New Modern Warfare 3 Multiplayer Mode Revealed

With Modern Warfare 3′s new DLC coming later this month a new multiplayer mode called Face-Off has been revealed by Infinity Ward.
It’s a one on one or two on two deathmatch mode which also features four brand new maps made for the mode specifically.
The first two stages will be available to all Xbox 360 players from May 15th while the PC and Playstation gamers will receive it later on. Aground is set on a shipwreck off the coast of Scotland, while Erosion sees you running around Roman ruins in Italy while Mount Vesuvius erupts in the background.
Two more maps will also follow on the 22nd of May, which is also once again an Xbox 360 timed exclusive, as part of the main DLC Collection 2 release.

“Normally in itself one-on-one isn’t particularly creatively innovative, but what we’ve done is design the maps deliberately for this style of play,” Modern Warfare 3 executive producer Mark Rubin told Eurogamer.
“In normal map development you have large maps that have long sight lines, then when you make smaller maps you shorten the sight line – the engagement distance becomes smaller when the map becomes smaller.
“But with these Face-Off maps, because it’s not six-on-six, we’ve made the sight lines longer for the size of the map that it is. You actually end up engaging quicker and having a more exciting experience on the map.
“You still get a really new feel and experience out of the gameplay; not just the heavy, frantic experience you would get out of a normal multiplayer match. You get more tension build-up on these smaller maps.”
