Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, the reboot of Infinity Ward’s highly acclaimed game released in 2007, won’t be chasing balance at all costs in multiplayer. In fact, in an interview published on the latest PlayStation Official Magazine (October 2019, Issue 166), Infinity Ward’s Multiplayer Design Director Geoffrey Smith said the developers are mostly interested in just making Modern Warfare fun to play.

I think somewhere along the lines these games have tried to get so balanced, maybe it was eSports, it’s kind of just boiled the fun out of the things when you try to super-balance everything. We’re just having fun. We want to just be able to climb around and have fun interactions.
