As someone who’s spent countless hours navigating the digital battlefields of Modern Warfare II, these updates have certainly caught my attention. On one hand, it seems like a good idea to tone down the long-range capabilities of certain weapons, promoting tactical close combat and encouraging players to make more strategic decisions. However, on the other hand, increasing the damage output of some weapons, especially the X12, could potentially lead to faster-paced matches, which I’m not entirely sure I’m ready for!
Today, an update for “Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III” has been released, introducing a host of balance adjustments across several weapons. As we step into October, Activision is gearing up to market “Call of Duty: Black Ops 6”, set to release soon. Before the new game drops, however, there’s still plenty of life left in “MW3”. The latest update brings significant changes to its Multiplayer mode.
Grabbed the latest update for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 on my PlayStation, Xbox, or PC! This patch is all about fine-tuning the game balance. They’ve tweaked a bunch of shotguns, rifles, handguns, and even a lone battle rifle, with 15 weapons in total getting an adjustment. Some fan-loved guns will now play differently than before. Also, there’s a minor tweak to the Guardian-SC killstreak and they squashed two bugs related to Shipment and Sporeyard maps.
You can view the full patch notes for this new update to Call of Duty: MW3 by reading onward.
