The Modern Warfare 4 PC version has its own lead developer this time too, with Beenox taking on the duties.
Activision and Infinity Ward are just weeks away from launching Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4, the final entry in the wildly popular sub-series. Today, the latest developer update gave its full focus towards the PC version, offering details on what's special about it and what players can expect to see at launch.
The Modern Warfare 4 PC version has its own lead developer this time too, with Beenox taking on the duties of "delivering the best experience possible across a wide variety of setups."
Here are some
PC-specific features that Modern Warfare 4 will ship with:
• Optimized Hardware Support: Modern Warfare 4 runs on most hardware while also seamlessly scaling up to crisp graphics and ultra-smooth, high FPS gameplay on higher-end setups. The game automatically configures settings based on your hardware.
• Display Optimization: From 4K to 1440p to 1080p, from standard to Ultrawide, expect support for displays of all shapes and sizes.
• Cutting-Edge Upscaling: Choose from a range of upscaling and frame generation technologies including AMD FSR Redstone, NVIDIA DLSS 4.5, Intel XeSS 3, and Filmic SMAA T2X.
• RICOCHET Anti-Cheat: A Multi-layered Anti-Cheat system combines server-side detections, hardware-based protections such as TPM 2.0 and Secure Boot integration, deep investigations, and legal action to combat the cheating market and keep gameplay fair. In addition to RICOCHET Anti-Cheat, expect account security with 2FA and email verification.
• Sub-frame mouse polling: Increased mouse precision for aiming, in addition to support for a variety of input devices.
Moreover, a new field of view enhancing technology that increases the view near the edges of the monitor while keeping the center unaffected is coming to the PC version. Also included is HDR10+ GAMING support, new graphics settings for tweaking, a built-in benchmarking tool, and shader preloading (on the Xbox PC app) to not waste time compiling them at startup.
Another big change is that players won't have to restart the game when updates happen at boot, meaning they can jump into the title without going through loops of starting up the game like in previous games.
