Since the release ofCall of Duty: Modern Warfareback in October, Infinity Ward has looked to keep its new first-person shooter fresh with frequent playlist updates and the introduction of new game modes. Thus, it is not unexpected that the developer has decided to close out 2019 with more of these types of changes, issuing an update on December 31 that both brought back a fan-favorite playlist and added a game mode never before seen inCall of Duty: Modern Warfare.
Specifically, Shoot House 24/7 has once again returned, replacing theShoot the Ship playlistthat was added toCoD: MWjust last week. While Shoot House 24/7 has proven to be a very popular playlist among fans, and many will certainly be happy to have it back, some players are expressing disappointment with the quick removal of Shoot the Ship. For the uninitiated, the Shoot the Ship playlist rotates exclusively between the Shoot House and Shipment maps, and indeed this mix is something that certain players seem unhappy to be losing.

With respect to the new game mode that was added in yesterday’sCall of Duty: Modern Warfareupdate, fans can now test their skills in Grind, a multiplayer mode that first appeared inCall of Duty: Ghostsand was also seen inCall of Duty: Infinite Warfare. In Grind, players drop dog tags when they are eliminated, and these tags must be collected and delivered to a rotating location to score points. For many players, this mode will feel very much likeKill Confirmed, but with a slight twist.
In order to make room for Grind,Call of Duty: Modern Warfare’s Drop Zone modehas been removed after only a week of availability. This mode tasks players will taking control of a continually moving location, and while, in general, fans do not seem especially upset to see Drop Zone make an exit, some players will certainly wish to have had more time with the mode.
Finally, yesterday’s update sawCoD: MW’s Snowfight moderemoved, which is not unexpected with the Christmas holiday now passed. Nothing has been added to fill the hole left by Snowfight’s removal, but between the return of Shoot House 24/7 and the introduction of Grind, hopefully fans will be able to keep themselves occupied until Infinity Ward issues yet another content update in the very near future.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfareis available now on PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
