Search and Destroy is one of the multiplayer game modes available in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. Read on to learn more about this game mode, how to play it, and the best loadouts you can equip.
How to Play Search and Destroy
Search and Destroy Overview
| No. of Players | 12 Players (2 Teams of 6) |
|---|---|
| Win Condition | Win 6 Rounds to take the match. |
Search & Destroy is a game mode that alternates between Attacking and Defending. Attackers have to plant the bomb and destroy one of two bomb sites (A or B), or kill all 6 of the enemy team to secure a round win.
Defenders, on the other hand, will either have to kill the entire enemy team or defuse a planted bomb to secure a round win. If you defuse a bomb while there are still live enemies, your team still wins the round. The first team to win 6 Rounds will take the match.

In a game mode where there are no respawns, you'll need to eliminate your enemies quicker than them. The FSS Hurricane is an excellent weapon for this purpose as its fast fire rate and high mobility lets players move around fast and hit hard.

The M4 is another solid pick for a primary weapon given its accuracy in mid-close range fights as well as its fairly easy to control recoil. Activating Dead Silence when you have your Ultimate Perk makes for a slippery combo especially for players that like to lurk around maps and pick off wandering enemies.
Tips and Strategies for Search and Destroy
Avoid Playing For Yourself
Search and Destroy has no respawns so getting caught out and leaving your allies 1 teammate short can make things very difficult. Taking bombsites is easier when you work with your team as you can play off each other and get the necessary trades to win. Communicating and executing strategies as a team can make your chances of securing the round better.
Learn the Maps
Different maps require different strategies and this is important to remember when playing this game mode. Taking a bomb site on Santa Sena Border Crossing where the area is full of cars will be very different from taking sites in a more open map like Taraq. It's important to understand the layout of each map and approach them appropriately.
