The second episode of Call of Duty’s new Modern Warfare 4 docu-series gives an insider look at Infinity Ward’s development of the game’s multiplayer, and the developer shows off gameplay on an ambitious new map that constantly changes in design.
Midway through the video, Studio MP Creative Director Geoff Smith talks about taking Call of Duty’s map designs to the “next level” and the creation of the game’s Kill Block multiplayer map.
“Like how can you keep coming up with map designs and layouts?” Smith asked while discussing map design. “What if we just made one that was living and it keeps changing every time you play it?”
Modern Warfare 4’s Kill Block is a map that consists of three “slabs” that are all modular pieces that can be swapped out and connected with other pieces in various different ways. The map will change every match, with the three slabs being randomly decided before a game.
