Infinity Ward has been supporting Modern Warfare with patches to mix things up for a while now. The most recent of these patches went live yesterday.
The Modern Warfare patch released on March 3 focuses heavily on playlist changes and bug fixes. Some weapons have also been tweaked. Speaking of Playlist changes, Dirty Old House Boat is now replaced with Shoot the Ship 24/7, Giant Infection has been removed, and a new 1v1 Me Bro game mode has been added. “1v1 Me Bro” can be played on all Gunfight maps and will have always-on UAV. 3v3 Gunfight now replaces 3v3 Sniper only Gunfight.
A new attachment for the Uzi (.41 AR Caliber Charge and Pro Barrel) can now be unlocked by doing challenges. Close and mid-range damage for AK 5.45x39mm round mags is increased and recoil for SA87 12.4 Factory Barrel is reduced.
You can read all the changes below or on the official site.
