Here is to hoping that Faceoff is unranked.

these "faceoff" maps looks like IW's poor attempt at quelling the community unrest...If they were serious about how they want to give back to the community by giving out these "free" drops, they should have just released a full map pack. Not a half a**ed consolation prize...that will most likely end up being "booster paradise", as wikked stated earlier.

IW this is a cheap move

I can see them being great fun for private matches, but with the amount of rage quitting that goes on right now, there could be quite a lot of forfeited games.  If nothing else, it should keep all the boosters out of FFA, so that's something positive too

I love this idea but unfortunatley for me and many others that play HC only, I bet we dont get it.....

why why why.......anyone?

Ps this mode will catch a lot of boosters...as IW dont necessarily need reports to catch people...they can keep an eye on suspicious inflation of kills on gamers accounts....

Honestly it kind of feels like the whole point of this playlist IS to keep boosters out of the other, more popular game types. I'm sure they would never admit it, if it were the case. If they didn't allow tac inserts, that would be a good step towards eliminating boosting. But it would still happen...

Then in one month, BAN everyone who have played more than 10 matches.

Seriously though, they should use online licences.

The reason for that is that they can ban the license instead of resetting, to fund a large team of anti-cheaters because the boosters buy a new licence.

Then on the second offence, have their gamertag banned and force them to pay more by changing their gamertag, giving funds to xbox live.

so judging by this one can only assume 3 things:

1) they are pretty much just putting Cage match back in as well as a different version of it.

2) its going to invite all the boosters in and corral them all into 2 modes so they stop doing it in FFA and KC and whatever other match they do it in.

3) this might be a way for IW to see who the actual boosters are. that way they can have an easier time banning them than reveiving reports from normal modes.
