New maps are coming as well, including Dam, Foundation and Harbor, and new game modes, with Dodgeball, Versus Co-op and Escalation to go with the more traditional Death Match, King of the Hill, Guardian, War Zone and Execution.

All the action is set to a new track from DJ Shadow called Nobody Speak, featuring Killer Mike and El-P from Run the Jewels. Check it out.
