Cyborg Evacuation & Death March
Cyborg Evacuation is a game mode featuring some remade multiplayer maps where the player has to find survivors and gather them at the evacuation point whilst being faced with multiple and varying difficulties of Cyborg Zombies. This gamemode is available to play on medium, veteran and heroic. Each one has an ep increasing amount of survivors to be found. Once the player have escorted all of the survivors the player will then have to face a massive boss mother ship along with rapid amounts of Hellhounds, Cyborg Zombies and boss Cyborgs with miniguns. Once done the player themselves will escape on a helicopter to end the game. The player may also find scattered at per-determined locations orange scavenger packs, which will grant the user a random perk, as well as a specific survivor's item which will grant the user a specific upgrade/killstreak. It should be noted while the perk the user will receive is random, there is a higher probability of receiving a 2nd or 3rd tier (green or blue perk) versus a 1st tier red perk. Killstreaks and ammo supplies are also placed around the maps similar to the ones seen in the Survival Mode. Ammo can be refilled for free from ammo crates. Some equipment can be purchased using dog tags earned by killing certain special breeds of cyborgs, reviving teammates and escorting survivors. The gamemode can be played up to 6 player co-op.
Currently the 4 maps available to play for Cyborg Evacuation, which are Night Quagmire, Farm, Ambush and Estate Tropical, more will be added through updates.
There is a mode similar to Cyborg Evacuation in Call of Duty Online, which is named "evac" in game files, just same as Cyborg Evacuation, however it is called Death March and appears alongside Cyborg Evacuation in actual game.
Currently only Arsenal is available in Death March, but a map known as Night Farm is to be released on March 24th.
