While we already know about EA and Danger Close’s intentions to bring a new (and free) multiplayer gameplay mode and two new maps to the pair’s Medal of Honor next month, an announcement has just been made regarding two more maps and another multiplayer mode that will become available for the military-themed first-person shooter.

Unlike the previously revealed ‘Clean Sweep’ mode, however, this new mode will not be free.

Entitled ‘Hot Zone,’ this new Medal of Honor multiplayer mode features ‘king of the hill’ gameplay where two teams will fight over a set location on the map. The team that holds that designated position for the longest period of time during a match will be deemed the winner.

Of course, in order to claim that position you’re going to need to fight for it, and once you’ve got it, you’ll have to defend it with your life!

Hot Zone will be playable across two new maps, namely Hindukush Pass and Korengal Outpost, as well as redesigned versions of Shahikot Valley and Helmand Valley.

Hot Zone will be available on November 2nd via Xbox LIVE Marketplace for 800 MS points, on PlayStation Network for £7.99, and on PC exclusively via the EA Store (i.e. not Steam) for £7.99.
