Minimap arrives on the beta of Modern Warfare – but with a catch

The mini-card was an essential part of Call of Duty multiplayer mode in previous years of the franchise. The usual game modes allowed players to see the position of their teammates and their enemies in relation to their position on the map.

However, before the release of the beta, the developers behind the last iteration of the franchise announced the removal of the previously indispensable mini-card, removed entirely in the upper left corner of the 39; Traditional Head Up Display (HUD) for players.

Infinity Ward has noticed the fury of fans and popular personalities, because the lack of minimap continues to influence the gameplay in the beta.

Until now, players have been allowed access to a mini-map only via a deployable personal radar or a Scorestreak UAV (although of short duration).

Since this feature is an integral part of the multiplayer experience since Call of Duty 4: Modern warfare, the fact of not having a ubiquitous card to facilitate player positioning has brought many fans of the franchise to express their opinion via social media and subreddit Modern Warfare.

According to Williams' tweet, the mini-map will be ubiquitous, but will not show enemy fire. So just let the players understand their position relative to their teammates.

Along with your comments and the data we collect on an ongoing basis, we will experiment internally with several different options and will keep you informed if we make changes that you might see during the beta. "

Of course, this is not the traditional mini-map that fans have been used to before, but it's a start, and it shows that the development team is happy to hear from the community before the official release of October 25th.
