Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 Adds New Mode, Anti-Team Killing Tweaks

Posted on Friday, December 16 @ 10:09:16 Eastern by

Never mind the fact that you've decided to go outside and ride bikes or play tag instead—Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 will still attempt to lure you back in doors with a new multiplayer mode and a handful of tweaks.

The biggest addition is the brand new Drop Zone game mode where teams fight to control a... wait for it... drop zone in which a care package will drop every 15 seconds. That seems like an awful lot of care packages. Teams earn 20 points per team member in the drop zone every second. Kills are worth 50 XP in this mode. The catch is that pointstreaks are disabled unless you pick up many of the care packages.

Infinity Ward, Sledgehammer Games, and Activision have also tweaked Hardcore game modes so that any damage you do to your teammates, which would normally result in killing them, will now richochet onto yourself, so choose your shots wisely.

Or... you know... resist the urge and go play in the snow.

    Friendly fire is one of the best features in FPS, of course not in every mode but in some of them definitely. Also, teamkilling is one noble sport, in which you keep your team from dominating the other team by balancing the number of players alive at any one time. Any good teamkiller must have a strong sense of justice and be determined in keeping the match fun for both sides.

    Thus, by putting obstacles for practitioners of this fundamental job, you are harming the game experience for millions of users. Shame on you Activision, shame on you.

    Team killing is a necessity sometimes, but it's just so abused. When you kill your own teammate for stealing that care package you just dropped, blocking an exit, shooting your claymore, or camping like a wuss and shooting you when you walked around the corner, ending your killstreak, they can always just kill you back like a whiny little prick.

    What they really need is an aptitude filter. You know, actual decent matchmaking that puts you with others of similar skill.
