The minimap in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare has been a major topic of discussion since its release. Now, Infinity Ward has commented on this matter and destroyed the hopes of many players.
What was said: In a conversation with some YouTubers around an event for Season 1 of Modern Warfare, the developers also discussed the topic of the minimap.
There, Infinity Ward announced that they have no plans to change the minimap. It is meant to stay as it is, as this is how the developers envisioned the map for Modern Warfare.
Minimap causes discussion in Modern Warfare
Here is the status of the minimap: The small map has long caused problems. Already during the beta, there was much complaining about a missing minimap. Infinity Ward reacted quickly back then and added the current and modified version of the previously known map.
This made some players satisfied, but by the release, discussions arose once again. Many fans wish for the map back that they already know from other CoD parts, where both teammates and opponents can be seen.
What is criticized: Many players simply cannot understand Infinity Ward’s decision. For them, the minimap was not a weakness in other CoD parts and is now being replaced, although nobody asked for it.
Therefore, there is a desire to return to the old minimap, and Infinity Ward’s statement is causing a lot of excitement in the community.
This is how players react to the statement about the minimap
The latest statement also brings much misunderstanding. Many fans hoped that by complaining a lot, they could reach the developers and encourage them to rethink. However, this does not seem to have worked.
What players are saying: The statements of many players are devastating. Here, we summarize some voices from reddit :
- STierGamefreak: “The leads working on this game are idiots. There is no other way to put it. However, it doesn’t matter because they exploit the fact that this game carries the name Modern Warfare while the multiplayer has absolutely nothing to do with Call of Duty 4, Modern Warfare 2 or Modern Warfare 3, thanks to things like SBMM and no red dots on the minimap. This game would not have sold nearly as well if it weren’t for this name.”
- AchesIsDad: “It was the moment when they announced the decision to change something that isn’t broken, and to change things just for the sake of change, that’s a big no-go.”
- T-swiftsButthole: “It’s like they’re trying to ruin this game.”
However, there are also a few statements that are not as crushing. Some players say they would prefer better matchmaking and the map can wait. Others say that while it was initially unusual, they now get along well with the new minimap.
What do you think about the developers’ statement? Do you want the old minimap back?
