Activision to Bring Back Red Dot Mini-Map in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III
In an exciting development for hardcore Call of Duty players, it seems that Activision is set to reintroduce the beloved red dot mini-map in the upcoming game, Modern Warfare III. The controversial removal of this feature by developer Infinity Ward for the 2022 game, Modern Warfare II, had sparked outrage among fans.
The news was first leaked by Charlie Intel, a reputable Call of Duty news and leaks site. They posted a screenshot of an anonymous insider confirming the red dots’ presence in Modern Warfare III. This confirmation came as a relief to many players who missed the functionality of the red dot mini-map.
The red dot mini-map, present in the series for over 16 years, was a vital tool for players to locate active shooting opponents. It made it easier for players to track and eliminate their adversaries, especially those not using silencers or subsonic rounds. However, Infinity Ward decided to remove this feature in Modern Warfare II, stating that they didn’t want to punish players for firing their weapons.
The removal of the red dot mini-map, along with the absence of slide canceling, had caused an uproar among dedicated Call of Duty fans. Many accused Infinity Ward of prioritizing casual players over the hardcore community. The decision was met with criticism and disappointment.
Now, with the return of the red dot mini-map in Modern Warfare III, players are hopeful for a more immersive and competitive experience. Charlie Intel expressed their support for this decision on Twitter, stating that the red dots should have never been removed and that Infinity Ward was the only studio to do so.
To get more details about Modern Warfare III, fans can look forward to a worldwide reveal on August 17. Sledgehammer Games, the developer of the game, is expected to provide further information about the highly anticipated release. Modern Warfare III is scheduled to hit stores on November 10.
The reintroduction of the red dot mini-map presents a promising future for Call of Duty players. With Activision and Sledgehammer Games listening to the community’s feedback, it seems that the developers are committed to delivering a game that satisfies both casual and hardcore players alike.
