The "Resistance" downloadable content (DLC) for "Call of Duty: World War II" is coming out in just a few days. Before then, the game is having its free community event which is going to add a lot of new additions including two game modes for a limited time only.

Starting tomorrow, Jan. 23, 2018, players who log on to the game will be able to play either Prop Hunt or Demolition. The former is definitely the franchise's own version of the popular silly game "Garry's Mod - PropHunt." The mode is not about shooting enemies but rather more of a hide-and-seek kind of game.

Players on one team are disguised as props and hidden among the numerous props around the map. Other players have to spot them and shoot them to "tag" them. Of course, as props, they would not be able to shoot back. They would just have to move around as props to get away from the other team, and they can change into other props as well.

The Demolition mode, on the other hand, is one that many "Call of Duty" fans would already be familiar with. This is where one team has to keep blowing up bomb sites while the other team has to defuse them before they explode. It is similar to Search and Destroy mode, but the big difference is that players can respawn.

Aside from the game modes, there is also the addition of the new Resistance division. One of their main abilities is being able to mess with the enemies' maps. This is the addition to the XP boosts that will be happening, plus a lot of new contracts with daily and weekly orders.

While this is all for free, the "Resistance" DLC itself will need to be purchased. It will be coming out on Jan. 30 for the PlayStation 4. The PC version, on the other hand, does not have a release date, but it should come out soon.
