Infinity Ward's Joe Cecot and Jacky Reynolds discuss the Modern Warfare 4 beta's new matchmaking system borrowed from Black Ops 7, the first-ever campaign mission included in a Call of Duty beta, and how player feedback will shape the final launch. The developers emphasize data-driven iteration and cross-mode cohesion.
Insight Editions' Call of Duty Black Ops Zombies: The Art of Treyarch released on August 11 and quickly climbed to #2 on Amazon's comic charts behind Absolute Batman. The art book includes behind-the-scenes anecdotes, developer interviews, never-before-seen artwork, and a bonus calling card for Black Ops 7, all available at a 7% launch discount.
Activision confirmed that Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4's upcoming beta will feature low-SBMM playlists, building on positive player response to Black Ops 7's open moshpit mode. The beta begins August 21, though Game Pass subscribers will not receive early access this time around.
