I've never played headquarters.........what's the flow of the game there? I mostly play TDM's and Domination (and ground wars), with the occasional Search and Destroy thrown in here and there. I don't mind free for all's now and again too. I mix it up quite a lot. I got stuck in the completing the challenges rather than trying to be a one man army type

I like it a lot as it's got more of an objective than most of the games.
It's like king of the hill, but team style. So there's a neutral 'HQ' that has to be captured by staying by in long enough, when it's captured you get +5 team score for about every 10 secs or so. First to 250 wins.
The thing that makes it more interesting is that when your team holds the HQ it becomes like a search and destroy match, so when you die, you don't respawn until the HQ has been captured by the enemy(At which point it reappears somewhere else neutral again) or your team has held the HQ for a minute.
This keeps it fresh and makes it very fast paced.
Individual points are added for capturing the HQ, Kills and Assists etc, so most people end up with high scores.

I have been doing awesome in HQ games recently! Usually end up 1 k/d or on a plus score, and as foo said, if you're on the stronger team youll be getting +5 every few seconds!
I'll be online at 8¦30 ..hopefully see you all on then.
Target Zero should be on too.

New playlists coming out on Xbox first then PS3 sometime later
Here they are: -
Hardcore Headquarters - In essance a good idea, but in pratice not so good. TK'ers will love this move because basically as we all know HQ is a throw a frag as questions later mode
Hardcore Ricochet Playlist - The anti TK mode, only one problem. Its all the Hardcore modes put together AGAIN! Now we protested endlessly for the Hardcore modes to be sperate for them to be stuck back together again. This mode does sound good if you like having 4 straight S&D's or 6 Straight HQ's. I will personally avoid this mode, I had no fun with last joint Hardcore playlist
Sudden Death Sabotage - This is basically turning sabotage in search and destroy. No respawns, so basically spawn and die. For the love of god why did you have to ruin Sabotage by dragging it down to the lowly level of S&D. Here's a hint IW, if its not broke don't fix it! This will elimate Teams camping with the bomb, well in pratice it will.
Second Chance Search and Destroy - What the hell is this one all about, the mode sucks to start with now you get to respawn to die again! Joy
Bare-Bones Team Deathmatch - This is by far the greatest addition to the Playlists, no juggernoobs, no maytardom. Just me, my noob tube and the harbringer of death!
Hardcore Free for All - Don't really play FFA, but i guess they wanted HC added to it. Good luck guys
Team Elimination (Last Man Standing) - Basically S&D without the bomb, it was a good game on R6V and did add some tatical flair to the game. I will try it out, to other people it might not be their cup of tea
Multi-Bomb Search and Destroy - Another S&D mode, joy! If we did not have enough of 2 of them we now have 4, 5 if you include Sudden Death Sabo. This will be sabotage but with no respawns each team has a bomb. Cannot see this on catching on personally.
Now those are the modes, lets hope they don't replace the current ones with these because if I love Sabotage and its replace by Sabotage Search and Destory I will not be a happy camper!
My view while some will be nice additions to the playlist others should be re-thought and quick! Like why the hell do we need more Search and Destory modes? Can't we have more Domination/HQ modes? S&D as everyone knows is not my most favourtie of modes, looks like I wont beable to avoid the sodding thing!
bare bones TDM is the one i am most interested in i think, no perks just you and a gun with no regenerations no UAV no Air strikes and no choppers
also hardcore FFa will get me back into FFa again.
What you guys think of the new scenarios, oh wait you have not played half the old ones yet
Had a lot of goes on Headquarters yesterday, and really don't know why I hadn't played it before???? It's good fun. Gonna try sabotage later...........I think it's good leaving things for a while. Adds a bit more longevity to the game imo. BBTDM sounds goo WWW, also Team Elimination.
I quite like search and destroy, so wouldn't mind more modes based around that.
