Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 har bekräftats innehålla generativ AI

Last week, a new game in the Call of Duty series - Modern Warfare 4, developed by Infinity Ward studio— was officially presented. Along with this, the debut trailer was shown, and details of the plot, gameplay, and multiplayer were revealed.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 is already available for pre-order, and thanks to the game's page on Steam, players have been able to discover that Infinity Ward used generative AI in the development of the game. The exact quote reads:

The developers describe how their game uses AI Generated Content like this:

Our team uses generative AI tools to help develop some in-game assets.

Fans reacted ambiguously to this news. The previous installment of the franchise, Call of Duty: Black Ops 7, faced harsh criticism for using low-quality AI, and players fear that the situation will not be corrected in Modern Warfare 4. Nevertheless, it is still unclear exactly how Infinity Ward is using generative AI; an official comment may be given soon.

Recent comments from the developers inspire confidence that Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 will be a worthy product. According to one of the developers, the studio intends to return the franchise to its roots, and 90% of the trailer, it is noted, was captured on the real game engine rather than being cinematic scenes.

The story of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 focuses on Private Park, who finds himself at the center of the events of North Korea's full-scale invasion of the South. Captain Price will also appear in the game but will act as the creator of an unsanctioned alliance, working separately from Task Force 141 and official authorities.

Another important point is the return of the DMZ mode, which had been rumored earlier. The developers promise to significantly improve the game mode, creating a living world - with dynamic weather changes and enemies with improved AI—and it is suggested that each round in DMZ will not be like the previous one.
