Call of Duty Modern Warfare minimap is enabling in Open Beta after an outrage from fans

Call of Duty Modern Warfare Open Beta will go live on September 14, 2019. Day three of COD Modern Warfare beta is bringing a range of content to the game. Infinity Ward has shared a complete list of maps, modes, and playlists that will be featured in Open Beta for PS4 users.

We will discuss the content of day three, later in the article. But first, let’s talk about the controversial ‘minimap.’ Earlier on day one, huge talks were happening within the fans regarding the absence of minimap from Call of Duty Modern Warfare.

The sudden outrage from the community made Infinity Ward to address this issue on the very first day of the beta launch. There is a mixed reaction within the community regarding the removal of the minimap. Some players are finding it good, while others think it should not have been removed and should be made permanent for the game. While addressing the issue, Infinity Ward responded in the following manner.

Okay….let’s talk about minimap.

We hear you loud and clear. Along with your feedback and the data we’re continuously collecting, we’ll be experimenting internally with a few different options and will keep you updated if we make any changes that you might see during the Beta. This is an ongoing conversation with all of you, so again, thank you so much for sharing your thoughts on this topic and we’ll update you again when we have more information to share.

So, after two days of outrage from the community. Infinity Ward has decided to enable the minimap for day three of Call of Duty Modern Warfare Open Beta. However, the minimap will be turned on as part of the experiment but will not display enemy fire.

Well, it will be interesting to see how things will shape in the coming few days. But for now, it seems like Infinity Ward does not want the community to get angry about the missing ‘minimap.’ We will have to wait and see how Xbox One and PC users will react to this minimap controversy when the Beta gets live for them next week.

For a quick refresher, let us check out the content that will be added for day three of Open Beta. The level cap will be increased to Level 20 for day three.

Level Cap: Will be increased to 20
Minimap: Minimap will be turned on as part of the experiment but will not display enemy fire
