Rumor: Modern Warfare Mini Map Back to “Normal” by November, “Big Overhaul” Incoming

modern warfare

If you’re a Call of Duty fan, chances are, you’ve already waded through Modern Warfare’s rather slower paced multiplayer. If you’re one of the many (or few?) annoyed at how slow everything is, and how campy the game has become, rejoice! New rumors have surfaced claiming that the Modern Warfare mini map is going back to “normal,” and how there are big changes coming.

This was reported on by reliable Call of Duty leaker TheGamingRevolution.

By “normal,” this means that when players fire weapons that aren’t using suppressors, they will show up as red dots on the mini map where enemies can see their location. In addition to that, he also claims that a “big overhaul” is being planned for the shooter as well.

Given how the game favors a camping-heavy meta, I suspect this change will be a welcome move by those who play Call of Duty multiplayer every year (I’m one of them).

If you haven’t checked the game out yet, make sure to read our review to see how it stands up. We also posted a rumor listing down some of the DLC maps coming to the game (for free) down the line, and they’re full of classic ones.

This is why I skipped this shitty trash game. I PREFER NO MINI MAP. Use your own eyes & own fucking ears. All the babies cry & now they are going to make it like how it was. All the babies wanna run & gun so they need their stupid little mini map to give them a serious advantage.

FUCK OFF WITH THAT SHIT.

Zero…I agree with you ? percent…I only bought the game because it’s not the same. Didn’t buy previous years because it was a no strategy mindless shooter where mics are not needed. I like to communicate with friends while playing, makes it more fun.

I prefer the lack of a minimap, or the current compass one over the previous games. To many red dot chasers, and that shows here. The return of the mini-map isn’t gonna change the camping though, and people keep pointing that the gameplay is the reason for it when its not.

I’m enjoying MW gunplay and more realistic take, but that doesn’t mean there isn’t an issue with camping. Camping will always be a playstyle in games. There is nothing wrong with that, it’s a viable and most used option in real life anyway versus running out in the open like a moron. My problem is the game caters to much to it, and this has nothing to do with gunplay as I’ve played slower games with less camping. It’s more with the overall map designs IMO, they can make changes that can drastically change this. No need to cater to those wanting the mini-map back. The compass does the job.

I hope this rumor isn’t true, and this major overhaul they speak of, hopefully it’s just minor things and map edits.

I’m done clicking on this ” tumbleweed ” ass website after this slick comment! You talk about the people who play every year well you virgins don’t matter because there’s been way more real COD games than there’s been your ” closeted sex doll ” shooter with jet packs! Nope… This is the last straw.. I’m subbed to gaming revolution so you’re nothing more than a middleman cypher info to keep this dead website a float! Nope.. I knew you were one of these cornball 2000 babies! We bought MW for realism anyway and not play with you chumps anyway! Y’all complaining because we took COD over again and that’s just how it should be…. You should have told all the retards that we’ll still have our MODES and you guys will just have your ” training wheel/technically blind shit head ” servers where all the shrimps go!! Punk….

Yikes. It’s just his opinion, and I share it to a degree. the game is very camp meta, and yes it’s a legitimate playstyle. Nothing wrong with that, in real war people camp rather than moronically run out to get gunned down. That’s the risk of real life, something a game doesn’t have unless we talk about the one life modes.

The issue with it is that the game caters to it a ton, and the devs were pretty open prior to release about it suiting every playstyle. They addressed that when people complained about the slowness of the gunplay, which I love and hope doesn’t change.

I don’t mind the realistic take on the series, it’s great. But it goes against their very own design, especially when they have a good chunk of games never reaching their objective goals. IDK what major overhaul they plan on doing, but I hope it really isn’t major. Keep the Mini-map the way it is now, let red dot chasers suffer, but change the sound design on footsteps (those are not realistic), change the layout of the map just a bit to allow more visibility. I don’t ask for a lot, just small changes that can make a big difference.

For me, if the the game is gonna go that route then don’t take a half measure like it is right now, just go all out. They upped player count from previous COD games and made the maps larger. I honestly would have preferred smaller maps with less player count (I enjoy Gunfight for this and custom games) and the camping would have made more sense to me as it employs greater risk.

Again, I love a lot of this game. I’m by no means a bad player, typically matches with the highest KD. I just want some changes, not a major overhaul. Keep the mini-map out.

Seriously I will want a refund if they do this. Yeah camping is abut irritating but that’s more dieb to map design than anything else.
