Modern Warfare 2’ unveils own version of Shoothouse map

Infinity Ward has revealed more details of a new map that’s coming to Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 via a TikTok.

According to the clip, the new map is called Farm 18 and was inspired by Modern Warfare‘s Shoothouse map.

Geoff Smith, the director of multiplayer map design on Modern Warfare 2, said the idea came about when the team wanted to introduce “hidden training facilities” to an “industrial cement factory.”

“The idea was, what if we put a Shoothouse-type situation in the middle? If you want to play that crazy game, you can go to the centre and that action will find you. If you want to pull back and play a different way, it’s still available to you,” he explained.

Infinity Ward’s senior environment artist Ashly Thundercliffe then spoke about Farm 18’s foliage and finding the perfect balance. “If we go too dense, we have people hiding in the corners but if we don’t go dense enough, we don’t sell the narrative of the overgrowth.”

He goes on to say “all the departments (are) trying to find the perfect harmony to make sure we’ve got a beautiful, realistic looking space while making sure it’s still fun for the players to enjoy.”

Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 is set to launch October 28 on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC.
