i38 MW2 Details Announced

After it became known that Modern Warfare 2 was going to be hosted at the i-series, a lot of players and enthusiasts frowned their eyebrows on how this would translate to competitive gaming.
Multiplay has now released the details by which the MW2 tournament will be ran.

The biggest change is the gametype, which is now Capture The Flag instead of the Search & Destroy mode featured in all previous Call of Duty games.

The mappool consists of the following 6 maps:

• Favella
  
• Quarry
  
• Karachi
  
• Highrise
  
• Sub base
  
• Terminal

MW2 comes with 5 stock classes, which every player starts out with. Each of these classes have their own stock weapons, which are the only allowed guns in the tournament.

• Grenadier
  
• First Recon
  
• Overwatch
  
• Scout Sniper
  
• Riot Control (1 per team only)

The assault class comes with a grenade launcher, which is in fact allowed to be used in the matches.
Riot control can use the riot shield, and because of this major tactical advantage, only one is allowed per team.
The sniper comes with a heart sensor, which allows easy tracking of enemy targets.

Activision, who is present at the event, will make Multiplay enforce an 18+ only rule. That will surely mean a lot of lineup changes just for this LAN.
