Modern Warfarehas experienced some bugssince launch, but community feedback surrounding the game has remained largely positive, or at least as positive as one could hope to get with one of gaming’s largest franchises. Still, community events like double XP are a great way for Infinity Ward to ensure a strong, engaged player base.
Infinity Ward has continuously tweaked balancing sinceModern Warfarelaunched, leading to entirely newweapon tier listsas the game has evolved and changed. Some criticized the slower pace ofModern Warfare’sgameplay when it first launched, though Infinity Ward has introduced, or re-introduced, smaller and faster pace maps since then, leading to a relatively strong balance of maps.
That’s led to an impressive spread of content within the game, especially considering the addition ofWarzone. The nextCall of Dutyhas reportedly suffered from rocky development troubles, so players may be going back toModern Warfarefor some time.
Regardless, double XP should be a great way to kill a weekend for those looking for something to pass the time.

One can h0pe that there’s more in the pipeline as far as games are concerned, but only time will tell.
