Developers Sledgehammer Games and Treyarch have detailed the latest updates for Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone. Deployed on February 21, 2024, the patches address a variety of issues in both Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone, as well as adjusting weapon and equipment balance.
With a huge competitive community even the smallest updates to Modern Warfare 3 draw great attention. It often seems like every player has their own idea of how to improve the game.
