Infinity Ward has update Modern Warfare 3 today to launch Community Playlists, among other changes.
The update also adds a new playlist called 'Drop Zone', and a few changes to the Hardcore playlists. Here are the details in IW's words:
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.

Clusterf**kic crap, if it wasn't designed by a ten year old I'd be shocked.

Voice recognition should be implemented. New community game mode in which points are award every time "fag" and "mom" are said leading to intense competition. Only available during times before mommy calls for tea.

Why is CVG posting about this? Playlist updates have been in other games for a while now.

HEY INFINITY WARD, HOW ABOUT DISABLING TACTICAL INSERTION IN FREE-FOR-ALL MODE? THE BOOSTING IS GETTING OUT OF CONTROL AGAIN LIKE MW2. F**KING RETARDS.
TREYARCH DID THE BEST THING IN BLACK OPS IN MY OPINION AND DISABLED IT FOR THAT MODE TO STOP IT.
THE AMOUNT OF PEOPLE I HAVE TO KEEP REPORTING FOR DOING IT IS UNREAL AND WOULD NOT BE NECESSARY IF IT WASN'T IN THE DAMN GAME TO BEGIN WITH.
IT IS THE WORSE PIECE OF EQUIPMENT INVENTED IN A VIDEO GAME AS IT JUST ENCOURAGES CHEATING FFS!!!
SORT IT OUT NOW!!!
Sorry about my rant, just annoyed about it that's all.

Yes this update is so great!
So far I have
Been disconnected from every game
Horrible Lag
More and More Boosters
FIX the game before adding s**tty stuff like this.

I totally agree - I would rather they took out the Tactical Insertion for ALL game modes!! (even though it can give easy kills especially with a claymore
) It is totally unnecessary anyway.
I quite like drop zone - it certainly makes a very frantic game but also a lot easier to get the 'heads up' emblem

What system you playing it on? I have it on the Box and it's been fine, yeah you get the odd boosters but not that much.
The Bossman on 21 Dec '11 said:
Well you certainly made it sound convincing, you must be an expert at making yourself look like a fool.
