Modern Warfare developer finally responds to battle royale rumors Infinity WardAn Infinity Ward developer has stated that their focus for CoD: Modern Warfare remains on multiplayer and not a battle royale, following rumors. Ever since the new Modern Warfare name was confirmed back in May, Call of Duty fans have been left wondering as to whether or not Infinity Ward would follow up on Blackout with a battle royale of their own. Despite apparent leaks around a mega separate mode, the developers have showcased numerous parts of their multiplayer. Eager fans got to witness plenty of gameplay thanks to the Multiplaye premiere on August 1, with the full set of killstreaks, brand new perks, and more informative details being revealed. Yet, the battle royale talk has been eerily quiet. However, Infinity Ward might just have quashed any hopes. Speaking to IGN, Infinity Ward\u2019s MP Design Director Joe Cecot stated that Modern Warfare will be a \u201cdifferent experience\u201d compared to previous releases. He said: \u201cWe really focused on Modern Warfare, authentic and gritty, realistic weapons, and it\u2019s a different experience. It\u2019s really\u2026just about pulling back to Modern Warfare and keeping that pure.\u201d Cecot also confirmed that the developer\u2019s focus is with the core multiplayer experience. \u201c[Infinity Ward are] big fans of battle royale. We\u2019re excited for large player counts and things like that, but right now we\u2019re really focused on core multiplayer,\u201d he added. Will Modern Warfare have a battle royale after release? Perhaps the most impressive part about the Modern Warfare reveal was the increased lobby sizes \u2013 with the new Ground War mode having a 100-player lobby. Clearly, with that running smoothly, the technology is there to blow away the current battle royale genre with a new and improve CoD offering. Cecot continued on: \u201c On the technical side, we\u2019ve had to do a ton of work on the multiplayer side to make things more efficient so we could push the player counts higher and higher and higher.\u201d While Infinity Ward has not ruled out having a battle royale, instead opting for a no comment in the past, it does seem to appear as if Modern Warfare will not dip its toe in the BR market. Some fans may still cling on to the hope of dominating their friends in search of a victory royale, they might just want to let go off what hope remains.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
