Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 will be released next month. Before that, the devs rolled out the beta to gather more data about the gameplay. Since its launch a few days ago, players have been spending hours trying to unlock all features of the game. While the game’s launching process is being accused of being unnecessarily complicated, a ton of new weapons and loadout options have kept players busy.

Now, fans have taken to social media to request the devs to bring back the vertical loadout UI option in Modern Warfare 3 once again. The recent CoD games all sport horizontal loadout UI and players want a change to the older version for better functionality.

Since Modern Warfare 3 was announced, CoD fans are delighted. The latest entry to the popular mil-sim franchise saw a lot of speculation over the months as to what the new features would be. Now that the beta is out, players are having the time of their lives ahead of its full release. The last few CoD titles all had horizontal loadout UI, which was often criticized for making things difficult to navigate.

Many also hold the opinion that the horizontal UI comes from the devs’ focus on mobile gaming. While there are fans of the horizontal UI, the majority of the community would prefer to go back to the vertical display. Players believe making the point heard during the beta testing process would help the devs to take notice of the community’s needs and change things with the full launch of the game.

This fan thinks the uproar that can be caused by the original post should prompt it to be deleted. The fan believes the CoD UI team can’t handle the community’s needs.

The brilliance of a UI lies in its simplicity. This fan thinks a mobile-oriented UI makes things much harder during the loadout selection process.
