Update 1.07 for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare is coming, and the patch notes are causing a lot of excitement. Claymores and the 725 shotgun will be nerfed after much criticism.
What will be addressed? The patch tackles almost all major complaints from the last few days. Claymores and various weapons will be nerfed. Additionally, the Spec Ops mode, plagued by many bugs, will receive some improvements.
The fans are already celebrating the update because it shows that the developers have listened closely to the criticism and are now trying to implement the community’s wishes.
The main information from the patch notes
Overview of the biggest changes: First, we will show you the most important adjustments in summary. We will go into more detail later in the article:
- Claymores are no longer as deadly, and the damage radius has been adjusted
- Footsteps have now been slightly adjusted, but another patch will make them even quieter
- The 725 shotgun now deals less damage at long range
- The assault rifle M4A1 now has more recoil and a reduced damage range
- Various adjustments in the Spec Ops mode
This is how the Claymores are adjusted: Complaints were made that Claymores are always deadly and have a much too large radius.
This has now been adjusted. If you have full health and shoot the Claymores, they are no longer deadly. Additionally, the radius where you can trigger the Claymores and the damage radius have been reduced.
Changes to footsteps: Adjustments have been made that slightly dampen the sound of footsteps, but Infinity Ward also announced that an upcoming patch will further change this and make the footsteps significantly quieter.
This will please many fans, as it has often been criticized that one cannot move quietly. You would be heard everywhere.
Various adjustments to weapons: The biggest highlight here is probably the nerf for the 725 shotgun. It was almost regarded as a sniper rifle and is now being adjusted.
At long distances, the shotgun no longer deals as much damage. The kills, that even streamers like DrDisrespect were upset about, are likely to be history.
Alongside the shotgun, the M4A1 assault rifle was also criticized. It has now been nerfed as well. It has a stronger recoil and the damage range has been reduced.
In addition to these weapons, there were further adjustments to firearms. This affects, among others, the PKM and the UZI SMG.
This annoying bug is to be fixed: Lastly, a bug emerged in the “Search & Destroy” mode that caused the opposing team to see when you defused the bomb. This bug has now been addressed and should be fixed.
This is changing in Spec Ops: This mode will receive adjustments in many areas. Various bugs ruined the mode for numerous players, which will hopefully change now.
Among other things, XP adjustments and various bug fixes have been announced.
A detailed overview of all changes to this mode, as well as all nerfs and buffs to the weapons, can be found in the patch notes on reddit.
These are new maps: In addition to the patch notes, new maps for Modern Warfare have also been announced. All information can be found here:
