Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 - In the Crosshairs of Updates

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 - The Evolution Continues

If you think "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3" is just another shooter, you're mistaken. With its second beta weekend behind us, this game is ready to exceed expectations. There are some interesting changes, especially with the "Striker" weapon, new maps and modes, and an increased level cap.

Weapon Balance - The "Striker" Gets an Update

The development team hasn't just focused on adding new maps and modes, but also on fine-tuning the weapons. One notable change is the adjustment to the "Striker". The submachine gun, which is the first weapon you receive in the game, has received a damage reduction. But don't worry, to ensure it remains useful, some multiplier enhancements have also been made.

Beyond the Game - Changes to Modes and Maps

But it's not just the weapons that have received an overhaul. There have also been some adjustments to game modes and maps based on player feedback. The development team has investigated reports of poor spawn selection quality and made corresponding adjustments. Additionally, collision points have been added to prevent players from reaching unintended areas.

New Features on the Horizon

But there's more to discover! This weekend, two new maps - "Highrise" and "Orlov Military Base" - will be added to the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 selection. There's also a new game mode called "Cutthroat" and a familiar mode called "Search and Destroy" for you to look forward to.

The Details - What has changed?

You can find the full details of the beta changes and detailed patch notes on the official Call of Duty website. But we've also summarized the highlights for you here:

  • Movement: The delay from sliding to sprinting has been reduced by 200 ms.
  • Weapons: The spread in tactical mode while sliding has been reduced for multiple weapon classes. The "Striker" has received damage reduction and multiplier increases.
  • Killstreaks: The Guardian SC has received reductions in health and lifespan.
  • Modes: In "Ground War" mode, player-driven vehicles no longer have limited fuel. In "Hardpoint," the overhead spawn camera sequence has been disabled during respawn.
  • Maps: Collision points have been added to "Estate" and "Popov Power (Ground War)" to prevent players from reaching unintended areas.

With these changes and additions, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 is ready to captivate you. So what are you waiting for? Grab your Steam Key and dive into the action!
