very much appreciated; take care of yourselves and Silver Assassin out. youtu.be/MibgsqVPgVg
