Summary

This isn’t the most wholesale patch of all time. Players have been calling out for more loadout options for a while which is a nice touch. The new ‘one-shot-one-kill’ crossbow will get people excited to try something different.

But generally, this just feels like a tidying update, fixing lots of little issues that needed ironing out. Whilst less glamorous, these are the kind of updates that maintain the integrity and quality of the game – so we are all for it.

One point worth making is the line “Fixed a bug that could give players invincibility“, this could explain so much! I can tell you now, I never got the benefit of this!

That said, the patch didn’t go completely smoothly with lots of people reporting corruption issues and ranks being reset. Infinity Ward are still resolving all these but it looks under control.
