News Summary:

Infinity Ward announced Double XP, integrated Warzone, and deployed a major patch on August 31, 2026, for the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 beta, making changes to movement, time-to-kill (TTK), spawns, and Killstreaks in an effort to address perceived issues with the beta. Previously, following the beta's initial five-day session ending August 25, players expressed unhappiness with the increased game pace and "slide spammers," despite the pre-order exclusive phase seeing high player numbers. On August 24, Activision and developer Infinity Ward released an update for the multiplayer beta, adjusting weapon damage values, refining player spawn logic, and resolving in-game bugs, ahead of the beta's expansion to all players across PC, PlayStation, and Xbox. Also on August 24, Canadian retailer Video Games Plus indicated that physical copies of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 for Nintendo Switch 2 would contain only a download code. This followed Infinity Ward's August 22 post detailing the first set of fixes for the Modern Warfare 4 beta, confirming work was underway on frequently raised issues after the test's opening day.
