## Key points

- Free-for-All matches now end at 25 kills.
- Ground Zero requires a 30-kill streak, making it unattainable in the mode.
- The changes aim to stop players boosting accounts by farming kills.

## Summary

Infinity Ward has changed Free-for-All in Modern Warfare 4, lowering the match-winning score and limiting party sizes. The update has angered players because it makes a required Calling Card challenge impossible to complete, blocking full completion of the game.

Matches now end at 25 kills, down from 30, while players can enter with only one friend. The Ground Zero Calling Card requires a tactical nuke, earned by getting 30 consecutive kills without dying. The changes aim to curb players boosting accounts by farming kills with friends, but Infinity Ward has not said whether it will alter the challenge or reverse the update.
