Infinity Ward has shared a list of changes to Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2’s multiplayer ahead of tomorrow’s release. The changes were made in response to feedback from the beta.
The biggest change is the addition of diamond icons above enemy heads to increase visibility.
In the beta, there was no indicator to differentiate between friendly and enemy players. This was traditionally achieved through name tags in previous games, but Infinity Ward took the design decision to remove them, seemingly to add to realism. Players didn’t take kindly to the change and called for the return of name tags. Diamond icons are therefore a compromise between good enemy visibility and realism.
