Modern Warfare 4 Developers Address Need for Balance in Call of Duty
The team behind Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 believes that players have only gotten better at the game since the franchise became a pop culture juggernaut.
Infinity Ward, the developers behind Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4, have addressed concerns about maintaining balance in the game ahead of its highly anticipated beta. In an interview with IGN, multiplayer design lead Jacky Reynolds stated that the average Call of Duty player has become increasingly skilled over time. To counteract this, Infinity Ward has worked meticulously to prevent exploitative strategies that could ruin the gaming experience for others.
Reynolds elaborated on their internal playtesting process, noting that they examine every aspect of the game together to identify any broken strategies, similar to the notorious One Man Army exploit in Modern Warfare 2. This perk allowed players to change their loadouts without dying and restock grenade launcher ammunition, leading to an unfair advantage.
Developers put significant effort into preventing such exploits in Modern Warfare 4 to ensure a fair and enjoyable gameplay experience. As of now, fans will have to wait for the beta to determine if Infinity Ward has succeeded in their balancing efforts.
