Defcon (Call of Duty: Endgame)

Defcon is an upgraded version of the Modern Warfare 2 where the game progress in stages from Defcon 5 to Defcon 1. Teams can increase each others Defcon levels by doing certain actions and getting kills. Successfully increasing the other teams Defcon Level awards the team points to spend on weapons, perks, base defences and kill-streaks as well as reducing there own Defcon Level.

Overview[]

Each team is given an area of the map that is there fortress which houses the ‘panic button’. The goal of each team is to get the other team to Defcon, where upon a timer begins to count down, usually a minute, in which the other team has to lower their Defcon level or loose the map. Defcon levels can be reduced by spending kill points on the panic button which when pressed lowers the Defcon Level one stage. Defcon matches are timed and will increase the Defcon Level as the game progresses. If both teams are active at the end of the game the one with the most remaining points wins the match. The only other way to win the game is to ‘buy’ the Tactical Nuke killstreak, although unlike other modes the player can prevent the nuke’s detonation by spending a large amount of points on the ‘panic button’.

Teams gain points by killing other players and invading the enemy teams fortress. If a team can take the others fortress and press the ‘panic button’ the Defcon Level raises to level 1 regardless of where it once was. Once the player has gained enough points they can spend it on one of the following; the weapons rack, the vending machine, the contractor list or the radio broadcast station. Each of these will give the player a reward in return for a set number of points and once purchased will stay with the player with the remainder of the map, the only exception are kill-streaks from the radio broadcast station. Each faction has its own unique upgrades, although weapons can be picked up by anyone, in order to give each team an advantage.

Rewards[]

Weapons Rack[]

The Weapons Rack allows Weapons to be purchased as well as allowing you to restock your ammo. Each team will be given a starting set of weapons, usually an assault rifle, M9 Handgun and Frag Grenades and Flashbangs. When purchasing a weapon it becomes available to the whole team and will spawn on a slot on the wall with a random attachment and camouflage suited for the environment.

Vending Machine[]

The Vending Machine gives the player a random Perk or Death Streak when fed points. Once purchased the Perk will stay with the player through the entire game and will be spread through the entire team. Each team has access to a Tier 1, 2 and 3 Perk as well as a death-streak which are given as drinks, similar to the power-ups in Zombie mode and must be picked up before they can be activated.

Contractor List[]

The Contractor List gives the player defences for their base. Once purchased the player can place what they have anywhere they please but should be careful because once a defensive item has been purchased it can’t be regained once it’s been activated or destroyed.

Radio Broadcast Centre[]

Once activated the Radio Broadcast allows the player to purchase one of five kill-streaks for use on the battlefield. All teams have access to the UAV Recon and Tactical Nuke as well as three faction specific kill-streaks. Once used the kill-streak can be re-purchased from the Radio Broadcast Station but the price will double every time it’s brought.
