In Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, numerous changes were made to the game with update 1.13, but not all of them were communicated. A hidden adjustment on the popular map Crash now makes it fairer.
What is the change on Crash about? Recently, the Modern Warfare update 1.13 was released. Among other things, it included the new weapon crossbow, a potential hint at the return of a cult character, and numerous changes and bug fixes.
However, there was also a change for the popular multiplayer map Crash, which came into the game with the Season 1. At first glance, this may have escaped many players. The change is indeed very small and was not communicated in the patch notes. However, this small secret adjustment now ensures more fairness on the cult map.
What exactly has changed now? Basically, not much. Only the height of a specific crate at the southern end of the map has been modified.
This position was frequently used to oversee a heavily trafficked area of the map near the crash site with the helicopter wreck.
Here is a before-after comparison:
This small change leads to more fairness: This small change has significant impacts on the gameplay of the map. It fixes a popular but unfair hiding spot. This position had previously been favored for a specific reason – it is known as a Head Glitch Safe Spot.
Due to the previous height of the crate, only a small part of the head was visible from the other side. If one was on the crate, one could easily shoot at anything in the line of sight from a safe cover. However, one could hardly be hit, as very little of one’s character was visible. Often, it was only visible via the kill cam who or what got one there.
Now, it has changed. While it is still a good position to oversee the crash site, if one is now on the crate, much more of one’s character is visible. Therefore, there is now a chance to take down the enemy on the crate with some precise shots. This was hardly possible before. Therefore, things are significantly fairer on Crash now.
Other hidden changes that were made to the game: This was not the only change that came with update 1.13, but was not communicated by the developers. You can find out more here: CoD MW: 5 changes from update 1.13 that were not in the patch notes
