Modern Warfare 3 players are in for a few treats today. First off, Activision's blockbuster has been updated with multiplayer playlist tweaks and an entirely new mode. Dubbed "Drop Zone," the latter tasks players with capturing and holding a ... drop zone. The team with the most players in the zone will receive a care package every fifteen seconds. The twist: Earning care packages is the only way to achieve pointstreaks. Drop Zone marks the first entry in the new Community Playlists section, which will play host to "popular or unique private match modes" created by users themselves.
The second playlist change is the addition of Hardcore Headquarters Ricochet to the Hardcore playlist. Furthermore, all Hardcore modes will now feature ricochet, meaning that all friendly fire will be reflected back to the attacker. In other words: Shooting a teammate is basically shooting yourself.
Finally, Infinity Ward community guru Robert Bowling has tweeted that a title update will be available today to address "Host Disadvantage" / "Lag Compensation."

Well, lag isn't any better. Just fired 4 bullets from a MK14 while aiming into someone at close range, not even a hit marker.
To make matters worse, the cunt quickscoped me

I've had such a shitty time on this game all week. I'm sure the patch has made the lag comp. worse. I'm quitting more matches than I'm playing.

Edit: As for the Hardcore mode when you shoot your own player and it rebounds, that works and it's a fantastic idea.

I can't believe they didn't have that in from the start, seems such an obvious thing for hardcore, especially as it's not a new idea.

Is that all the time now then or just at the start of a round like normal?

I used to like getting to the point where one more team kill meant they'd be kicked.

You'll be able to just sit on their care package markers any time now surely? They'll die and you'll be able to just steal it. I've got a vid of me demonstrating this at the start of a round on BO

You did well not to get squashed! I liked how you had him scoped well before killing him, how did he not see that coming?!

This is a bit different, like what I meant above.
I didn't shoot anybody. Because it's the start of the round, you can't kill your team mates otherwise it rebounds and kills you (like MW3 now). So, if I sit on their marker, that's them killing me when it drops, so it just bumps me to the side and kills him, leaving me to collect his prize. In that video, the other guy was his buddy who tried to shoot me to stop me and of course he got rebound killed too
