Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 reveals new modes and PC specs

Activision and Infinity Ward have released extensive technical details and gameplay features for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4, ahead of its October 23 release.

A major gameplay update includes the introduction of “Collateral,” a new multiplayer mode inspired by tactical shooters like Counter-Strike and Valorant. This mode features an in-game economy where players earn money through kills and round wins to purchase weapons and equipment, while disabling traditional loadouts and killstreaks. Additionally, the developers are addressing long-standing player frustrations by changing how Double XP tokens function; timers will now only count down during active matches rather than in menus or lobbies.

For PC players, the game will support a wide range of hardware, from older systems to high-end machines. Technical features include support for 4K and ultrawide resolutions, as well as various upscaling technologies such as NVIDIA DLSS 4.5, AMD FSR Redstone, and Intel XeSS 3. The PC version also features the RICOCHET anti-cheat system, utilizing TPM 2.0 and Secure Boot for enhanced security.

System requirements vary by performance tier. Minimum specs include an AMD Ryzen 5 1400 or Intel Core i5-6600 and 8GB of RAM. Recommended settings for 90 FPS target an AMD Ryzen 5 3600 or Intel Core i7-8700K with 16GB of RAM. For high-quality ray tracing at 4K, the game requires an AMD Ryzen 7 3700X or Intel Core i7-10700K and up to 32GB of RAM.
