Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Fans Aren't Happy About the Game's Maps

4.2

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare released last night on PS4, Xbox One, and PC. And, as you would expect, the servers were down for a couple of hours. However, eventually, and most of today, players have been getting in just fine, and the general temperature of the Call of Duty community seems to range from lukewarm to impressed, with the campaign being particularly noteworthy. That said, most gamers who come to the series don't come to it for the campaign, but for the multiplayer. And again, the reception has been a mixed bag.

There's no doubting the gunplay still feels great and there's a lot of features and excellent design choices around the edges. However, there does seem to be two reoccurring complaints: no red dots on the minimap and the game's maps. Obviously, of these two, issues with the maps is the bigger concern as it's much more integral to the experience. And according to many players, a lot of the game's maps are too large, encourage camping, or are simply designed poorly.

Modern Warfare... man. These maps... these might be the worst maps on CoD so far. I don’t know if it’s because I’m unfamiliar and lack map awareness but I don’t think that would even improve it.

It’s not even a bad game but for each thing I like, I find something I dislike..

The beta maps felt a lot like COD, but the new maps that I tried today feels like battlefield? SUPER open area, forces you to camp/play slow & a billion angles, I had to sit in corners/behind cover and just soak up kills, didnt feel like a call of duty to me.

I think they hit the game spot on, weapons are great maps are great. First call of duty in a while that I get anxious to play when I get off work. I personally think IW hit this on the nail.

Alias I'd say about half the people who say the dislike it are blaming maps and also how people play on them camping wise

The only thing I don't like is if you want kill streaks you have to camp which is dull and boring to me
