We reported on the Call of Duty: Ghosts chaos mode patch yesterday, which also includes several changes to the core multiplayer mode. We've got the full list of update notes through the link.

Now, over on the Call of Duty blog, Infinity Ward spooled off a handy guide to give you an idea of how chaos mode works. Essentially, the enemy count is ramped up to a crazy level and getting a certain combo will unlock new perks to help tip the scales a little.
