Key Points:
- Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 received widespread criticism for its poor campaign, which featured disconnected and outlandish story elements, leading Activision to apologize and promise improvements.
- To regain player trust, Activision and Xbox are including a single-player campaign mission called "Trenched" in the upcoming Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 beta, a first for the franchise.
- The Modern Warfare 4 beta, starting August 21 for pre-orders and August 28 for all players, will also feature the new Warzone: Resurgence map, Zodiac, along with multiple maps, game modes, and weapons.
- The full game is set to launch on October 23 for PS5, Xbox Series X/S, Switch 2, and PC, with Switch 2 players gaining access to the beta only during the open period.
- These extensive beta offerings indicate Activision’s efforts to demonstrate a significant improvement over the previous installment and reassure fans ahead of launch.
