Accessibility Update – New Features in Modern Warfare III
Call of Duty®: Modern Warfare® III features many accessibility options for players to customize their experience, no matter the mode they jump into. Familiar options return, such as controller customizations, and graphical adjustments like reducing world and weapon motion blur; Modern Warfare III also introduces a new slate of accessibility options for players to explore, more details available on our blog.
SETTINGS MENU UPDATE
Players can preview changes made in-game before saving global settings. Settings are now tagged to better identify specific features, such as tags for settings related to motor, vision, audio, and cognitive adjustments that can be made. These tags may also be filtered, so they are easier to find.
Major updates to controller settings in Modern Warfare III provide more detail for players looking to customize their inputs, and are better reflected in the menu to give our community a visual preview of how these changes will impact on their controls. For example, the deadzone inputs menu now highlights an approximation of how left and right thumb sticks will react to tweaking with a visual preview of any adjustments made.
With deadzone input tweaks, Call of Duty fans – including any within the community with motor disabilities – may fine tune how much motor effort and control they have for a more comfortable experience.
Over 40% of players customized Deadzone Inputs in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II. The aim of a visual representation of changes within the Settings Menu for Modern Warfare III is to provide more feedback for players looking to tweak their experience.
HIGH CONTRAST
Turning on high contrast mode allows players with vision impairment or color blindness to see their allies and enemies more clearly. This mode outlines allies in blue-green and enemies in red and adjusts in real-time.
NEW ACCESSIBILITY PRESENT – MOTOR
Modern Warfare III offers a new accessibility preset called “Low Motor Strain” to reduce the physical effort required when playing. With this preset on, fewer button presses or holds are required, and sensitivity is increased.
This preset joins existing presets which include simplified controls, audio/visual support, visual support, and motion reduction, making it faster for anyone who needs accessibility features to jump into the game.
