Farm 18is a military facility set inside an abandoned cement factory.
Mercado Las Almasis a small marketplace with fast-paced routes.
The matches play quickly and chaotically, especially near the marketplace center.
I also appreciate the vibrancy of this map.
One Ground War map called Sarrif Bay will be available sometimes during the open beta.
More impressions to come with Ground War’s integration into the beta.
Additionally, the beta lets players test out new modes called Prisoner Rescue and Knockout.
Knockout is a mode Infinity Ward described as Gunfight meets core multiplayer.
It typically comes down to whether you want to pick the mode with the cash bag or the hostages.
You had to really play your life and earn better gear to be successful.
This is definitely something that will be better utilized in the large-scale Ground War modes and even Warzone 2.0.
Perks now come in “packs” of four.
Field Upgrades return with staple options like Munitions and Dead Silence.
Footstep audio is loud, but it does sound slightly quieter than Modern Warfare’s.
There’s also a new Inflatable Decoy used as a Field Upgrade.
This lets players deploy an inflatable soldier meant to confuse the enemy team.
I think it’s worth jumping into the beta to find out.
I’m playing the beta on PlayStation 5 and the performance has been great so far.
