A major stir during the beta of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare is the absence of the minimap. After much criticism, Infinity Ward is now responding and bringing a modified version of the map.
This is the criticism: This weekend, some PS4 players can test the latest shooter from Call of Duty in a beta. There is a lot of positive feedback about it, but one topic is heating up the discussion.
There is no minimap, even though this feature has been implemented in various CoD titles for years. It was surprisingly removed in Modern Warfare.
Minimap arrives in the Modern Warfare beta
When will the minimap come? Today, on September 14, a patch is coming that will bring the minimap into the beta.
This is what the map is supposed to show: The minimap works differently than previous maps. It will not display enemy fire. It is merely a help for you when searching for your teammates.
The map therefore differs significantly from the previous minimaps in the CoD games. It will be a different experience, even though you can still use a map.
How is this proposal received? After a lot of criticism regarding the map at the beginning of the beta, the situation seems to have calmed down a bit. Players are showing themselves to be conciliatory with this proposal.
It is said on Twitter: “Minimap without enemy fire sounds like a fair deal to me, as you can recognize the position of your team.”
Another user goes even further and expresses great praise to the team: “You guys are currently surpassing yourselves. You listen to feedback and are willing to change your vision for the benefit of the community. I really appreciate that!”
What else is happening with the patch? The minimap is not the only thing that is new in the beta. For example, the level cap will also be raised to 20. You can now continue leveling up diligently.
How can I participate in the beta? Currently, only PS4 players can participate in the beta. Next weekend, however, PC and Xbox One users will also be able to start.
