The latest update for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 has arrived, bringing a host of tweaks and changes to both the main game and Warzone. This new patch addresses several gameplay issues, adjusts weapon stats, and refines map interactions, enhancing the overall player experience.

Overview of Modern Warfare 3

Modern Warfare 3 is the latest installment in the iconic Call of Duty franchise. It serves as a sequel to 2022’s Modern Warfare 2 and reimagines the classic Modern Warfare 3 experience from 2011. This title continues to deliver the fast-paced FPS action the series is known for, introducing new features and significant changes, especially in its Zombies mode, which now features an all-new storyline.

Weapon and Map Adjustments

The new update includes several important adjustments to Modern Warfare 3’s arsenal:

  • STG44 Assault Rifle: Increased the lower left arm damage multiplier from 1.2x to 1.3x, ensuring consistent damage regardless of which arm is hit.
  • RPK Light Machine Gun: Reduced the ammunition gained from a Munitions Box using the JAK Cataclysm Conversion Kit from 60 to 15, a 75% decrease.
  • COR-45 Handgun: Fixed an issue allowing a faster fire rate than intended with the XRK IP-V2 Conversion Kit.

Additionally, the map G3T_H1GH received an update to fix an issue that prevented the Mosquito Drone from targeting enemy players.

Changes to Zombies and CoD Warrior Modes

Modern Warfare 3’s unique Zombies mode has been updated to resolve an issue where the final player to exfil from a match was queued into another match before viewing the After Action Report. The CoD Warrior game mode also saw improvements:

  • Fixed a bug causing players to die immediately during the Revive! mini-game.
  • The Revive! mini-game will no longer occur if the team has fewer than two players.
  • Players downed during the Revive! mini-game will no longer receive inactivity warnings.

Looking Ahead: Black Ops 6

While Modern Warfare 3 continues to evolve, fans are already excited for the next Call of Duty release. Black Ops 6, set to continue the beloved Black Ops series, is expected to bring back several fan-favorite features and modes. Notably, Treyarch is reintroducing round-based maps in Zombies mode, alongside a new dedicated crew. The multiplayer component promises “omnidirectional movement,” marking a significant innovation for the series.
