Modern Warfare dev provides major update on killstreaks on CDL playlist Infinity WardA Modern Warfare developer has provided fans with a major update about the future of killstreaks in the game\u2019s Call of Duty League playlist. With the start of the Call of Duty League in January, Infinity Ward finally released a playlist featuring the game modes, maps, and rules that fans can watch their favorite professional players and teams compete under during competition matches. In CDL matches, one thing that is noticeably missing from play are killstreaks, which are normally earned by competitors when they chain together kill after kill, with things like UAVs, rockets, or attack helicopters all available to be called in during public matches in the game. In professional competition, these strikes are either banned by Infinity Ward themselves or not used by players as part of gentlemen\u2019s agreements, However, when the playlist launched, they were all available inside it. Unsurprisingly, this was extremely frustrating for those who had been excited about competing against opponents under the same ruleset as the pro players, with many calling on the developers to introduce the same settings that pro players use, even including some Call of Duty League casters who grew frustrated by the situation. \u201cI love Call of Duty,\u201d wrote Miles Ross, who can regularly be heard calling the action with Phillip \u2018Momo\u2019 Whitfield, \u201cBut killstreaks in the CDL playlist have got to go.\u201d The good news is that Infinity Ward are not only aware of the sentiment, but will be rolling out a patch to address the issue, with Infinity Ward multiplayer designer David Mickner replying: \u201cThe playlist settings reflect all killstreaks being restricted, but we need a small patch update to validate. Coming in the near future.\u201d The playlist settings reflect all killstreaks being restricted but we need a small patch update to validate. Coming in the near future \u2014 David Mickner (@DavidMickner) February 19, 2020 Under current CDL rules, the only streaks that are not specifically banned are the VTOL Jet, Cruise Missile, and Gunship, although those are not in use by pro players anyway. Whether they will be available to unlock in the playlist once the patch is issued remains to be seen, but Mickner\u2019s statement that \u201call\u201d killstreaks will be restricted implies that Infinity Ward will be following the pros with this update. There is currently no official release time for this patch, but the developer did confirm that it would be coming in the near future, and with Modern Warfare usually receiving updates on Tuesdays, the earliest we can likely expect to see it is February 25.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
