However, rather than a cap of 18 players, Infinity Ward has been messing around with huge 100+ player matches. Who\u2019d have thought Call of Duty would eclipse Battlefield for the scale of its battles. Infinity Ward sounds as if they\u2019re still messing around with suitable player counts but the engine absolute does work with triple figures. <em>\u201cThese battle maps get much bigger\u201d<\/em> explained Geoff Smith, multiplayer design director.<em> \u201cAnd a higher player count. We play 64 all the time and over a hundred. We\u2019re just trying to find that balance of what is the sweet spot.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>This scale is going to bleed into the new maps and modes, many of which will be larger in scope and complexity than we\u2019ve seen from the franchise before. If all that sounds a bit hectic for you then COD: MW Ground War will also feature playlists for 12, 20, 40, and 64-player game types.<\/p>\n<p>Those who want to slow things down further will find even further modes catering to small-scale warfare and differing playstyles. There\u2019ll be tight 2v2 elimination modes, 5v5 Search &amp; Destroy, Team Deathmatch, Domination, and a newbie in the form of Cyber Attack.<\/p>\n<p>Call of Duty: Modern Warfare will be launching with full cross-platform multiplayer across PC, PS4, and Xbox One. This sounds like a logistical and balancing nightmare, particularly in a game as fast-paced as COD. PC players will have a huge aim speed and accuracy advantage, you\u2019d think, although IW is implementing some fairly generous aim assist on consoles to try and even the scales.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>If you don\u2019t want to mess around with cross-platform play then you can just stick to your platform of course, although PC players will definitely stand to benefit from the grouped communities in terms of long-term player traction.<\/p>\n<p>In terms of gameplay, COD: Modern Warfare is stripping things down further from what\u2019s come before. Characters won\u2019t have super abilities, there\u2019ll be no jet packs and wall running. This is tight, weapons-focused combat at a breakneck pace. There\u2019ll be a ton of weapons to mess around with, each of which has a unique and predictable recoil pattern. They can also be massively customised. Some weapons have over 40 unique attachments which can be switched in and out at the Gunsmith, tailoring it to your playstyle.<\/p>\n<p>The mini-map\u2019s out. Enemies won\u2019t be laid out as red blips waiting to be executed. Instead, players are given a compass bar which points you in the direction of the action but never explicitly states where they are. This brings more of the action from the map to the environment itself and should add those attempting some more tactical play.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">\n<p>Should you want to get a hands-on test with Call of Duty: Modern Warfare ahead of its October launch, Infinity Ward will be running beta tests throughout September. The timing is a little complicated as it depends on which platform you\u2019re playing on and whether you pre-order the game or not, but it\u2019ll be running on these dates:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Call of Duty: Modern Warfare multiplayer beta test<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>PlayStation 4 Beta<\/strong><\/p>\n<p> September 12 -13 (Early Access, PlayStation 4) September 14 \u2013 16 (Open Beta, PlayStation 4) <\/p>\n<p><strong>Crossplay beta test<\/strong><\/p>\n<p> September 19 \u2013 20 (Early Access, PC and Xbox One; Open Beta, PlayStation 4) September 21 \u2013 23 (Open Beta, PlayStation 4, PC, Xbox One) <\/p>\n<p>Call of Duty: Modern Warfare comes to PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One on October 25th.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Can I Run It?
