Censor slams \u201cnightmare\u201d Modern Warfare over Infinity Ward decisions Call of Duty pro Doug \u2018Censor\u2019 Martin has lashed out at developers Infinity Ward over various decisions they\u2019ve made with CoD: Modern Warfare, specifically regarding the mini-map and prestiging. Modern Warfare has been criticized by some members of the community for some of its changes the established Call of Duty formula. One main area of criticism relates to the lack of visible red-dots on players\u2019 mini-maps. In past CoDs, players firing unsuppressed weapons would cause them to appear as red-dots on enemy mini-maps. Modern Warfare dropped this, opting to only show enemy locations through killstreaks such as Personal Radar and UAVs. Censor has made a return to professional Call of Duty for Modern Warfare, being signed as a substitute for the New York Subliners. He last played professional CoD for CompLexity Gaming in Sledgehammer Games\u2019 CoD: WWII. However, it appears Censor is struggling to get to grips with the latest CoD installment. On November 24, he tweeted his frustrations with numerous decisions made by developers. \u201cI can\u2019t believe Call of Duty this year doesn\u2019t have prestiging or red dots on a mini-map,\u201d he said. \u201cI\u2019m sorry for the negative tweets but it feels like I\u2019m living in a nightmare and can\u2019t wake up!\u201d I can\u2019t believe Call of Duty this year doesn\u2019t have prestiging or red dots on a mini map. I\u2019m sorry for the negative tweets but it feels like I\u2019m living in a nightmare and can\u2019t wake up! \u2014 Doug Censor Martin (@Censor) November 24, 2019 He followed up with another tweet, chronicling the questions he asks himself, including: \u201cAm I unable to adapt? Am I too old? Is there new kids who are demanding these changes?\u201d Some questions will likely remain unanswered, considering the discretion with which developers operate. CoD developers certainly have to tread a fine line when implementing changes. Some innovations, like the new Gunsmith section, have been positively received. However, recent changes to mini-maps, like the \u2018Fog of War\u2019 in Black Ops 4 and Modern Warfare\u2019s subsequent adjustments, were both met with negative community feedback overall. Am I unable to adapt? Am I too old? Is there new kids who are demanding these changes? Is there something in an algorithm on the back end that suggests these ideas? Am I the problem with this? These are the questions my mind asks when I think about this years title. \u2014 Doug Censor Martin (@Censor) November 24, 2019 Censor is also not the only professional to complain about prestiging (or the lack thereof) either. On November 23, pro player Chance \u2018Maux\u2019 Moncivaez tweeted: \u201cAlright I gotta ask. Who complained about prestiging?\u201d Other pro players, such as Karma and Silly, tweeted their agreement. Modern Warfare removed the typical level of prestiging every 50 to 70 levels in favor of a more basic ranking up system. The game\u2019s current level cap is 155, but many players have reached this already and expect it to be raised soon. Infinity Ward have acknowledged the community\u2019s concerns over the mini-map, but as of yet have not made any definitive decisions over future adjustments in Modern Warfare. Many are expecting the level cap to be raised, particularly when Modern Warfare\u2019s in-game \u2018seasons\u2019 start. Level 155 roughly equates to three \u2018prestiges\u2019 from past games, in which there was often a limit of 10 or 20. Last year\u2019s Black Ops 4, for example, had 10 prestiges of 55 levels, before players worked their way up to Level 1000.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
