Call of Duty Modern Warfare developer Infinity Ward has dropped another major update for the PS4, Xbox One and PC first-person shooter. Despite only launching a few weeks ago, Modern Warfare fans have had to download countless updates to improve the overall performance of the game and tweak how weapons are balanced. The latest update – which can be downloaded now – is accompanied by a huge list of patch notes, covering everything from new star ratings to fixes for spawning issues on certain maps and levels.
Call of Duty Modern Warfare will be especially pleased to find out that Harbinger and Brimstone have joined Special Operations, while a new three star rating system gives players access to XP and multiplayer unlocks based on factors like time completed.
