Modern Warfare 2 Devs Address Backlash and Tease Classic Map Return

Infinity Ward's multiplayer design director, Geoff Smith, has responded to criticism of the Santa Sena border crossing map in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, stating that the map was designed to be fun rather than perfectly balanced. The map has been criticised for its narrow layout and bumper-to-bumper traffic, with all cars being destructible. Smith explained that the map was inspired by the film Sicario and that Infinity Ward tries to balance experiential maps with more competitive ones.
