Ground War remains after the playlist update of MW2
In battles 32 vs 32 players, you don’t just compete on foot. Instead, you’ll resort to tanks, helicopters and buggies to get you from one flag point on the map to the next. The goal is to capture and hold as many flags as possible.
New “Invasion” mode rushes players into PvPve battles
In rounds of 20 vs 20, each team fights to take out the entire enemy team. The maps are very large and are further filled by AI soldiers (bots). This game mode gives you unbridled action, but without any announcements from moderators.
If it happens that one team dominantly pushes the other into the spawn, the AI starts actively hunting players aggressively.

All game modes in Modern Warfare 2 explained – You may not know this
Fast modes: Game modes like Team Deathmatch and Free for All are simply based on generating kills — as a team and against everyone. In Kill Confirmed, your kills only earn points for the team if you collect the dog tags of your opponents after the kill.
Object-based modes: Domination, Headquarters and Hardpoint are based on capturing an area or a moving target.
Turn-based modes: Knockout, Prisoner Rescue, and Search & Destroy are played in teams of 6 vs. 6. There is no respawn. So if you flip, you have to wait until the start of the next round.
