This will create the breach effect used in previous iterations in the series.

Instead, you can simply throw your C4 onto the door and detonate it.

Doors can be breached but you don’t have to press a button or sit through a canned animation to do so.

They can be slammed open by sprinting through them or sliding into them.

Doors that can be opened on maps can be opened by pressing Square or X (on Xbox One).

Because there is no mini-map, one of the first kill streaks you unlock is the personal UAV which essentially gives you the mini map you’ll be missing.

Instead, there is a compass at the top that shows red triangle-like shapes to indicate to you where players who are shooting are located. Instead of running down one of three lanes in a more symmetrical three-land map, you might focus your aim on the two-story building on the right side of the map because it gives you great cross-sectional sight lines across the rest of the map, for example.

When designing non-Flash Maps, developers attempted to recreate the feel of maps from games like Doom where each map has key areas that players attempt to take control of in an effort to gain the upper hand.

This is because map design has shifted focus to freestanding buildings positioned around the map to create power play areas.

While symmetrical three-lane maps are present in Modern Warfare, they’re almost exclusive to the 2v2 Gunfight mode.

Battle Maps will be used for game modes like Ground War, which is an “epic large-scale mode supporting more than 100 players.”

Large player count maps are called Battle Maps.

Medium-sized maps used for 6v6 game modes are called Tactical Maps.

Small maps in the game used for the 2v2 Gunfight mode are called Flash Maps.

All guns have variable recoil effects per usual but now, the recoil of the gun is transferred to you, the shooter, and as a result, your head (in-game) gets knocked back to demonstrate that transfer of concussive power from each gunshot.

Developers call their new take on gameplay “Down the Barrel.” They highlighted this by explaining how the physics of shooting a gun now work, which we saw in action when we went hands-on.

We didn’t see anything other than multiplayer but developers told us that whatever happens in multiplayer can transfer to other modes in the game and vice versa

Progression is unified - progression earned in one mode of gameplay will transfer between additional modes.
