Beta Weekend One for Modern Warfare II has come and gone. Players around the world took to their PlayStations to try out the newest Call of Duty for the first time. Although the feedback seemed to be overwhelmingly positive it did not come without some criticism. The short break between beta weekends is upon us an Infinity Ward has taken the opportunity to address concerns post-Beta Weekend One. This article will cover some of the most hotly-contested points surrounding the beta and with a lot to cover let’s jump straight into it.

Mini-Map Red Dots

The mini-map has `long been a feature in Call of Duty used by players to help calculate their next moves. Further, the mini-map provides need-to-know intel about your enemies and where they are on the map. Players noticed that these enemy position signifying red dots were absent from their MW2 mini-maps. This has since been addressed by the developers who have claimed the desire to not “punish players for firing their weapons.” This point has been met with some contention from a player base that wants to see the return of the classic mini-map.

Perks

Infinity Ward has shaken up the classic perk system to introduce a new system this year. Players earn their perks throughout the course of a match with their best perks being the “hardest” to earn. Moving into Beta Weekend Two, the earn rate for these perks is being drastically accelerated. In addition, Dead Silence will be remaining as a Field Upgrade due to it being perceived as overpowered as a perk.

Sliding

Slide cancelling is a movement technique allowing players to be quick and agile around the map. Moving into Modern Warfare II, however, slide cancelling is no more. Players have since found a workaround that the developers will be looking into how to address. That said, however, Infinity Ward will be making slide changes pre-launch to improve players’ overall movement.
