Wager matches are FOUR different types of game modes that will be available in the new Call of Duty Black Ops game. They are all FFA (Free For All) based. They are different from your standard rank progression in the other multiplayer modes. In the Wager matches, you can take the in-game “currency” that you have, and gamble it against the other players. What you’re gambling on is that you will come in one of the top 3 spots when the match is over.
What this means is, if at the end of the match your final score is in the top 3, you win the losing 3′s money. This is sure to be fun for us gambling types! Check out the video below.
The different types of Wager matches
1) One In The Chamber
Everybody spawns with only 1 Pistol, and only 1 Bullet, and 3 Lives. If you fire and miss, your only option is to Melee attack somebody and take their 1 bullet.
2) Sticks and Stones
Everybody spawns with a Crossbow, Ballistic Knife, and a Tomahawk Throwing Knife. The twist on this mode is, if you toss the Tomahawk and hit somebody, you will Bankrupt them. This mode will teach you to watch your back.
3) Gun Game
The idea for this came straight from the community. This is a game mode with a series of progressive weapons. What that means is, you start off with a pistol, and after every kill you progress to the next stronger weapon, pistol, akimbo pistols, submachine gun, assault rifle, machine gun, and so on. The first person who progresses through all the weapon levels will win the Gun Game match. But you also have to be careful, because if you get knifed, you will get sent back 1 tier.
4) Sharp Shooter
Everybody starts with the same randomly selected weapon. You will use that gun for a fixed amount of time, and then at a random point everybody will get switched out to a different weapon. With each kill you will earn a Perk, and eventually a Scoring Multiplier.
Every game mode has its own little twist that will be really fun to play. But be careful, as with any type of gambling, you could lose it all, or win it all! Its also really satisfying to just take somebodies money!
