Modern Warfare 2 Playlist Updates

We’re updating the playlists to Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 for Xbox 360 & PS3. The update will bring the triumphant return of a dedicated Capture the Flag playlist, in addition to the new Hardcore Moshpit playlist.

Hardcore Moshpit allows you to play Hardcore Domination (YESSSS!), Hardcore Demolition, Hardcore Capture the Flag, and Hardcore Sabotage for the first time in a public playlist; as well as the Hardcore TDM, Hardcore HQ Pro, and Hardcore S&D staples that HC fans already know and love.

These two additions will take the place of the Resurgence playlists, since they are now integrated into all modes.

Note that this playlist update is currently only on Xbox 360 and PS3 but will be made for Steam users in a week or so (due to the Resurgence Package and corresponding playlists having only recently been added to PC).

Players should be seeing the playlist update hit their boxes in the next hour or so (depending on location, as it takes time to prop to everyone). Jump online, and enjoy!

The above video was posted online, and an onslaught of questions as a result was sent in to me.

To be clear: There is not, and will never be, additional fees required to subscribe and play Modern Warfare 2 multiplayer.

The video above seems to show a user on what appears to be the Xbox Live Gold Membership renewal page via the Marketplace in the guide, but while in-game in Modern Warfare 2 (which is in error). It does not however, prove a pay-to-play subscription model is in the works for Modern Warfare 2, because no such plan exists for this or any other Call of Duty (including the upcoming Black Ops).

That said, feel free to cease freaking out.

The Resurgence Package DLC for Modern Warfare 2 is available now for download on the PSN store for Playstation 3 in North America and Steam for PC worldwide. It’ll become available for Playstation EU tomorrow. Jump online! Check out the new maps, two new mosh-pit style playlists (Barebones Pro & Barebones Objective Pro) with Killstreak Rewards disabled, as well as soak up some Double XP in celebration of the launch!
