Modern Warfare 4 Beta Struggles To Impress
Kotaku • • technology
Key Points:
- The beta test for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4, set for October release, revealed a more grounded approach by Infinity Ward, moving away from the series' recent over-the-top gameplay.
- Players reported issues with spawn points, quick kills, unimpressive maps, and weapon attachments that feel ineffective, resulting in short matches that favor campers.
- The game will be exclusive to current-gen consoles and the upcoming Switch 2, showcasing improved graphics and environmental details but sacrificing support for older platforms.
- Infinity Ward acknowledged player feedback, promising adjustments to spawning mechanics and time-to-kill, though the overall slower, less acrobatic gameplay style may remain unchanged.
- Only three of the twelve launch maps were available in the beta, leaving uncertainty about whether map design will improve to address player concerns.
