Modern Warfare devs respond to complaints about annoying player collision Call of Duty: Modern Warfare players have been complaining about a noticeable increase in teammate body-blocking, and now developers Infinity Ward have issued a response. Player collisions, more commonly referred to as body-blocking, has been one of the more frustrating things in many Call of Duty titles over the years. Running into your own teammates can throw off your timing when you\u2019re rushing to get to a power position. Also, if you\u2019re engaged in a gunfight with a teammate close by, them bumping into you will often move your character\u2019s body and cause you to miss shots and possibly even die. Up until now, teammate collisions haven\u2019t been a huge topic of contention, probably because players have had other things to complain about. However, after an update released on December 31, Infinity Ward appeared to have secretly added a new player collision mechanic that made bumping into teammates a much more serious issue. In fact, these collisions are now happening a lot more than before, so players are understandably getting annoyed. \u201cAre you going to revert the player collision changes?\u201d one Reddit user asked. Another frustrated user pitched in with his two cents on the topic: \u201cPretty sure I could speak for everyone playing the game right now \u2013 can you not just remove the changes and revert them to the previous state, like applying a backup file to our clients, since this collision issue is a hotspot of frustration?\u201d Infinity Ward respond to player collision complaints Joel Emslie, Infinity Ward\u2019s Art Director and one of the lead developers of Modern Warfare, replied to these complaints on Reddit and revealed that they were \u201cdefinitely\u201d looking into it. \u201cWe are definitely looking into that,\u201d he wrote. \u201cI\u2019m not sure if the fix is in flight or still being worked on.\u201d As the long Reddit post above suggests, this response is both good and bad news as far as players are concerned. While it does confirm that a fix to player collision is in the works, it doesn\u2019t provide any specific timetable for when it\u2019ll be implemented. This means players will have to deal with the increased rate of body-blocking for now, even if it means sometimes being thrown off and even dying because of it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
