What happened

Activision has begun a campaign to reassure fans about Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4's single-player experience. The company is responding to criticism of Black Ops 7's campaign mode, which was widely panned. The publisher has released details about the game's beta test, including launch dates and content.

A first look at the new Zodiac map for Warzone has also been shared. Meanwhile, Electronic Arts is promoting its own upcoming release, Battlefield 6, with a behind-the-scenes look at its Top Gun collaboration. Kotaku's coverage stands out for its direct comparison of Modern Warfare 4's campaign to Black Ops 7's.

The outlet's report is the only one to mention Activision's efforts to distance the upcoming game from the poorly received campaign of its predecessor.
