"Our goal with Modern Warfare is to bring all gamers together from day one to play together," said Patrick Kelly, creative director and co-studio head at Infinity Ward.
"We're doing away with the season pass; we're delivering a mix of free maps, a tonne of content following launch and we're developing the game for crossplay. We're live-testing now, and fans will get to try for themselves next month in the beta. This is a new day for Call of Duty multiplayer, and today is just the start - we have many more exciting reveals coming for fans that we can't wait to share."
Awarded "Best Online Multiplayer" by Game Critics Best of E3 2019, Modern Warfare multiplayer delivers a game-changing online experience with best-in-class down-the-barrel gameplay, along with an all-new level of strategic and tactical play. Players can jump into new play spaces that redefine Call of Duty multiplayer, from quick-action, close-quarters 2-vs-2 experiences in Gunfight, traditional 6-vs-6 multiplayer gameplay, and modes that support 10-vs-10 and 20-vs-20 firefights, along with high-player count maps and combat, such as the all-new Ground War, an epic large-scale mode supporting more than 100 players.
With a complete weapon overhaul and the most choices in Call of Duty history, players will be able to outfit their multiplayer operators for every combat encounter, with unprecedented customisation and modifiability in the new Gunsmith system. Modern Warfare features cutting-edge visuals and authentic sound design with realistic recoil and weapon ballistics throughout the game. In addition, gameplay mechanics, including bullet penetration, gun mounting, door breaching and night vision multiplayer gameplay maps featuring night vision goggles, allow for a whole new tactical experience.
In addition to unveiling the game's multiplayer, Infinity Ward also announced the Modern Warfare open beta, featuring crossplay testing on weekend two, where fans will be able to get their hands-on ahead of the game's launch on October 25.
