The second weekend of the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 multiplayer beta is live, and Activision has released patch notes to detail the updates made from last week’s early access beta on PlayStation. The major changes include an improvement to player visibility, weapon balancing, and an increased level cap.
Week two keeps all the maps and modes from the first week of the beta, but it adds Highrise to the standard map list and the new Orlov Military Base map for Ground War. Search and Destroy is added to the rotation of game modes, and it also introduces the new Cutthroat multi-team mode. The level cap is raised from 20 to 30 for this second and final weekend.
One of our biggest issues with week one of Modern Warfare 3’s beta was player visibility. Thankfully, the October 12 patch notes detail a major change to visibility, as enemy operators will now display a red nameplate above their head.
