Modern Warfare 4's Beta Falls to Mostly Negative on Steam as Players Rip Spawns and Maps

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4's open beta, free to everyone from August 28 through September 1, has slid to Mostly Negative on Steam, and it lost close to half its Steam concurrent players between the two weekends. Complaints focus on spawn logic, weak maps, time-to-kill, and AI-related grievances. MW4 drops the Black Ops omnimovement system (the omnidirectional dive-and-sprint) for a grounded setup with mantling, climbing, slide-canceling, and a new Supine Slide. Infinity Ward says it is already adjusting spawns and time-to-kill.
