Call of Duty: MW3 Drops First Major Update Since Season 6 Launch

Big changes keep coming to MW3.

By Logan Moore

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III has received a new update today across PlayStation, Xbox, and PC. A little under a week ago, Season 6 of MW3 went live and brought with it a ton of new Halloween-themed content. Merely one day after launch, Activision quickly pushed out a successive update for Season 6 that made some small balance tweaks. Now, a much more extensive update for the game has gone live that should further alter the meta in both Multiplayer and Zombies. 

Downloadable now, the latest patch for Call of Duty: MW3 is primarily aimed at fixing various bugs that are present. Outside of these fixes, Activision has also further balanced the DTIR 30-06 and PDSW 528 weapons in some major ways. On the Zombies front, a fair number of alterations have also been made on this patch, but they're all simply tied to further bug fixes rather than gameplay overhauls. 

To get a look at everything that has been changed in this new update today for Call of Duty: MW3, you can view the patch notes in their entirety below.
