This free access will run until 19th December, and offers three maps and four modes to play through. The maps in question are Shipment (a new arrival to the game - more on that in a second), Farm 18 (which is a Shoothouse inspired number) and El Asilo. Meanwhile, the four modes are Team Deathmatch, Hardpoint, Domination, and Kill Confirmed. These can be played in first and third-person. As for Shipment’s arrival in the game, veteran players will notice that a few changes have been made to this classic map, the most notable being that it is no longer set on land. Rather, it is now on a cargo ship “navigating treacherous international waters”. The developer promises this version of the map will give players a “more grounded combat experience”, as it now features “fewer mantling and vantage points”. You can see a little preview of Shipment in the header image above. Farm 18 and El Asilo are both medium-sized maps “with arenas that are each focused around a large central building”. In Farm 18, this is a training facility, while in El Asilo it is an asylum. Please note, and per the Modern Warfare 2 development team, an additional download is required for you to play.
