Drop Zone is a popular Call of Duty party mode where MW2 players must hold the Drop Zone to gain points for their team.
For every 15 seconds that a team holds the Drop Zone, a care package containing one of the many MW2 killstreaks will drop near the DZ.
In Drop Zone, for every team member inside the designated DZ, you will earn 20 points per second. Similarly to Hardpoint, the zone will switch to a new location every sixty seconds.
With six per team, you can earn a maximum of 120 points per second, and the first team to hit the 7500 points threshold will win the match.
Holding the Drop Zone is very important, with care packages dropping from the sky every 15 seconds. Collecting killstreaks will let you get more kills and hold the Drop Zone longer.
