Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4's first beta patch adds a new map and mode, as Infinity Ward responds to complaints about footstep noise and weapon lethality
Cachette and Inflation join the fray as Infinity Ward adjusts footsteps and gun damage.
Infinity Ward, the developer of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4, has released a first patch for the game's beta version following complaints from players. The update introduces a new map named Cachette and a new mode called Inflation. Cachette is a compact, 6v6 map set on the outskirts of a French rail terminal, featuring an old mechanics garage and an abandoned wine warehouse.
Inflation is a cash-based mode where eliminating enemies grants the player cash, and the player with the most cash becomes a high-value target. If a player eliminates a high-value target, they can steal their cash and potentially become the next HVT. Additionally, the beta patch reduces the volume of footstep noises and adjusts the lethality of some weapons based on player feedback.
Infinity Ward also implemented map voting, a system that now requires four maps to function properly, with Cachette being one of them. The early access beta for Modern Warfare 4 concludes on August 25, followed by a second, open beta on August 28. During the open beta, players will also have the opportunity to experience the latest iteration of Warzone alongside the multiplayer modes and a playable campaign mission.
