Where it stands

Activision opened the Modern Warfare 4 open beta for its second weekend, a rollout first announced on the franchise’s official site. Later that day Cleveland.com reported that a patch introduced a new map and an “Inflation” mode, while IGN noted an unplanned update was pushed to incorporate fan feedback gathered during the beta. Nintendo.com simply urged players to join the weekend play.

The beta now runs with the added map and mode after the reactive patch. Players stand to gain a smoother experience, while Activision seeks to protect the franchise’s sales momentum by responding quickly to community concerns. IGN notes the reactive patch signals a willingness to adapt the game before its full release.

The beta continues with the new content active, allowing participants to test the Inflation mode and the fresh map ahead of the final launch.
