"People wanted faster movement, but not this fast" - Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 beta players aren't happy with slide spammers and the increased pace of the game

As the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 beta draws to a close, players have expressed dissatisfaction with the increased speed and slide spamming in the game. The beta, which was mainly available to pre-order players, saw high Steam numbers despite the limited release. While many players, including YouTube and streaming community members, had been calling for faster movement, some feel the beta's pace has become excessive.
The slide mechanic, in particular, has been criticized for enabling players to chain slides in gunfights and cancel them with jumps, making them harder to track. Some argue that the fast pace, combined with a short time to kill (TTK), creates a challenging experience for older fans who prefer a more classic gameplay style. The beta's maps have also been questioned, with players complaining about a lack of variety.
The studio has reportedly made balance adjustments to weapons, but the beta's small map playlist has raised concerns about the overall map selection for the final release. Modern Warfare 4 is set to launch on October 23rd across multiple platforms.
