The team behind Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 believes that players have only gotten better at the game since the franchise became a pop culture juggernaut.<\/p>\n
Speaking to IGN ahead of Modern Warfare 4’s highly anticipated beta, multiplayer design lead Jacky Reynolds expressed the belief that the average Call of Duty player has only gotten better with time. As a result, it has pushed Infinity Ward and the various teams behind Call of Duty to play their game inside and out to ensure there aren’t ways for players to exploit the most powerful items to ruin the fun for others.<\/p>\n
“I think in general, the average player is just so much better than they were 15 years ago,” Reynolds said as part of a sweeping interview on all things Modern Warfare 4. “A big thing that we have internally, as well as making that victim experience [satisfying], is making sure that we play everything with each other to make sure that there’s not any crazy strategies that can break open a whole sandbox. Kind of like when you had One Man Army and grenade launcher rounds and you could just infinitely shoot them across the map [in the original Modern Warfare 2].”<\/p>\n
