The new patch comes after Call of Duty 's recent introduction of Season 2 . The major update introduced plenty of new features to Modern Warfare 3 Multiplayer, such as new maps, game modes, weapons, and more. Warzone also received a new map in the returning Fortune's Keep, a new game mode in Ranked Resurgence, and the same new weapons that Modern Warfare 3 received. While Call of Duty 's next major update is presumably about a month away, which will be a Season 2 Reloaded patch, Call of Duty just released its newest minor upd
In an official update released on February 21 , Activision admitted that the team manning the RICOCHET Anti-Cheat system had received over 6,000 reports of cheating incidents from February 16 to 20. This was because someone had mistakenly claimed that RICOCHET was offline, spurring cheaters to attempt using exploits. As a result, the developer not only tracked and banned these thousands of players, but it's also now testing new security updates. So far, the team's only concrete update was to disable game code for limited-time perks, but it's also said players should expect more announcements on the
Following the Emblem Editor is the Paint Shop , a mechanic that made its debut in the widely beloved Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 . The Paint Shop functioned similarly to the Emblem Editor from Black Ops 2 , but this time, it allowed players to create custom paint jobs for their weapons. While the feature was somewhat niche in Black Ops 3 , and players couldn't apply paint jobs to the entirety of their weapons, it was still a nice addition that allowed players deeper control over their weapon personalizat
Call of Duty 's Season 2 roadmap revealed that a mid-season update will see Modern Warfare 3 receive the Das Haus map, new variants of Terminal and Skidrow, the Bounty game mode, and the Juggermosh LTM. Warzone will receive the PDS field upgrade, the Research Vessel POI for Fortune's Keep, <a href="https://Purematrimony.com/pap_affiliate/scripts/click.php?a_aid=TMN2015&a_bid=40b947e2&desturl=https://Fpsrealm.xyz">Purematrimony.com</a>; and the Bunker Buster killstreak. Both games will also receive the SOA Subverter battle rifle and Soulrender melee weapon. Call of Duty has yet to confirm a date for the Season 2 Reloaded upd
Besides the Anti-Cheat update, the February 21 patch for Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone included changes to various gameplay abilities. In Warzone , the size of the effective area for the popular Advanced UAV ability was increased, putting the entire map in view for the player using it. Shock Sticks were also made into effective counters for more equipment-based Field Upgrades, increasing their utility. The Warzone changes also included adjustments to Skill Rating (SR) gain, changing who can receive Kill & Assist Credit when eliminating other players. The change was made to ensure the "competitive integrity" of Skill Rating gain and prevent players from inflating their SR gains by "tapping" downed enem

Like more hardcore extraction shooters like Escape from Tarkov , DMZ incorporates similar mechanics like seasonal wipes and mission resets , but also more original features like the concept of insured weapons —customizable guns that remain accessible unless they go on cooldown after being lost in combat. Despite its more casual approach, the mode was pretty popular, attracting a niche playerbase that enjoyed completing challenges or engaging in epic PvP encounters more thrilling than those in Warzone Battle Roy
There are a few ways players can increase their XP earn rate. Instead of using a standard Operator, fans can equip the Cyber Cat, Kabuto, Miryou, or Mikan Endo skins from the Call of Duty store (costing $20 per bundle ). Equipping one of the skins grants players an XP boost, which will allow them to earn the Cat-Girl Smile camo as fast as possi
Like many other games in the multiplayer franchise, as well as other FPS titles in gaming history, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone have a long history of players going to great lengths to cheat to win. Less-skilled players would rather use exploits and cheating software to get an advantage over more competitive gamers, a phenomenon that always ends up ruining the experience for many people. For its part, Activision has tried over the years to implement anti-cheating measures, but enterprising cheaters have always found ways to get thro
Black Ops Cold War and Black Ops 6 are both excellent spy-thrillers when it comes to their campaigns, but Call of Duty: Black Ops is what started it all. Among Call of Duty campaigns, Black Ops is often held in high regard, immersing players in the Vietnam and Cold Wars before unraveling a deeper story filled with dark secrets, mind control, and psychological twists never before seen in the franchise. If Black Ops were to receive a remaster, its campaign alone could be a major selling po
