— Playlist Description

Ground War: Combat Outpost is a multiplayer game mode featured in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4. It is a variant of the modern-day Ground War.

In this variant, there are 3 points located in buildings around the map known as outposts. When an outpost is captured, the capture can be chained up to 3 more times (similar to Control) in order to unlock upgrades known as reinforcements for that outpost, the first being a slow-pinging, expanding UAV scan from the center of the outpost, the second being care packages being deployed near the outpost, and the third being armored vehicles such as the Heavy Tank being deployed near the outpost as well. Neutralizing an outpost stops all benefits from being given to said outpost, but anything still active and owned by other team will remain until it despawns or is destroyed. Outposts also give different amounts of score from 10, 15, 20, and 25 depending on how much they have been reinforced, and scoring occurs every 5 seconds. The first team to reach 1500 points wins the match.
