Day 3 of the PlayStation 4 Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Beta Open Beta is wrapping up, and Infinity Ward has shared on Reddit a recap of the day, including what they’re looking into after Day 3 and more.

The studio is continuing to look at the feedback from the fans on the spawn issues, working to fix a lot of the bugs including the Parties having to be disbanded, Cruise Missile issues, and has shared a look at what’s coming during Day 4 of the Modern Warfare Beta on PS4.

The studio also shared some first information on what to expect in Day 4 of the Beta, including the Realism mode and Gunfight.

FROM INFINITY WARD:

We’re on day three of the beta and today, we opened the beta up to everyone on PlayStation 4. It’s been an exciting day for all of us as we’ve watched you share clips of your gameplay, telling us what loadout you’ve been rockin’, and sharing your thoughts about what you’ve played so far and what you hope to see at launch. This community is incredible and we’re thankful that not only are you taking the time to play, but you’re also telling us what you think. We hear and see all of your comments, so please don’t hesitate to reach out to us on here or on Twitter. We can’t thank you all enough! 

You all have shared some pretty amazing and insightful feedback so far. This definitely isn’t all of your feedback, but let’s take a look at some of the issues we’re looking into…

• Connecting to Online Services: Some players are unable to connect to online services. If you’re still having this issue, please feel free to PM me your PSNID so we can further investigate. 
• Stuttering: On occasion, a player might experience a “pull” or stutter near doors. This is being looked into. 
• Players unable to move in certain locations:We’ve seen a few cases where players are getting stuck in their position and are unable to move around the map. We’re currently investigating this. 
• Weapon Attachments: In some cases, weapon attachments are not unlocking after reaching the required level. This is being investigated. 
• Doors: We’ve read your comments about doors; how they open, how loud they can be, and how they interact with you if they’re already open. We’ll be monitoring how you interact with them throughout the weekend and during weekend two. 
• Spawning and Visuals: Spawning is currently inconsistent on some maps, so thank you for sharing your videos with us and sharing your feedback. We’ll continue to monitor the spawn system and we’ll update you if we deploy any changes. We will also be looking into lighting and exposure on various areas of the map, such as how you view dark rooms from the outside of a building and vice versa, for example.
• Semtex Grenade: When stuck to a door, the Semtex grenade will not explode and the grenade icon will remain on screen. This will be fixed for weekend two of the Beta.
• Smoke effect on weapons: The smoke effect after firing a weapon is currently not displaying in-game. This will be fixed by launch.
• Players “stuck” on the map: On random places across a map, a player might get ‘stuck’ in their current position and is unable to move. We’re taking a look at these and should have some of these locations fixed for weekend two. 
• Minimap: 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. Reading your feedback has brought up some very insightful conversations here at the studio, so again, thank you. Tomorrow, we’ll be turning off outlines that exist on your teammates within the world. We’d love to hear your thoughts on this combination, so please keep your suggestions and feedback rolling in throughout the weekend.

Infinity Ward has updated the message of the day in the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare PS4 Open Beta to reveal when fans can expect the new Ground War mode in the Beta.

The in-game message of the day has stated that the new 32v32 Ground War mode will be added to the beta on Saturday, September 21. The mode will be played on a map called Karst River Quarry, which we actually got a sneak peek of early through the Beta menus.

The in-game message reads:

GROUND WAR COMING SOON

“Thank you for playing the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Beta! We hope you’re enjoying everything we’ve shown you so far, but we aren’t done yet! On Saturday, September 21, during weekend two of the Beta, we’ll be taking your multiplayer experience to the next level. Taking place on a new map, Karst River Quarry, you’ll get your hands on 32v32 warfare in a new mode, Ground War.”

We have yet to officially see gameplay of the new Ground War mode, but press sites like GameInformer have shared their impressions of it stating it’s a combination of large scale Battlefield style maps but with Call of Duty gameplay.

The Ground War mode features vehicles on the map, alongside Killstreaks to still earn and use.

Infinity Ward has announced in their Modern Warfare Early Access Beta Day 2 Recap that they will be investigating the addition of the mini map to the game.

Fans have been outraged over the lack of no mini map, with almost every official Call of Duty tweet getting spammed with bring the mini map back.

Infinity Ward has now stated that they will be adding in the mini map back on Day 3 of the PS4 Beta, but it will not display enemy fire as they continue to test out the changes they are making.

As we mentioned yesterday, we are still experimenting with the mini map, so tomorrow, the mini map will be turned on but will not display enemy fire.

Fans do want the entire original mini map experience for the game, but this is a step in the right direction as the studio investigates other solutions for this.

As always, we will keep you updated.

The Australia Classifications board has officially rated Call of Duty: Modern Warfare on their website ahead of the game’s October 25 launch.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare will be rated MA15+ in Australia, a rating that previous Call of Duty titles have had, but may come as a surprise given the intensity of the game’s settings and themes in regards to the campaign.

The Australia ratings board says the game has “Strong violence and war themes, and online interactivity.”

Here’s the overview of the ratings:

The full ratings listing is available on the Australia Classification site here. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare joins many of the other Call of Duty games, including the original Modern Warfare series getting a MA15+ rating.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 3, in 2015, was the first Call of Duty game in Australia to get the R18+ rating.

One of the big complaints coming out of the Modern Warfare Beta in regards to Gunsmith feature in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare is the lack of clarity over the items you can unlock for each weapon.

When you first select a level one weapon to use in Gunsmith, it only shows a selection of features to pick from — Muzzle, Optic, Stock, Perk, etc — but each weapon actually as a variety of selections beyond just those four. If you really level up the weapon, you get to pick the weapon’s Muzzle, Barrel, Lasers (varies per weapon), Stock, Perk, Grip, Magazine, and Underbarrel, but the current UI does not actually show all of that at first.

In addition, in each of the categories only one item is shown at first, and there’s no indication as to how many items there actually are in each one.

Infinity Ward has responded on Twitter to state that they will be working to add more clarity to ensure players know what each weapon has in Gunsmith.

Infinity Ward Senior CM also said on Twitter that they’re working to ensure weapon unlocks are noted clearer for launch.

Gunsmith allows players to customize and build out their weapons in a variety of ways never before seen in Call of Duty history.

The killstreak menu for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare has revealed a very first look at a new unannounced map for the game.

Under the killstreak “Infantry Assault Vehicle,” an option in the top right says which maps this vehicle is available to use on.

The map is called Karst River Quarry.

This map has not been revealed yet for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare. It could possibly be the Ground War map for the game, as the Infantry Assault Vehicle is a very large vehicle set for the big maps in the game.

Here’s the full image via iMirraz:

The Ground War mode, which is set to support up to 64 players, is expected to be in the Beta at some point.

Gestures and Sprays will be returning in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, according to an Activision Games Blog post.

The Activision Blog has a guide to the entire controller layouts for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, and how and what each button on the controller is used for in the game for PS4 Beta.

As part of this, the blog has noted that the Down D-Pad button on PS4 will be used for Gestures and Sprays in the game.

D-pad Down – Gesture/Spray: This enables a chosen hand gesture or spray.

Infinity Ward has not provided a full overview of the cosmetic loot items that will be available in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare at launch. The studio said they’ll share more about those plans ‘when they’re ready.’

A glitch in the Modern Warfare Beta has revealed that Supply Drops could be returning to Call of Duty: Modern Warfare. Some players were greeted with a ‘Common Supply Drop’ placeholder under unlocks in the After Action Report on the PS4 Beta.
