Call of Duty: MW3 Gets First New Update Since Season 5 Release, Patch Notes Revealed

New changes to CoD: MW3 have hit multiplayer and Zombies.

By Logan Moore

Activision has today released the first new update for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III following the start of Season 5 a little under a week ago. With the arrival of Season 5, MW3 has seen a ton of new cosmetics, maps, and modes come to its multiplayer and Zombies game modes. Now, Activision is looking to fine-tune some of these new additions with some slight tweaks that should make for a better overall experience. 

Downloadable now across PlayStation, Xbox, and PC, the newest patch for Call of Duty: MW3 isn't a massive one by any means. For the most part, this update is aimed at balance changes for the RAM-9, COR-45, and TYR weapons in addition to fixing some bugs tied to the UI. Other than this, the Zombies aspect of MW3 has only received one lone improvement associated with stability, which means virtually nothing has changed. 

To get a full look at everything that this new update for Call of Duty: MW3 does, you can view the patch notes below.
