Sledgehammer and Treyarch posted the detailed patch notes for Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone on the official Call of Duty Related Site . Though the separate February 21 patch note pages for Modern Warfare 3 Season 2 and Warzone Season 2 contained adjustments specific to their modes, both included notes from Ricochet Anti-Cheat, the anti-cheating platform employed throughout the Call of Duty franchise. Ricochet Anti-Cheat was launched in 2021 for Call of Duty: Vanguard and Warzo

The war has changed. Call of Duty returns with an all-new campaign, modernized versions of classic Multiplayer maps and an open-world PvE Zombies experience. The campaign, a direct sequel to the record-breaking Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II, sees Captain Price and Task Force 141 face off against ultranationalist war criminal Vladimir Makarov as he extends his grasp across the world. In Multiplayer, the 16 maps that launched with Modern Warfare 2 in 2009 return with upgraded graphics, new modes and innovative gameplay features. In Modern Warfare Zombies, team up with other squads for the first time ever as you work together to survive in the largest Zombies map

Like many other games in the multiplayer franchise, as well as other FPS titles in gaming history, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone have a long history of players going to great lengths to cheat to win. Less-skilled players would rather use exploits and cheating software to get an advantage over more competitive gamers, a phenomenon that always ends up ruining the experience for many people. For its part, Activision has tried over the years to implement anti-cheating measures, but enterprising cheaters have always found ways to get thro

Besides the Anti-Cheat update, the February 21 patch for Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone included changes to various gameplay abilities. In Warzone , the size of the effective area for the popular Advanced UAV ability was increased, putting the entire map in view for the player using it. Shock Sticks were also made into effective counters for more equipment-based Field Upgrades, increasing their utility. The Warzone changes also included adjustments to Skill Rating (SR) gain, changing who can receive Kill & Assist Credit when eliminating other players. The change was made to ensure the "competitive integrity" of Skill Rating gain and prevent players from inflating their SR gains by "tapping" downed enem

In an official update released on February 21 , Activision admitted that the team manning the RICOCHET Anti-Cheat system had received over 6,000 reports of cheating incidents from February 16 to 20. This was because someone had mistakenly claimed that RICOCHET was offline, spurring cheaters to attempt using exploits. As a result, the developer not only tracked and banned these thousands of players, but it's also now testing new security updates. So far, the team's only concrete update was to disable game code for limited-time perks, but it's also said players should expect more announcements on the

Grief retained the classic round-based Zombies gameplay many are used to, this time with two teams of four players who have to outlast each other. Turned, on the other hand, combined mechanics from Infection and Gun Game. It featured four players—three as zombies and one as a human. The human's goal was to eliminate zombies, with their weapons changing after each kill. Zombies, meanwhile, had to take down the humans to switch roles with them. Each kill earned players points, with humans receiving a bonus, and the player with the most points at the end of the game

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. And when it comes to calls to address concerns about overpowered Modern Warfare 3 gear , the pressure for the team to swing one way or another in the name of "balance" can seem overwhelm

When the topic of remastering a Call of Duty title comes up, no game is as heavily requested as Black Ops 2 —an entry that many regard as the best in the franchise. At the time of its release, Black Ops 2 took a bold leap into the near future, and while some of its fictional elements have since become reality , its campaign remains a thrilling experience. Jumping between past and future events, Black Ops 2 delivers an excellent sequel to Black Ops , and while some missions may not be the most memorable, reviving its story could reignite interest in remastering classic Call of Duty tit
