Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2's beta has changed up visibility to make spotting enemy players easier than before following a series of community complaints.

Developer Infinity Ward has published a complete article detailing all the new changes to the ongoing Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 beta. Chief among the changes were tweaks to player visibility, which Infinity Ward reckons "should make enemy targets easier to spot."

These changes address a massive issue players have had with the beta. Heading over to the Modern Warfare 2 subreddit, you can find a fair few examples of players actively railing against player visibility, before the patch today made adjustments. Here's hoping the changes are enough to win over concerned players. 

Elsewhere in the new Modern Warfare 2 beta patch notes, there's the introduction of two new maps: Sariff Bay and Sa'id. These two maps are actually taken from Call of Duty: Warzone 2's sprawling map of Al Mazrah, which should give you an idea of what to expect from the new battle royale game later this year.
