Probably in some of the most exciting news of the night, it was let know that everyone will be able to use both a "Primary Weapon" and a "Secondary Weapon"

Maps

Name: "Afghan"
Description: Afghan is a rocky desert map, the centerpiece of which is the ruins of a downed jumbo jet. The open central area, which contains the aeronautic set piece, is great for snipers as it’s overlooked by several high cliffs and bunkers. At the northern and southern ends, the passages become more confined in caves and on ledges, and the fighting gets more intense.

Name: "Favela"
Description: The term “favela” means shanty town, which, you guessed it, is what this is. The best way to conceptually divide this map is into two sections – the high ground and the low. The high ground is on the rooftops, which provide little cover but offer faster travel and a broad view of the larger streets and objective sites. The low ground is great for making escapes, as you can disappear around corners faster than your pursuer can rattle off bullets, though you must always be weary of the marksmen who lurk above.

Name: "High Rise"
Description: This map’s uncharacteristic modern urban setting is very welcome. The map is comprised of the roof of an unfinished skyscraper (complete with helipad), two interior office spaces at the northern and southern ends, and a passageway which connects the two sides.

Game Mode
Name: Demolition
Type: 2 Bomb locations, attack and defend style. Has respawns like TD but plays like Search and Destroy. The catch with this game type is BOTH sites (A and B) must be destroyed for your team to win. It also appears as if every person on the team carries a "bomb".

Again great post, I've been stoked about getting my hands on this game but, after seeing the presentation video I can't wait. There are so many options, perks, primary and secondary weapons, kill streaks, host migration and camo's. It looks like they really went all out on this. I'm goona start working out, and exercising a little hard over the next month and stock my pantry because when this game drops I wont be leaving the house for at least the first week.

I will not tiptoe through life only to arrive safely at death's door.
