According to Robert Bowling, Infinity Ward's director ofcommunications, the team has an Xbox Live and PlayStation Networkpromotion in the pipeline for the weekend of September 13th. Exactdetails of the promotion haven't yet been revealed, but Bowling statedthat double-experience points will be on offer for those itching toraise their in-game rank quickly. Be aware, though, that Bowling has stated that the following list isfar from final, and there's currently no telling what we'll receive.

• Hardcore Headquarters
  Testing is completed for Hardcore HQ. This playlist has standard HQ rules w/ Hardcore Settings. Limited HUD, Increased Bullet Damage, and Friendly Fire Enabled.
  
• Hardcore Ricochet Playlist
  This is the No Teamkilling playlist. Any damage a teamkiller attempts to do to their team mates is reflected onto themselves only. Therefore, if they attempt to shoot an RPG into the ground at the beginning of the match; the only person who will die, is the Teamkiller. This eliminates the fear of being shot in the back by some asshole, but still encourages players to play tactically and not throw random nades, because if you accidentally hit a teammate, you’re only going to end up killing yourself and they’ll go unharmed. No Teamkilling, No Random Nades. This playlist will include the variant for Hardcore Teamdeathmatch, Hardcore Search and Destroy, and Hardcore HQ.
  
• Sudden Death Sabotage
  Sabotage with no respawns. Fast-paced and intense Sabotage. No more hiding with the bomb until time runs out for sudden death. Increased XP per kills to encourage Team Deathmatch mentality. Defend your objective, while attempting to secure the bomb and plant on theirs. Once you’re dead, you’re dead. No second chances.
  
• Second Chance Search and Destroy
  Search and Destroy with 1 respawn each. This completely revamps your Search and Destroy tactics. No longer will lucky frag or well-placed claymore end your chance of victory. Each player has 1 respawn, creating longer more thought-out attack / defend strategies. Eliminate enemy players, and cut off their reinforcements while you defuse.
  
• Bare-Bones Team Deathmatch
  Team Deathmatch with no perks and no air support.
  
• Hardcore Free for All
  Free For All with Hardcore Settings.
  
• Team Elimination (Last Man Standing)
  3 round Team Deathmatch w/ no respawns. Switch sides each round.
  
• Multi-Bomb Search and Destroy
  Search and Destroy but all attackers spawn with a bomb.
