Changes in Modern Warfare with Update 1.15 – The Patch Notes
Here we summarize the most important changes and innovations from the latest Modern Warfare update.
New Map, Modes, and Playlists
New Map: For the Gunfight mode, there is now the new map Bazaar, which has been added to the rotation. The map takes place in a tight and winding market in Urzikstan, features 3 lanes along with different height levels, and is the 2nd new map for Gunfight in Season 2 after Rust.
New Playlists and Modes:
- You can now play 3vs3 Gunfight in a dedicated playlist only on the map Rust and only with snipers.
- Thanks to the new playlist “Thick, Old Houseboat”, you can now play through 3 of the most popular maps from Modern Warfare in various modes. Rust, Shipment, and Shoot House rotate here.
- With “Grounded Ground War”, there is now an alternative version of the large-scale Ground War mode. While large battles can still be fought here, tanks are not included. The focus is on infantry and small, fast vehicles. Additionally, Realism Rules are active.
- With “Massive Infection”, the popular Infection mode can now be played in a larger format on Aniyah Palace, a Ground War map.
