Below is a write up on what to expect, I believe it was done by FourZeroTwo. The Playlist changes apply to both the 360 and the PS3 versions, but the PS3 will have different patch changes
Hey Everyone –
I wanted to give you the heads up on a lot of cool changes coming to Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare multiplayer in the month of December. Before you ask, there is no ETA on these changes, most are included in the upcoming patch, with all the playlists stuff happening independently at some point in the near future.
All of these changes are thanks to YOUR direct feedback and suggestions through Xbox.com forums, emails, IMing me personally, and any other way you managed to get your feedback to us. So what can you expect?
