Content for beta week 2

MW2 developer Infinity Ward has now provided a preview of the content for the next beta weekend. This includes two new maps (Sariff Bay and Sa’id), new modes and some changes, as Infinity Ward writes on its website. Ground War returns for 32v32 battles with new vehicles and dynamic combat. In addition, the new team deathmatch mode “Invasion” will be introduced. Two teams of 20 players compete against 20 AI units. The features of Invasion should include large maps as well as ground and air vehicles. Additionally, Third Person Moshpit returns for the second beta weekend.
