This time, the developers disabled the outlines that showed players exactly where their teammates were in the world and what they were doing. “Reading your feedback has brought up some very insightful conversations here at the studio, so again, thank you.”Īfter this, on Monday, the final day of the beta, Infinity Ward made one more change to the UI. “Today we turned on a version of the minimap that doesn’t display enemy fire. We’ve been reading through your comments not only about the map itself, but also the compass and other UI elements on screen,” stated Williams on a follow up post on Reddit. “Let’s see how tomorrow goes and rest of the beta for weekend two.” Unlike in previous CoD games, the minimap that was added to the beta did not show where an enemy was when they fire a non-silenced weapon. “We’re still looking at different ways to work with the minimap, team outlines, and the compass,” tweeted Williams the day before the minimap launched. However, the studio still made a few tweaks to how the minimap worked. True to its word, by Saturday, the beta’s third day, Infinity Ward brought the minimap back. “Along with your feedback and the data we’re continuously collecting, we’ll be experimenting internally with a few different options and will keep you updated if we make any changes that you might see during the Beta.” We hear you loud and clear,” stated Williams.

On Thursday, a short time after the start of the beta, Infinity Ward Senior Communications Manager Ashton Williams actually made a post about the minimap on Reddit. Among the respondents, a whopping 76% stated that they wanted the minimap back.įor its part, Infinity War responded quite quickly to the backlash. To add to this, Call of Duty YouTuber Trevor “TmarTn” held a poll regarding the minimap on Twitter. Bad idea.” Meanwhile, in a less heated post, FaZe Clan’s Austin “Pamaj” Pamajewon summarized the state of the beta, saying that “No Minimap in Call Of Duty = Everyone on the map playing turtle.” He concluded that “We need Minimap. “What is this? 98% of my gameplay is the fucking minimap! I can’t even play pubs! CoD needs it bro.

COD 4 MODERN WARFARE BETA FEEDBACK PRO
In a video post (warning: NSFW language) on Twitter, pro Call of Duty player Matthew “Skrapz” Marshall ranted about the change. This in turn lead players approaching firefights in the beta in a slower, much more cautious manner. The most common complaint from players seems to be that removing the minimap takes away from their situational awareness. Suffice to say, most Call of Duty veterans were not happy with the change. This weekend, players got their chance to try out Modern Warfare sans minimap as part of the game’s open beta. ALSO: Overwatch League player accidentally rejects Jeff Kaplan’s handshake
