Modern Warfare fail shows why automated callouts need to be removed New mechanics in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare changed the multiplayer experience for a lot of players, but features like the automated callouts have been more hurtful than helpful. There\u2019s been a ton of community feedback about the new, slower approach to combat in Modern Warfare, which hasn\u2019t been in a CoD title for quite some time. While players adjust to the new pace of the title, they\u2019ve been taken by surprise from strange features in MW. With slower gameplay comes more chances to catch players by surprise, as some people opt to run around the map to push advantages \u2013 that is, until the game betrays you in the most bizarre way possible. Great callout, terrible timing That\u2019s the predicament Reddit user \u2018CrosVs\u2019 found themselves in when they were waiting for the opportune moment to strike when the game ultimately revealed their location to the other team. \u201cThe callouts are very counterintuitive and make no sense most of the time,\u201d they said. \u201cIn this clip, for example, there\u2019s no ally even near me, and my character likes to mention to the enemy that I do indeed see movement.\u201d As one opponent had bypassed their location, another enemy came into sight down the way, which might have triggered one of the in-game automated callouts: \u201cI see movement.\u201d The main problem with these callouts are that both teams can hear them. Which in turn, means that anyone near the callout is capable of hearing the triggered response. Since the in-game mechanic was able to tip off the foe, they quickly turned around to take out the covert player. While the callout\u2019s timing was terrible for the player, all is not without hope. Infinity Ward also feels like this probably isn\u2019t the right direction for automated callouts, since it can obviously hinder the game. Excited to get the footstep tuning in live along with these other changes. More updates in the works: \u2013 more restricted player call out logic \u2013 prevent enemies from hearing call outs in all modes \u2013 challenge system fixes \u2013 weapon tuning \u2013 spawn updates https:\/\/t.co\/YF0KBYttLT\u2014 Joe Cecot (@JoeCecot) November 2, 2019 Infinity Ward\u2019s Co-Design Director of Multiplayer Joe Cecot already said that the dev team are exploring ways to negate this from happening by preventing \u201cenemies from hearing call-outs in all modes.\u201d Although it\u2019s unknown when that update should take effect, that should put an end for unfortunate eliminations at the hands of automated callouts.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
