Modern Warfare 4 Beta: Infinity Ward Confirms SMG Buffs and Aim Assist Changes

Infinity Ward listened. After the Modern Warfare 4 Open Beta, they're making moves.

SMGs are getting buffed. Players complained the weapon class felt weak. Infinity Ward agrees. Expect faster handling or better damage. Details are still coming.

Aim assist is getting tuned too. This one's controversial. Some players felt it was too strong. Others said it wasn't enough. Finding the balance is tricky. Infinity Ward says they're reworking how it feels.

Spawns are also on the list. Bad spawns kill momentum. Nobody wants to respawn in front of an enemy. The team is addressing it.

Time-to-kill feedback was mixed. Some want faster TTK. Some want slower. Infinity Ward is reviewing the data.

The Open Beta ran over two weekends. Early Access came first. Then the full Open Beta opened to everyone.

These changes won't all drop at once. But Infinity Ward is being transparent about what's coming. That's a good sign for launch.

Modern Warfare 4 is shaping up. The beta had issues. Every beta does. What matters is how the devs respond. So far, they're responding.
