Modern Warfare dev slams \u2018attention-seeking\u2019 dataminer for fake leaks Infinity Ward developer Joe Cecot has taken aim at a Modern Warfare dataminer who leaked that a \u201cmassive overhaul\u201d would be coming to the title, suggesting the YouTuber was chasing attention by dropping fake information. MW has been met with its fair share of leaks throughout development. From a 200 player battle royale mode to various DLC maps, a great deal of information has spilled out online well ahead of official confirmation from Infinity Ward. While certain leaks have been spot on, one particular claim from notorious dataminer \u2018TheGamingRevolution\u2019 seems to have been misguided, leading to a heated response from Infinity Ward\u2019s co-design director of multiplayer Joe Cecot. The controversy stems from a since-deleted Tweet by TheGamingRevolution that outlined how \u201cthere\u2019s a big overhaul coming\u201d to Modern Warfare in the near future. From mini-map frustrations to spawning issues and overall map design, the Call of Duty community was desperate to see change at the time of the original post on November 1. Despite receiving a number of major updates ever-since, certain Modern Warfare players have continued to express their frustration. One particular fan called out Cecot directly, stating that \u201cit is now December and we still have yet to see this \u2018Overhaul.\u2019 Nice way to say f*ck you.\u201d Cecot has since come forward and disputed this heated comment, stating that the \u201coverhaul was a fake statement to get attention.\u201d https:\/\/twitter.com\/JoeCecot\/status\/1201210818785792000 \u201cWe are constantly updating the game at least once a week, sometimes twice. Season 1 incoming,\u201d he continued, outlining how the claims of one specific overhaul were entirely false and only served to benefit the leaker. Additionally, while updates have been flowing consistently since launch and Season One is indeed set to kick off on December 3, the one \u201cbig update\u201d that the majority of players \u201ckeep asking about,\u201d still eludes fans. Infinity Ward\u2019s senior communications manager Ashton Williams shared on November 21 she was \u201cfinalizing notes,\u201d however no update since her now-controversial post has addressed the primary concerns of the most avid players. https:\/\/twitter.com\/ashtonisVULCAN\/status\/1197242593785942016 Furthering the issue , TheGamingRevolution highlighted how his early leaks were supposedly backed up by Williams\u2019 statement. \u201cCan people stop saying \u2018but Infinity Ward never confirmed an overhaul.\u2019 They specifically said a big update is coming,\u201d the leaker explained. \u201cThey specifically mentioned the update that everyone is asking about, and the only big update that people were asking about was the overhaul.\u201d \u201cAshton even directly mentioned, \u201cthe big update\u201d that everyone was asking her about \u2013 referring to the overhaul. I don\u2019t understand the mistruths or deception\u201d he concluded. https:\/\/twitter.com\/TheGamingRevoYT\/status\/1201271035775082498 https:\/\/twitter.com\/TheGamingRevoYT\/status\/1201243420938973186 While Cecot took issue with the \u2018attention-grabbing\u2019 claims of an upcoming \u2018overhaul,\u2019 there\u2019s no telling whether drastic changes are still in the pipeline to appease hardcore Call of Duty players. TheGamingRevolution went on to verify a number of his previous leaks including the recently confirmed 1v1 and 3v3 Gunfight game modes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
