Gameplay

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 is a first-person shooter video game. It comprises three main game modes: a single-player campaign mode; a competitive multiplayer component; and the extraction shooter mode "DMZ", returning from Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II (2022). Modern Warfare 4's campaign primarily focuses on a war between North and South Korea; in addition, missions also take place in various locations such as New York, Paris, and Mumbai. The multiplayer mode features 12 core 6v6 maps at launch, accompanied by returning game modes such as "Gunfight" with a dedicated map pool, and "Big War" featuring large-scale maps. A new map, "Kill Block", features dynamic layouts that constantly change as the match progresses, with over 500 different possible configurations. One of the major changes to the gameplay system is the removal of hipfire bloom, a mechanic that penalizes players by reducing accuracy of shots when firing their weapons from the hip. Updates to the movement system include the ability to hang and shimmy along edges and pipes. In DMZ, 20 squads of up to three players deploy into a large-scale map, dubbed the "exclusion zone", where they scavenge for loot and complete objectives before attempting to exfiltrate. Players can pursue story missions, which are a set of narrative-focused tasks; Dynamic Operations, which are randomly-generated objectives that differ each match; or simply freely roam the map. While exploring, players can encounter and fight against hostile NPCs as well as other players. Killing other players results in the player's notoriety level increasing, marking their presence on the map for other players to find. A new feature in DMZ is the Forward Operating Base (FOB), an in-game hub where players prepare their gear before deployment, including setting up their loadouts, crafting items and interacting with vendors. Players can also gain permanent progression for their Operators via individual "trait trees", granting skills and bonuses that cater to specific play styles. Additionally, the playable map features dynamic weather effects, such as rain and snow, which intensify as the match progresses.
