Hey GHANDI
A few questions about the "Face Off" maps.
The maps look brilliant but are they not compatible for 4 vs 4 (Team Tac) or 6 vs 6 gametypes?
They don't look as small as Dome so why restrict it 1 vs 1 & 2 vs 2 gametypes?
I beg you as someone who enjoys playing with friends, please consider 6 vs 6 on the new maps.
Also, hasn't the game run out of playlist space?
When you add the "Face Off" playlist, won't it force you to remove at least 2 game modes.
Lastly, I hope you guys have prepared the security team for boosters in Face Off.
This game mode is "booster haven" mate. (unless you're trying to give boosters their own playlist)

If I recall some derp said that all the maps are for Faceoff only. That's not true either.
Im sorry but that actually is true. The maps are only available for Face Off which is complete crap. I don't neccessarily have a problem with the 1v1's or 2v2's, I just want the maps in ALL game modes. I can guarantee you the maps will all be at least as big as Rust or Nuketown were. No, they have clearly stated with this new action that fast paced, close quarters gameplay is no longer valid in COD.
The Face Off maps are designed for Face Off mode only. To answer people!s questions you will be able to add extra players in Private Match. However, through play testing it was we found it too easy to spawn lock players when playing 4v4 on these small maps.
We will continue to review this and there is nothing technically stopping us adding those maps that can support 8 players to other suitable playlists in the future.
Regarding HC Face Off we will happily add these modes to the HC playlist but this will mean replacing the two least popular HC modes. I suggest HC fans play the new game modes first and decide how they wish to proceed. I'll be listening.
Personally, having played the mode it feels different in tone to anything else in the game. Clearly you can all judge for yourselves whether you agree or disagree with my opinion when the mode goes live.
You will all receive 2 maps and the game mode for free. To answer directly a question posed earlier our motivation for distributing two maps free to all was because we think that the FaceOff games are fun and that we wanted to get as many people playing them as possible. Speaking for IW we're just as happy if you have a good time in the free maps as we are if you decide to purchase additional content.
I suggest everyone tries the mode before diving into too much negativity, at least then you'll be informed griping.
I've updated the front sticky with details of the recently released updates for PS3 and PC. More are queued up and coming soon.
Cheers,
