It is available in two distinct game mode versions that otherwise share general gameplay and game engine: ''COD: Clicker'', a traditional incremental game inspired by Cookie Clicker; and ''COD: Survival Defense'', a single-player survival driven [[tower defense]] game that incorperates tower defense mechanics on top of incremental gameplay. | |

| Morland had originally only planned to release a single game with that being ''Clicker'', though after completing the early stages of development, Morland chose to expand upon the mode much further, leading to complications. During the time fixing these problems, Morland came up with the idea to create a second incremental game into the first one and create a "Game Platform", similarly to how ''Fortnite'' releases their installments. Morland had already planned the platform prior to development, but didn't expect him to take on the idea as soon as he did.

| === ''Clicker'' (2023) ===
| | Development on the game platform that was titled "''COD: HQ''" began in June 2014, after Cookie Clickers' popularity blew up in a matter of months. Mob Productions looked for development teams to make the game but were unsuccessful until [[Ethan Morland]] agreed to develop the project alone. Development officially began that December and continued all the way until its release in 2023. The development process was extremely slow compared to any other game with the focus on quality of each area of the game. |
| The main objective of ''Clicker'' is to click a button and progress through the game. Players will earn currency simply called "Money" by clicking the button. Using their money, they can purchase upgrades called "Click Upgrades". These upgrades allow players to progress faster and can earn a second currency "Gems", that can be used in other ''COD'' game modes. Unlike other incremental games, ''Clicker'' is a game you can generally fail at. Players have 5 minutes to earn enough to reach the second "Phase", and so on, every 5 minutes, players will need to reach a specific point in progression to continue. If the requirements aren't met, a player will fail the game and will need to restart.

| |
| ''Survival Defense'' is the second game mode and features tower defense mechanics alongside incremental mechanics. ''Survival Defense'' is accessable through the ''COD: HQ''.
| |
|
| |
|
| ''Survival Defense'' features simple mechanics with clicker mechanics. Players must click a button to earn "eco", which then can be used to buy upgrades that then give the player a second currency simply called "Money". Players can use money to purchase "Towers", which will protect your lives from enemy bloons (which are from the ''Bloons Tower Defense'' franchise).
| | On August 7, 2023, a teaser trailer was posted, confirming the title. Around this time, a phone number was set up by Activision that was shared via social media. This phone number, after participants agreed to a few terms, would begin sending anonymous messages to participants, such as "we need someone like you, with experience in Al Mazrah." This phone number was noted to give unusual responses when sent the word "zombies" or the names of multiplayer maps from ''Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2'' (ex. "Rust"). A day later, on August 8, Activision confirmed that ''Modern Warfare II'' operators, weapons and cosmetic items would carry over into ''Modern Warfare III'' and released a blog post detailing the specifics of the carry-over. |

| There are three classes of bloons in the game: regular, MOAB-class and Boss-class. The regular bloons consist of: red, blue, green, yellow, pink, black, white, lead, zebra, rainbow, purple, and ceramic bloons. MOAB-class bloons are in the shape of a blimp and consist of: the MOAB (Massive Ornary Air Blimp), the BFB (Brutal Flying Behemoth), the DDT (Dark Dirigible Titan), the ZOMG (Zeppelin Of Mighty Gargantuaness), and the BAD (Big Airship of Doom). Tougher variants of most bloon types contain a number of specified weaker ones. In later versions of the game, regular bloons possess sometimes special characteristics such as camo (which most towers cannot detect), regrowth (the ability for the bloons to slowly grow back to their original size), and fortified (which doubles the health of certain bloons), that resist certain tower types. With each level, the intensity of bloon waves proportionately increases.
| | On August 17, a full reveal took place inside of a ''Call of Duty: Warzone'' event, which concluded with a reveal trailer. Pre-orders were also opened, with players being able to play the campaign up to a week early, as well as gain access to new operator skins and an open beta for the multiplayer mode. |

| Towers are the main defensive utility in ''Survival Defense''. Each tower has its own unique purpose, power, and use, with some being powerful against specific bloons but unable to target others effectively. Every tower can be upgraded to increase power and other capabilities by spending the in-game currency, known simply as 'money', which is earned by popping bloons and at the end of each round.
| | ''Modern Warfare III'' was released on November 10, 2023, for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Windows, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S. Similar to ''Modern Warfare II'', the campaign was released in early access for all digital pre-orders, starting from November 2. In July 2024, ''Modern Warfare III'' was made available to Xbox Game Pass subscribers. |
| | |
| ''Survival Defense'' features 20 [[Maps (video games)|maps]] at launch, each featuring unique design that enemy Bloons pass through. ''Survival Defense'' features map difficulties, which determine how fast the game progresses. There are three difficulties: Easy, Medium, and Hard. Each Medium and Hard maps feature 5 maps each, while Easy features 10 maps.

| Development on the game platform that was titled "''COD: HQ''" began in June 2014, after Cookie Clickers' popularity blew up in a matter of months. Mob Productions looked for development teams to make the game but were unsuccessful until [[Ethan Morland]] agreed to develop the project alone.

| The games use the Unity engine. Morland wanted to bring a system that rewarded players with additional XP if they played more than 30 minutes at a time, but ultimately decided to abandon the idea due balancing issues. During the development time, Morland began outlining post-launch updates and what he wants to do and made a huge focus on expansion.
| |
| | |
| Upon completing the base game in 2017, Morland wanted to build a complete progression system that included twenty prestiges and a way to reach a point of no limits. The "Prestige Master" system was introduced which allowed players to level up unlimited times upon completing the base 20 prestiges. Unlike traditional progression systems used in incremental games, Morland designed it so he set the "requiredXP" at a base requirement that could be manually adjusted, and to make it easier to create additional prestiges and levels, and stated he had already created over 2,000 levels of Prestige Master and plans to have over 20,000 done by the end of that year [''2019'']. In 2020, development had been stopped due to the [[COVID-19 Pandemic]]. During the pandemic lockdowns, Morland began planning new games to include as he had already planned that after the first game, new games will be added and the application will turned into a "platform of games".

| Morland had originally only planned to release a single game with that being ''Clicker'', though after completing the early stages of development, Morland chose to expand upon the mode much further, leading to complications. During the time fixing these problems, Morland came up with the idea to create a second incremental game into the first one and create a "Game Platform", similarly to how ''Fortnite'' releases their installments. Morland had already planned the platform prior to development, but didn't expect him to take on the idea as soon as he did.
| |
| | |
| Regarding the "multiple" games Morland has in various stages of development, he confirmed the next game will be coming in 2024 and will be a "step up" from past games and will be a racing-incremental mixture. He also announced he plans to release a new game once a year.
| |
| | |
| ==== Potential sequels to games ====
| |
| In November 2023, there were multiple reports stating that Morland was planning on a second ''Survival Defense'' installment. Morland responded to the reports and stated he has plans to do that but a sequel isn't planned to be released until the first game has a feeling of being "a stage of complete", which is after a full roster of post-launch content. During March 2024, reports stated that once a sequel was released, the first version would be removed, Morland replied and stated that he has a plan to keep all games active unless otherwise stated.
