Robert Bowling announced today that they would be adding two new game modes to the Modern Warfare 3 (MW3) playlist and they would be tweaking hardcore game modes. The two new game modes being added to the game are Drop Zone and Hardcore HQ. Drop Zone was previously only available in private matches, point streaks are disabled and the only way to get air support is by "owning" the drop zone and getting the care package that will be dropped every 15 seconds. Hardcore HQ will be added to the Hardcore Team Tactical playlist, and finally team killing will be fixed in hardcore mode. In hardcore mode a player is able to shoot a team mate and he wouldn't suffer any consequences but now with the new playlist update, if you shoot a team mate you'll be the one getting hurt.

Friday, December 16th, we're updating the playlists on Modern Warfare 3 to introduce some new game modes as well as change up some existing ones.
The biggest change you'lll notice is the addition of Community Playlists. This is where we will add popular or unique private match modes to the public playlists, so you can start ranking up on them! The first playlist changes for Modern Warfare 3 multiplayer are listed below:
DROP ZONE
Get to the drop zone to earn points, the first team to 7500 points wins the round, but thats 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.

What do you guys think of the new update and what are your thoughts on the new game type Drop Zone, have you even played Drop Zone before? and what other game type would you like to see in the public playlists?
