Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 Patch Highlights: Major Updates And Fixes

Among the notable updates are significant changes to Killstreaks. Players will notice improvements to the Cluster Mine and DNA Bomb, addressing issues that previously hindered gameplay. Additionally, in Warzone, the DG-58 LSW has undergone a substantial nerf, reducing its minimum damage from 27 to 22.

The patch also brings fixes to various aspects of the game. Issues such as the prompt to restart the game after changing one's Activision ID have been resolved. Multiplayer mode has also received attention, with bug fixes addressing placeholder images, exploits with Custom Mods, and improvements to the earn progress HUD widget during Looping Killstreaks modifier.

Mode-specific adjustments have been made to fine-tune gameplay experiences.

One in the Chamber mode has resolved performance issues during the Final Killcam.

Weapon and attachment adjustments are also part of this update. Changes to the Superi 46 Terminal V and Atoll-Z4 Suppressed Barrel Attachments enhance their functionality by hiding operator positions from the mini-map as intended. The RGL-80 has received attention as well, reducing camera shake upon explosive damage dealt to victims.

Gameplay enhancements include Medical Cabinets now dropping Perk Packs, adding a new layer of strategy to gameplay. Precision Airstrikes have been reverted back to their previous functionality prior to Season 4, ensuring consistency and balance.
