All or Nothing is one of the modes featured in MW2. It has a long history with the franchise and makes its triumphant return to the series in MW2 alongside Season Two’s Reloaded update.

Players might recognize this particular mode from Modern Warfare 3 in 2011. For all of you who are newer, here’s how All or Nothing works.

All or Nothing sets players in a free-for-all lobby. You’ll be placed in a match with only your hands, a pistol, and throwing knives. Players will battle to the death in the ultimate FFA with the goal of reaching the kill limit.

You’ll have to reach 20 eliminations to win, but as you acquire more kills, you’ll receive perks that’ll assist you in climbing to the top. These perks can vary but include Scanvenger (unlocked at level one) which lets you collect ammo for fallen enemies.

Players will get to experience the terrifying feeling of being chased and pinned in close-quarters combat that tests the strongest of gamers. You’ll have to keep an eye on every corner and check behind you constantly to stand a chance.

These types of modes have always kept COD fresh, allowing players to divert from the classic Headquarters, SnD, and Deathmatch playlists.

There’s no doubt about it—All or Nothing really gets the blood pumping.
