Modern Warfare 4 Details Its Launch Maps and a Reworked Movement System

Alongside the Warzone reveal, Xbox Wire on August 21 broke down Modern Warfare 4's core 6v6 multiplayer: its launch map list and a reworked movement system tuned for the beta running August 21 to 25. Developers walked through map design and traversal changes players can test this weekend, ahead of the full game's October 23 launch. DMZ, the returning extraction mode, ships with that launch too.
