Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III Receives Score and Mapping Updates in Latest Patch

The latest update to hit Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III has introduced several significant alterations to the game's mechanics and features, enhancing the player's experience. As of November 15, a pivotal change has been made in Team Deathmatch mode, with the score limit now expanded from 75 to a more robust 100.

In an effort to improve the multiplayer gameplay, a long-standing issue with the minimap has been rectified, which now accurately indicates the vertical position of adversaries, distinguishing whether they are positioned above or below players. This fix comes as a relief to the gaming community who encountered this glitch following the game's release on November 10.

The update also addresses visual disturbances, such as a previously encountered problem where titles on the Call of Duty HQ home screen would fail to display. For those deep into the campaign mode, Activision has ensured that players will now receive completion rewards even if they exit the game while the end credits roll, a much-appreciated fix by the players.

Excitingly, Activision has teased the imminent arrival of an "experimental playlist" in Modern Warfare III, which will incorporate enemy player outlines. This upcoming feature is expected to grant players better visibility of their opponents, with more details to be shared soon.

Despite intentions to include updates for player movement, weapon-balance changes, and improving Zombies in this update, Activision reported they encountered "unforeseen issues," prompting a delay in these enhancements.

Weapon-balance adjustments, however, have made it into the update. A selection of weapons, including the MCW, BAS-B, MTZ, Renetti, and TYR,, have seen an improvement in their hipfire control during sustained fire, allowing for more precision in frantic combat scenarios.

The full patch notes, as released on Activision's website, also highlight various other technical improvements and bug fixes across different aspects of the game, including stability and performance updates, particularly for PC players with NVIDIA GeForce RTX 40 Series GPUs, who can now utilize DLSS 3 for an optimized gaming experience. Campaign and multiplayer aspects received considerable attention to stability, UIX bugs, progression, maps, and gameplay.

Moreover, the patch corrects issues related to player progression, map-specific glitches, and the functioning of in-game mechanics and features. Notably, cosmetic adjustments have been made, such as ensuring the correct audio plays for the gun screen preview and fixing a visual issue with the Tracer Pack: Hellsing Operator Bundle.

In the Zombies mode, the auto-queueing of missions in Act 2 has been addressed alongside various stability and map fixes. These comprehensive adjustments, reflections of ongoing user feedback, promise to refine the gaming experience considerably, keeping players engaged and the Call of Duty community active and excited for the ongoing improvements and features anticipated in future updates.
