__NOTOC__

[[File:Pvp.png|thumb|195px|Image from a trailer.]]'''Shadow Mode''' is an upcoming''' pvp''' mode which is said to be based of the '''Hidden''' from Counter-Strike Online. It is also likely to be a simple extension to the popular [[Ghost Mode]], just like it was done with [[Mutation Mode|Mutation]] in the past.

'''Advantages''': Up to four shadow players with 1000 HPs each, they are much active than normal ghost soldiers as they run 80% faster. They seems to be wielding kukri by default (could be either a new skin or just for promotion purpose in the trailer). Whatever they wield is said to be dealing 80% damages than usual melees.

'''Disadvantages''': They are vulnerable to most security devices the new map. From ceiling '''sensors''', '''lasers''' and even '''sprinklers''' probably, all these devices can give out the position of shadows by turning them into red light sources, making them easier targets for the soldiers.

'''Advantages''': As normal Global Risk soldiers, they can only rely on the many devices within the map(s). Camping next to them would force the shadows to reveal themselves in order to kill every last soldiers alive.

This mode is actually multiple modes in one, all using the same general mechanics, but differs with various main objectives, which are all select-able by the host of the room. Those various objectives / sub-modes includes:
  +
*'''Elimination:''' Basic eight vs eight action where both factions try to annihilate each others.
  +
*'''Infection:''' A fast-paced game type where every killed players will switch to the other team.
  +
*'''Destroy:''' Shadows have to plant a bomb on designated areas; similar to Ghost Mode.

'''Disadvantages''': They have the same amount of HPs as in any other modes. Which means it would be instant death with a direct encounter with a shadow if they don't miss. Their weapons also deal the same amount of damages but some of them could had been reduced to balance gameplay.

==Map==

Both teams have specific features to take into consideration, which highly affect the overall gameplay. It seems that the developers managed to fix most of what players would consider ''problems'' in ghost mode; highly encouraging the stealth side to rush (camping will be useless) and discouraging soldiers to spray too much with their weapons:
−
There are next to no word about this mode's new map(s). It is unclear whether there's only one or two simply by looking at the trailer. However, it is easy to speculate what the map(s) is/are about. The following is mainly speculation, both of these maps could be ending up being one map:
  
  +
−
*'''Old Castle''': A large abandoned castle with various security devices and huge laboratory.
  
  +
'''Soldier''' weapons now have a sound meter; when using automatic or fast firing semi-automatic weapons, the meter increase (decrease over time if not shooting). If it completely fills up, the weapon turns into a tracker which reveal their owner's position, forcing them to either abandon it or else the enemy team will be able to track them down.

'''Shadows''' (''[[Shadow Warriors|read more]]'') use enhanced stealth equipment which allow them to be invisible when running but slightly visible when stationary, which is just enough for soldiers to eliminate them on sight, so camping is discouraged.

  • CF Russia

Description

This mode is actually multiple modes in one, all using the same general mechanics, but differs with various main objectives, which are all select-able by the host of the room. Those various objectives / sub-modes includes:

  • Elimination: Basic eight vs eight action where both factions try to annihilate each others.
  • Infection: A fast-paced game type where every killed players will switch to the other team.
  • Destroy: Shadows have to plant a bomb on designated areas; similar to Ghost Mode.

Both teams have specific features to take into consideration, which highly affect the overall gameplay. It seems that the developers managed to fix most of what players would consider problems in ghost mode; highly encouraging the stealth side to rush (camping will be useless) and discouraging soldiers to spray too much with their weapons:

Soldier weapons now have a sound meter; when using automatic or fast firing semi-automatic weapons, the meter increase (decrease over time if not shooting). If it completely fills up, the weapon turns into a tracker which reveal their owner's position, forcing them to either abandon it or else the enemy team will be able to track them down.

Shadows (read more) use enhanced stealth equipment which allow them to be invisible when running but slightly visible when stationary, which is just enough for soldiers to eliminate them on sight, so camping is discouraged. This is basically the total opposite of how the original ghost stealth equipments works and is actually more efficient.

This mode has its own set of exclusive maps with various gimmick tied to it, but some Ghost Mode maps are also available:

Maps Description Maps Description
LobbyMap40 An abandoned castle with a museum and a lab. Chamber Large enclosed cooling chamber with two floors.
Ghost Base Small base of operation in a flooded canyon. Stronghold An old fortified building in a flooded canyon.
LobbyMap6 Classic Ghost map sets in an underground lab. Night Fall Large Ghost map sets on the rooftops of buildings.

  • Their origin and motives of the Shadows are still unknown, for these unknown soldiers fight both Black Lists and Global Risks. What the soldiers only know is that these soldiers are much dangerous than the Ghosts, for they cannot be seen easily and there's no trace of their paths.
