What happened

Insider Gaming first established that the Modern Warfare 4 beta will function without the Call of Duty HQ hub. Following this, Tech Times identified a break in tradition regarding campaign missions and the naming of a Korean squad. Forbes expanded the conversation by detailing the specific start times and access methods required for the closed beta, while IGN confirmed the integration of the controversial matchmaking system previously utilized in Black Ops 7.

DualShockers adds that update restarts have been removed for some users, though the outlet clarifies this feature does not apply to everyone. This creates a technical divide in the user experience that is not yet fully detailed in the current coverage. Players gain access through early codes, while the developers maintain the established matchmaking framework.

Coverage does not yet specify which player groups are excluded from the new update restart protocols, nor does it detail the specific criteria for receiving the aforementioned beta codes.
