Yesterday @fourzerotwo used twitter to announce the (now live) update in the multiplayer playlist.
"#MW2 Playlist update coming today. Introducing Hardcore Ricochet: HQ Pro & adding more maps to the rotation of the Free-for-All playlist"
Please note that the maps added to the rotation in free-for-all are not new maps, they've just made it so more of the current maps show up in the rotation. This update is for all platforms.
Hardcore Headquarters was hugely popular in Call of Duty 4, thus it was reasonable that many hardcore fans were disappointed to see that it was not included in Modern Warfare 2. However, many people are now angry that it is a Hardcore Ricochet playlist rather than normal hardcore. Ricochet means that all friendly fire will return to the shooter, this was incorporated to help combat team killing.
For those that have yet to check out the revised "Pro" version of HQ, the only difference is that the HQ will come online for a short period of time before being able to be captured. This gives both teams a chance to make it to the HQ and has been a welcome addition to most of us.
On a sidenote, downloadable content is expected to launch some time of Spring 2010. We know upcoming map packs are exclusive to the Xbox 360 for a » limited time, who knows - maybe they'll throw something else in for the PS3 and PC. As it is still unsure is what will be released, how much it will cost and to what platforms it will be released; we're hoping for the best.
"@NHTMARE DLC is planned fir the wonderfully vague timeframe of Spring. I'll let you know when we know when it'll be done."
