Activision releases 4K Modern Warfare multiplayer gameplay

Activision has released a 24-minute Call of Duty: Modern Warfare multiplayer gameplay video.

Captured in 4K on PlayStation 4 Pro, it showcases five different game modes across five multiplayer maps, including one night variant.

Activision detailed Modern Warfare’s multiplayer offering in early August. It will support more than 100 players, although there’s no confirmation of a battle royale mode yet.

For the first time in the series PC and console players will be able to play together online via cross-platform play, while the game will ditch the franchise’s traditional season pass “in order to deliver a greater mix of more free maps, content and community events post-launch”.

The publisher plans to hold a Modern Warfare open beta in September, featuring cross-play testing on its second weekend.

During a recent earnings call, Activision chief operating officer Coddy Johnson said the company has a number of surprises in store for the “breathtaking” Modern Warfare, “including the largest post-launch content pipeline in franchise history”.
