In addition to those modes, there is also Ground War. Ground War is a large-scale 32 vs 32 battle between teams. With Season 3, there will be the addition of GW Infected, bringing the beloved mode to the big battle.

That will give Ground War three modes, including the base, Invasion, and Infected.
