New Game modes for Modern Warfare 3
Infinity Ward is adding three new game modes for Modern Warfare 3's multiplayer mode for this festive season of shooting.
Two of the modes have already landed with the third, Drop Zone, arriving over the weekend.
Infinity ward is also going to start adding private modes into public map rotation via the Community Playlists. Robert Bowling explained the move on the Official Call of Duty forums:
This is where we will add popular or unique private match modes to the public playlists, so you can start ranking up on them!
Bug fixes arimed to fix lag and host disadvantage issues is also Oscar Mike, says Bowling.
Blow is Bowling's description of the new modes
Drop Zone:
Get to the drop zone to earn points, the first team to 7500 points wins the round, but that's not all. As long as the Drop Zone is occupied, a care package will drop every 15 seconds, which ever team has the most members in the drop zone at that point "owns" the care package, but anyone can steal it. This is the only way to earn air support in this mode, all other pointstreaks are disabled. You'll earn 20 points per team member, for every second they're in the drop zone plus 20 XP individually for your time spent in the zone. Kills are worth 50 XP in this mode.
Custom Settings: Pointstreaks (besides those obtained through in-game care packages) are disabled.
Hardcore HQ Ricochet:
We'll be adding Hardcore Headquarters to the Hardcore Team Tactical playlist.
Hardcore Ricochet:
We'll be converting all Hardcore modes to Ricochet variant as a response to team killing. This means, any friendly fire, is applied to the attacker, rather than the victim. So choose your shots wisely and any attempt to team kill will simply kill yourself.
