Meet The Specialists Of Call Of Duty’s Extinction Mode

Extinction, the horde mode replacing (or so it seems) zombies for Call of Duty: Ghosts will feature four classes specific to the mode, according to this post yesterday afternoon from the game’s developer.

The classes are rather meat-and-potatoes: Weapon Specialist, Tank, Engineer and Medic. The first two are your offensive classes, the second two are support. Of note, the Engineer can armour the team’s drill, which is the weapon used to destroy an alien hive. (You can see that in action, sorta, in the official announcement video here.)

Basically, the weapon specialist deals 20 per cent more bullet damage; tanks absorb damage, engineers secure the drill and medics revive everyone. “The most successful teams will consist of a variety of classes, using different abilities to best complement each other and adequately defend against the alien horde,” Infinity Ward says.

The game, of course, arrives next week.
