PSA: Ground War Is Now Live in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, Check Out the Patch Notes

Infinity Ward has added Ground War and Free for All modes to Call of Duty: Modern Warfare just in time for the launch weekend. Those who are jumping in for the first time will also have to download an update that fixes a number of bugs and issues, including the game crashing on all platforms.

• Call of Duty: Modern Warfare is available for purchase now

Patch notes for all the updates released so far are as follows:

1.03

GENERAL FIXES

• Spawning in Core Multiplayer:
  • Fixed edge case scenarios with spawning on enemies
  • Adjusted spawn logic to improve spawn quality. We’ve also added more spawns to increase your options. We will continue to improve this map by map post-launch
• Ground War:
  • Added more fallback spawns to FOBs if the flag has too many enemies
  • Improved safety checking for spawning on Squadmates (is still dangerous, but the UI will notify you of this!)
  • Added spawning on Squadmates while in vehicles
  • Neutral tanks and helicopters now show up in the Spawn Selection screen
  • Helicopters now have flares to help manage incoming missiles
  • If all flags are captured by one team, you’ll go into Defcon to win so protect those flags!
  • Fix for an exploit that was allowing players (and therefore teammates) to spawn under the map
• Lighting:
  • Brightened characters in dark areas across many maps
• Low Health Visuals:
  • Now brightens up in the middle of the screen instead of darkening
• Weapon Balance:
  • In general, weapons received a lot of love since the Beta. Most notably shotguns and pistols.
• Equipment:
  • Enemy claymores now have larger, visible lasers
  • Reviving a teammate near a friendly claymore could cause the claymore to explode, resulting in a suicide
• Mini-Map:
  • Now on by default across core multiplayer and Ground War. Enemy firing does not show up on the mini-map unless a team UAV is active
  • Map zoom is pulled out a bit to help with player awareness
• Killstreaks:
  • VTOL Jet adjusted to not target players though rooftops
  • Fix for the Juggernaut Suit not spawning out of a crate. Another fix was deployed to prevent the mask from staying on the player after you have died as the Juggernaut and respawned
  • After using the Cruise Missile, player character models were sometimes stuck in a lean after using the streak
• Munitions Box:
  • Activated by using a prompt instead of proximity
  • Reduced the explosion radius of the box
• Trophy System:
  • Applied the Snapshot effect to the owner of any Snapshot grenades
• Recon Drone:
  • All players in vehicles are now markable
• Screen tearing on character and weapon models on Xbox
• Impact damage of lethals/tacticals and the ammo box were causing instant kills
• Adjustments to the descriptions in Gunsmith
• Fix for a bug where the wrong input would be shown for players in a party
• Fix for a bug where a door could open in the opposite direction of the player’s movement
• Footsteps – Footstep tuning of volume fall off distance, mixing volume and occlusion settings
• Placing Deployable Cover on stairs could prevent teammates from being able to mantle or crouch under, blocking paths
• Various audio tuning and fixes for executions and weapons
• Players were able to spam the crouch button while moving creating a ‘snaking’ effect.
