A new update for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III and Warzone has been released this week. This update comes just a day after the start of Season 1 in both games.
The third part of the reboot of the Modern Warfare saga was released on November 10 to fairly resounding reviews, mostly due to its short and disappointing campaign mode. However, the poor reviews did not prevent Modern Warfare III’s sales from getting off to a strong start, underlining the fact that the series’ long-term success is largely based on the appeal of its multiplayer offerings.
Just hours after the Season 1 updates for Modern Warfare III and Warzone were released, the two games received another pair of patches on December 7. The new updates are mainly aimed at fixing minor bugs and other issues that were introduced in previous versions of the games, although a number of changes aimed at balancing the game have also been added.
Among other things, the December 7 update resolves a terrifying error message that some Modern Warfare III players received after the start of Season 1, indicating that their data was corrupted.
Although the problem was much less than the warning message indicated, it did sometimes cause equipment customization to reset, which annoyed many players. According to the changelog attached to the new patch, the developers have managed to identify and eliminate the cause of the problem in both Modern Warfare III and Warzone.
Another widespread issue addressed with the December 7 patch concerns a rather peculiar bug that prevented players from equipping the XRK Stalker sniper rifle with cannon attachments at its expected weapon level.
In addition, the new update also adds a missing unlock requirement for the ZEHMN35 compensated flame damper. Based on the wording in the changelog, it appears that this muzzle was already unlockable prior to the latest Modern Warfare III and Warzone patch, it’s just that its full requirements had not been clearly communicated until now.
