While it’s already known that Call of Duty: Modern Warfare will support crossplay, there’s no word yet on whether Modern Warfare cross save will also be a thing. It seems there’s a good reason why we haven’t heard of this yet, and that’s because Infinity Ward themselves are figuring it out.

Over on Twitter, Joe Cecot, Co-Design Director of Multiplayer confirmed this Modern Warfare cross save info when answering a fan.

On another note, it’s also known by now that Modern Warfare will, for the first time, not feature a mini map in multiplayer! Instead, the game will feature an in-game compass, and feature teammates’ outlines in order to help with tactics and communication. But the standard mini map where you can see your teammates, and enemies when they fire their un-suppressed weapons? Yeah, that’s gone. Now, if you were hoping that Infinity Ward changes their mind regarding this, you’re in luck! Studio Art Director Joel Emslie was asked whether Infinity Ward was open to changing the mini map situation if enough people aren’t happy with it in the beta, to which Emslie confirmed that the studio prefers if gamers tried for themselves and didn’t rely on secondhand feedback(ie: influencers, etc.).

As someone who prefers that there be a mini map, I”m glad Infinity Ward is keeping an open mind about this. Let’s see what the general consensus will be once the beta rolls around in September.

It’s been a very busy last few days so far regarding the game, and if you want to keep tabs on the stories we run for Modern Warfare, make sure to bookmark and refresh our game hub.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare made a big change this year by not including an always active mini-map/radar, and while the community has been debating away whether or not they should add it back, one thing is certain that many can agree on is that there definitely should be a way to know where teammates are. Luckily, reps from both Infinity Ward and Activision have clarified that players will be able to see teammates through walls.

Taking to Twitter, Activision Ambassador of Third Party Marketing explained that we would be able to see our own teammates through walls, however the build that was presented at the event had been bugged, which is why it wasn’t present.

I’m seeing a lot of misconception re; the Mini Map in #CallofDuty #ModernWarfare. I want to clarify that you will be able to see teammates through walls, but this feature was not included in the MPU reveal build due to a bug. It IS in the game, however.

Art Director at Infinity Ward Joel Emslie also chimed in on this to further add on to this explanation.

Had a typo – It only outlines when friendlies are obstructed by walls and geometry. When they are in plain sight its tag and small ui indicators.

— Joel Emslie (@ArtPeasant) August 2, 2019

If you want to see this in action, Game Informer, which has exclusive coverage throughout the month, have been posting new gameplay videos since the reveal from the build they played. In it, you can clearly see teammates are outlined when they go behind objects so it’s easier to keep track of where everybody is.

It’s open to debate whether this change will be embraced by the community, or whether Infinity Ward will somehow be forced to bring the mini map back if player demand is high enough. Based on the gameplay you’ve seen so far, do you think the mini map should be brought back, or can this teammate outline feature be enough?

Just last week, we mentioned that in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, guns will have over 40+ attachments each. Now, if you’re wondering just how this works and whether there really is that many attachments to the game’s weapons, the answer is a quick yes. Below, we’ve listed some of the Modern Warfare gun attachments that will be available in the game.

Thanks to Reddit user Xeppeling, you can check out the Modern Warfare gun attachments below along with their corresponding effect to the weapon when equipped. Note that this is NOT the final gun attachments list, and each attachment has different kinds of variants that affect the weapon’s stats and performance.

Attachments

This is an overall look at the available attachments in game. Not all attachments are available for all guns, and I believe some attachments may be available for only one gun. Additionally, most of this list is comprised by looking at the available attachments for one or two guns. Weapons that share the same attachment could see slight performance changes between them.

Additionally, the amount of +/- there are next to a modifier(s) in the pros/cons relates to how significant of an impact that modifier has. So for example, an attachment that has the Pros of ++Hipfire Accuracy (tighter bullet spread while shooting from the hip) will give better hipfire accuracy than an attachment that has the Pros +Hipfire Accuracy. The same works for Cons. An attachment that has Cons of –Movement Speed will make you move slower than an attachment that has Cons of -Movement Speed.

Another new addition to Modern Warfare are the gun perks. These perks give extra features to guns, and could alter how you use them.

Again, note that the list above does NOT represent the entire Modern Warfare gun attachments list. This is what was shown in the press preview, so there’s a good chance that we’ll see more of them in the final game.

Many questions have been circulating on the net since the reveal that Call of Duty: Modern Warfare would feature crossplay. We now know the system works, and that PC and console players can freely play with one another, but many had wondered how they would handle the friends list and party chat between the platform, we’ll we have finally gotten confirmation on what system will be used.

The first confirmation of how the system would work in-game comes from the owner of the Karnageclan, who attended the press event by Activision.

From what I recall cross play looked to have Activision account integration, making it likely the way to play with your friends on different platforms

Quick join friends lists were divided into folders of “Activision” and your current console

The tweet here isn’t exactly clear, as it only appears that the user wasn’t actually able to test it out themselves, and for good reasons. In a Q&A session hosted by Drift0r on Mixer, we and a few other users asked him about how the crossplay system would work.

“It’s the same as crossplay on Fortnite. It all integrates through Activision, so that’s easy. ” He stated during his livestream addressing how easy it was to connect to other players. When I asked him if there would be some sort of integrated party chat and friends list he commented by saying that it was visible, but it wasn’t accessible in this build.

And in related crossplay news, we learned earlier this year that matchmaking would be based on input, meaning whatever controller the system detects you are using it would attempt to matchmake you with other players of the same input. The reason for the is pretty obvious as the developers didn’t want to have a full team of pre-mades or just regular players from PC have a major competitive edge due to the low latency that mouse and keyboard supply. It’s still possible for PC players to play with console users, but the system for normal matchmaking is still in place if they were to decide to play solo and not with console friends and vice-versa. Interesting enough though is that it seems that Infinity Ward may be working on some solution for console players as it has been confirmed that they will have four levels of aim assist, at least for now. Image from Reddit.

Pretty basic aim assist settings aside from the enhanced option, which according to the description offers a “near-miss” assist. We aren’t sure how we feel about this, and or if its an option available across the modes and not just crossplay, which if it is would certainly defeat the purpose of using any other options.

We’ve already listed the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare perks and Field Upgrades, and even posted a gameplay demo of every killstreak reward in the game, but this time, it’s the weapons’ turn! Below is the known complete Modern Warfare 2019 weapons list!

Note that the weapons listed below are just the ones shown by Infinity Ward at the press event, and is not the final weapons list that will be available at launch.

In almost every Call of Duty game, one of the big highlights every year is finding out which perks made the list, if there are new ones, and more. For Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, Infinity Ward is dropping the familiar Pick-10 system created by Treyarch, and is instead going back to the original three-slot perk system which a lot of people missed. Below, you’ll see the entire Modern Warfare perks list, and something called “Field Upgrades” as well, which we’ll talk about in a bit.

Modern Warfare perks list:

PERK 1 SLOT (BLUE)

• Double Time – Triple the duration of Super Sprint and fully refresh Super Sprint on kills.
• E.O.D. – Take reduced damage from non-killstreak explosives and fire. Hack enemy Claymores, Proximity Mines, and C4.
