Activision has announced new security updates coming to Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 and Call of Duty: Warzone after banning more than 6,000 cheaters across both games earlier this month. Cheating in Call of Duty has already been bad before this, but a recent incident this February resulted in a massive surge of malicious players trying to exploit the g

The fresh update introduces some significant balance changes to Modern Warfare 3 by buffing the Striker 9 SMG, TAQ Evolvere LMG, WSP Stinger handgun, and the Longbow's JAK Tyrant 762 kit. The Striker 9's recoil is now much more manageable, the TAQ Evolvere's two ammo types are buffed to better represent their unique benefits, the Stinger's recoil is reduced and its damage is increased, and the Longbow's JAK Tyrant kit is now easier to handle. The same weapons also saw adjustments in Warzo

Meanwhile, Modern Warfare 3 developer Sledgehammer Games remains hard at work at improving the experience. The latest Modern Warfare 3 update , aside from addressing the cheating incidents, made several tweaks to weapons and gameplay while also making stability fi

Black Ops Cold War and Black Ops 6 are both excellent spy-thrillers when it comes to their campaigns, but Call of Duty: Black Ops is what started it all. Among Call of Duty campaigns, Black Ops is often held in high regard, immersing players in the Vietnam and Cold Wars before unraveling a deeper story filled with dark secrets, mind control, and psychological twists never before seen in the franchise. If Black Ops were to receive a remaster, its campaign alone could be a major selling po

From unique gamemodes to custom cosmetics now with the Emblem Editor , a mechanic heavily featured in Black Ops 2 . This unique tool allowed players to create custom emblems , which were displayed on their user profiles and showcased during objective captures, Scorestreak calls, and more. The Emblem Editor included a wide range of preset shapes that players could manipulate to their liking. Thanks to the creativity of the community, this feature led to near-endless possibilities for some truly epic desi

There are plenty of cosmetics up for grabs during the Echo Endo Live event in Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone . Be sure to use the best Rebirth Island landing spots along with the best JAK Protean loadout to rack up XP with e

Despite these measures, cheating and hacking in Call of Duty: Warzone remains a serious problem, as many creative players are just able to find different advantages over their opponents. For every exploit the system can squash, more seem to sprout and get past the protections, and the 6,000 players may not even be the end of it. These incidents may be an unfortunate reflection of how the current RICOCHET system may not be enough to defeat persistent cheat

Call of Duty 's Season 2 roadmap revealed that a mid-season update will see Modern Warfare 3 receive the Das Haus map, new variants of Terminal and Skidrow, the Bounty SLG game heroes mode, and the Juggermosh LTM. Warzone will receive the PDS field upgrade, the Research Vessel POI for Fortune's Keep, and the Bunker Buster killstreak. Both games will also receive the SOA Subverter battle rifle and Soulrender melee weapon. Call of Duty has yet to confirm a date for the Season 2 Reloaded upd

When it comes to great stories that deserve a remaster, many might immediately think of Black Ops , World at War , or even the original Call of Duty . While all these titles are excellent candidates, one Call of Duty game that often flies under the radar is Call of Duty 2: Big Red One , a Treyarch title that—despite being frequently confused with Call of Duty 2 —is actually a standalone spin-off with its own unique st

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

The new patch comes after Call of Duty 's recent introduction of Season 2 . The major update introduced plenty of new features to Modern Warfare 3 Multiplayer, such as new maps, game modes, weapons, and more. Warzone also received a new map in the returning Fortune's Keep, a new game mode in Ranked Resurgence, and the same new weapons that Modern Warfare 3 received. While Call of Duty 's next major update is presumably about a month away, which will be a Season 2 Reloaded patch, Call of Duty just released its newest minor upd

There are a few ways players can increase their XP earn rate. Instead of using a standard Operator, fans can equip the Cyber Cat, Kabuto, Miryou, or Mikan Endo skins from the Call of Duty store (costing $20 per bundle ). Equipping one of the skins grants players an XP boost, which will allow them to earn the Cat-Girl Smile camo as fast as possi
