Infinity Ward has just rolled out the first significant update to the beta, and it's packed with changes based on player feedback from day one.



Here's what you can expect:

Key Updates:

• A brand new map has been introduced, offering fresh terrain for players to explore and strategise on.
• A new game mode has been added, expanding the gameplay options and keeping things interesting.
• One of the most talked-about changes is the adjustment to footstep audio. Players reported that footstep sounds were a bit too pronounced, and the developers have toned them down for a more balanced experience.
• Weapon lethality has also been tweaked, ensuring that the gameplay feels fair and competitive.
• Map voting has been implemented, giving players more control over their gaming experience.

Spoiler: Full Statement and Patch Notes

Thank you to everyone for your energy on Day 1 of the Early Access Beta. We had a blast playing with you, and we're ready to run it back all weekend.

Day 2 will bring a variety of bug fixes and gameplay adjustments, including a new Map and Mode which join the Multiplayer rotation at 10:00am PT

We'll be deploying an update shortly that aims to address a lot of the community feedback from yesterday. We heard you loud and clear on the footstep volume, so we've adjusted things downward for today. We've been following the conversation and agree that time-to-kill (TTK) isn't quite right yet, so we've tuned down the lethality of some of our guns to start. Finally, we made a tweak to boost visibility on Transit 213. Let us know if you think these adjustments are in the right direction, and expect more in the future.

We also know some of you had some trouble getting into the Beta yesterday, and we'll be working over time to clarify in-game error messaging and improve our Secure Attestation Wizard for PC players. Keep in mind the wizard doesn't just diagnose issues, it fixes them too, so give it a try if you haven't already.

We're working every day of the Beta to improve the experience, so keep the feedback coming. We're listening.
