It’s now been a month sinceCall of Duty: Modern Warfare 2andCall of Duty: Warzone 2’s Season 01 Reloaded launch, and Activision has prepped a patch for both games. Given the size and frequency of content releases for bothCall of Duty: Modern Warfare 2andWarzone 2, frequent maintenance updates are also incredibly important. This patch won’t change gameplay in eitherModern Warfare 2orWarzone 2, but it should fix some pesky lingering technical issues.The launch of Season 01 Reloaded for bothCall of Duty: Modern Warfare 2andCall of Duty: Warzone 2led to a variety of big and small technical issues. Game crashes were understandably the most frustrating common issue, but there were also many smaller problems related to both games' battle pass, the Gunsmith, user interface glitches, and much more. The list of smaller issues is surprisingly long, which is perhaps unsurprising given thesize of bothModern Warfare 2andWarzone 2.RELATED:Warzone 2 Is Bringing Back 1v1 Gulag FormatThe new update for bothModern Warfare 2andWarzone 2addresses issues impacting both games, as well as problems that impact each respective game individually. Issues listed for both games include fixes reducing known crashes, improved navigation for theSeason 01 Battle Pass, sound fixes for when four or more players were talking in chat, and both navigation and user interface fixes for the Gunsmith. That pesky text issue when working on Attachments is thankfully fixed now.
Warzone 2-specific fixes largely revolve around problems with XP and progression. For example, wins weren’t counting toward Calling Card Challenges on occasion, which has now been fixed. There are also XP gain exploits granting XP for players hurting themselves with a Suppression Mine or when using a Stim in the Gas that now no longer work. Another incredibly frustrating bug that’s been fixed would cause players to disconnect when opening a Loadout Crate.
DMZ modewas also a focus for many different bug fixes in the newCall of Dutyupdate. One nasty exploit was even allowing players to duplicate items, which may explain some of the mode’s frustrating balance issues. Other fixes include a bug allowing players to continue playing after a match was supposed to end, Supply Drops granting duplicated loot to two players, and items within a player’s backpack showing up in a Dead Drop. DMZ’s got some really eyebrow-raising problems, it seems.
As ever, as substantial as the fixes found in the latestCall of Duty: Modern Warfare 2andCall of Duty: Warzone 2update are, there’s still a lot left for the developers to address. Now that everyone’s back from the holidays, patches will hopefully be more routine again. At least, there will hopefully be more updates between now andSeason 02’s expected launch in mid-February, which will likely introduce a variety of new concerns.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2andCall of Duty: Warzone 2are available now on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
