Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare’s first multiplayer beta got an extension for a few more days. The beta was launched only on PlayStation 4. However, the final game will get released on all gaming consoles and even the PC.
Polygon confirmed that Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare be will be available until 18th October, 10 am PT. Infinity Ward decided to avail the time extension to test the new matchmaking system and to assure superior quality. There were some glitches reported by the players in the initial days. Hence the developers announced the extension.
The multiplayer version of Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare will get the new matchmaking system, later this year. The new system will ensure a better multiplayer version and assure the players a great game.
During a quality check for the beta, Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare got a new map and also a new game mode. The developers have assured the players that the fourth map and the new game mode will be available until the beta ends.
The fourth map introduced in the Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare’s first beta is called the Precinct. According to Polygon, the Precinct is a medium-sized map that includes narrow backstreets and large interiors. These would be the sites for intense combat.
The official description of the map confirms that it is suitable for all play styles. The three other maps in the beta are the Frost, Frontier, and Throwback.
The new game mode is called Kill Confirmed. The mode isn’t new to the franchise since previously Call of Duty games included the mode.
Activision had confirmed that the various game modes would be rotated throughout the weekend of the first beta. The other modes included in the first beta of Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare is Team Death Match, Domination, and Defender.
The Defender mode is similar to the Oddball mode seen in Halo. The mode involves two teams fighting over the possession of a ball and the longer they can keep it, the more scores they can amass for their team.
Defender’s position keeps changing in the slot. Gun Game and Kill Confirmed mode often replace the Defender mode.
Another beta version will be made available from the 21st to the 24th of October. This one would find a place in both the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. There isn’t any news for the PC.
The first beta of Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare was made available to those who had pre-ordered the game and possess the codes offered by the retailers. The trailer for the Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare didn’t receive a lot of good reviews.
The inclusion of spaceships and future weapons didn’t seem to get the approval of the seasoned Call of Duty players. According to Forbes, Call of Duty has been toying with the idea of the future for a few years now and have hinted at it in many of the previous installments.
The idea of science fiction elements in Call of Duty wasn’t much of a problem, but the introduction of full-fledged space combat makes Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare a sci-fi game. The players vocally criticized the deviation from the regular storyline of Call of Duty, but the developers haven’t initiated any changes.
The beta includes wall run and double jump. Even though Call of Duty: Infinite Wars downplays powered-jumps and different technology-assisted acrobatics, the game feels like a traditional modern-day Call of Duty.
