The Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2vs2 Alpha has recently begun. But many players are already annoyed by a certain graphics feature. Are you too?
What is the Modern Warfare Alpha about? Yesterday, on August 23rd, the open alpha test for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare started – but only on PS4.
Until August 25th, all interested parties (over 18 years old) have the chance to take to 5 maps in frantic 2vs2 battles of the Gunfight mode and get their first impression of the Modern Warfare multiplayer.

Many players and streamers have been quite positive about the alpha so far, but there is also criticism. The overall feedback is therefore quite divided. You can read more about it here: How popular Twitch streamers are reacting to the Alpha of CoD: Modern Warfare
However, many players are currently annoyed by a specific feature.
This feature is about: It specifically concerns a visual effect in the game. When severely injured in the Multiplayer of Modern Warfare 2019, your screen not only gets some blood splatters but also turns completely black and white.
This is new and does not sit well with many players and is therefore being intensely discussed. One of the current top threads regarding the alpha of Modern Warfare with over 1,100 upvotes criticizes this feature and calls for a return to the “old” model.
What is the problem with this feature? What many find annoying about this effect: The frequent color change is already very irritating for the eyes. Moreover, on most maps and in many situations, it is much harder to recognize opponents due to the black-and-white effect. This would not really contribute to realism, while at the same time making comebacks after severe injuries unnecessarily difficult.
In earlier series installments, there were also visual limitations in comparable situations (field of vision becomes narrower, red edges, etc.), but the colors remained intact, allowing for better reactions to enemy movements than with the new black-and-white effect.
Some players would already be satisfied if the color contrast were not so intense. A bit less color intensity instead of a complete black-and-white view would be enough for many players.
Others do not understand the fuss at all and can live well with the black-and-white screen as soon as they get used to it. Again, others say it is purely a matter of taste and one cannot please everyone anyway.
Could this graphic detail change soon? This criticism of the black-and-white effect has not gone unnoticed by the developers at Infinity Ward. In a Reddit thread where players are supposed to submit feedback on the Modern Warfare Alpha, they have already commented on it.
They have already seen the comments about it. While they cannot make any promises at the moment, it is something they can take a look at.
Completely ruled out are changes regarding this effect.
What do you think of the black-and-white screen in case of injuries? Doesn’t it bother you? Do you think it is good? Or is it annoying to you? Let us know in the comments. By the way, if you missed the alpha:
