Infinity Ward community manager Robert Bowling has announced some new game modes and changes for Modern Warfare 3 public playlists, which should be live now.

A big addition is Community Playlists. which will add popular or unique private match modes to the public playlists, and therefore adding ranking to the modes.

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. 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

Hardcore Headquarters is being added to the Hardcore Team Tactical playlist.

Hardcore Ricochet

All Hardcore modes are being converted 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.
