The open beta and early access dates of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, which is expected to be released on October 28, have been announced. In addition, a new map to be added to the series with the game was also announced. The new map will take place on the Marina Bay circuit, where the Formula 1 Singapore GP is held, and will bear the name ‘Marina Bay’.
The first trailer of Modern Warfare 2, which has contributed a lot in terms of both storytelling and mechanics and is defined as one of the best story FPS games to date, was shared in the past months. Today, a video from the game’s new map was shared.
Players are asked to experience the same action all over the map
Infinity Ward, the team behind Modern Warfare 2, shared the video of the interview with the makers of the map, explaining the new map coming to the game. The map, called Farm 18, was inspired by the Shoothouse map in Modern Warefare 2019.
Geoff Smith, director of multiplayer map design in Modern Warfare 2, stated that the main idea on the map is to enable players to enjoy the action both in the center of the map and in other parts of the map if they reveal a Shoothouse type map. however, he later changed his mind and announced that they had decided to spend it in a cement factory.
Ashly Thundercliffe, senior environment designer at Infinity Ward, explained in an interview with environmental design that it’s all about trying to find the “perfect fit” that will give players a map that is a “beautiful, realistic space” while also providing a fun space for players to enjoy.
