Valve announced the game will use Steamworks which is mainly being used for automatic updates instead of the large patching system previous Call of Duty games used.
Steam Achievements and the previously reported use of dedicated servers were also confirmed by Valve to be in the game.

Based on a rumored leak from someone who "broke in" to the booth for the Xbox 360 version of the game meant for a tournament during the upcoming Call of Duty XP event, the multiplayer capacity has expanded to 32 players per match instead of the usual 18 with previous games. Although the 32 people per match could be just for the Ground War mode and not the other multiplayer modes.
A new Bomb Mode will be revealed for the first time during the event while also showing off 13 maps already done with the possibility of more being included before the official release.
