Now Playing: Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III | New Multiplayer Map – Rio

On the Warzone side, the midseason update adds the new Champion’s Quest nuke challenge, which is similar to last year’s nuke challenge. The developer says a new “steal” mechanic will arrive in a later season, and details on how this works will be released closer to implementation.

The developer also discusses map polishing, which is meant to provide players with a “smoother and more immersive experience.” The updated map areas include:

Fixed over 50 mantle spots

Fixed over 50 mounting spots

Fixed over 150 areas affected by clipping

Fixed over 20 known, exploitable areas

Improved lighting in 43 buildings

Plenty of weapon balancing is also included for the battle royale. This includes a maximum damage increase from 32 to 35 damage for the Holger 556 assault rifle, and the MCW assault rifle gained a maximum damage increase from 24 to 28 and a near-mid damage increase from 20 to 24. Additionally, all of MW3’s powerful light machine guns received nerfs to reduce the maximum and minimum damage ranges. These weapon changes only affect Warzone.

An adjustment is made to Warzone’s deployable Buy Stations. Loot underneath a Deployed Buy Station will now be removed to prevent overlap and difficulties interacting with the device.

For Modern Warfare 3, Ranked Play mode and the new Rio 6v6 map arrive in multiplayer. Several maps have major spawn adjustments for the Hardpoint mode. This list includes Highrise, Invasion, Karachi, Terminal, Sub Base, Scrapyard, and Underpass. The Estate map also received an adjustment for the Control game mode, which prevents the Kitchen Control capture point from being contested from the Main Room.

Two changes were made to the Infected game mode. Using a field upgrade will no longer cause it to become disabled for the remainder of the match, and the Deployable Cover field upgrade will no longer fail to deploy upon attempted placement.

Weapon balancing also arrives in multiplayer. MW3’s SVA assault rifle has a slight buff of 3% to maximum damage, while the DG-56 assault rifle is hit with a huge reduction of -43% to the maximum damage range and a -31% drop to the gun’s medium damage range.

Additionally, some MW2 weapons are buffed to be more viable. The most impactful change is that the STB-556 assault rifle receives a whopping 100% increase to the maximum damage range, which goes from 15.2 meters to 30.5 meters. It also gains a 34% increase to near-medium damage range and a 16% gain to medium damage range.

Other MP changes include adjustments to killstreaks and equipment. Enemy Cruise Missile killstreaks will no longer be targeted and destroyed by trophy systems, and the SAM Turret streak is nerfed to have increased cooldown between missiles and it will no longer target and destroy the Advanced UAV.

For Zombies mode, Season 1 Reloaded adds the new Warlord boss Dokkaebi. Other small adjustments include the ability for players to leave their squad, and milestone notifications are added to notify players of certain progression milestones when completing missions. Various crash and stability fixes are also made.

The full patch notes can be found below for Warzone and Modern Warfare 3, as shared on Call of Duty’s blog.

SR (SKILL RATING) & DIVISION OVERVIEW

Test yourself against your peers and track that progress with a visible SR (Skill Rating) that determines your place across 8 Skill Divisions.

All players begin our first Competitive Season in Bronze I with 0 SR.

Players increase their SR by winning matches and lose SR whenever they lose matches.

Both individual and team performance will impact how much SR you gain or lose per match. In higher Skill Divisions, team performance has a bigger impact on SR gained or lost so that all winning playstyles are more consistently rewarded.

Players can progress through eight Skill Divisions by reaching SR milestones: Bronze – Starting DivisionSilver – 900 SRGold – 2,100 SRPlatinum – 3,600 SRDiamond – 5,400 SRCrimson – 7,500 SRIridescent – 10,000 SRTop 250 – 10,000+ SR

Platinum – 3,600 SR

Diamond – 5,400 SR

Top 250 – 10,000+ SR

Division Tiers: All Divisions except for Iridescent have 3 Tiers – Tier I, Tier II & Tier III. Climb into higher Tiers as you advance your way through each Division.

Show Off Your Skill: It’s easy to see which Division someone is in in MWII Ranked Play. Your entire Rank Icon will change color and material depending on your current Skill Division. Your current Tier is also prominently shown in the center of your Rank icon.

End of Season Skill Setback: At the end of each Season, your ending Skill Division and Skill Division Tier will determine where you start the following season: Bronze through Crimson I Players are set back three (3) Tiers below where they finished in the previous season. Example: A Player ending Season 1 in Gold III will begin Season 2 in Silver III.Players Crimson II and above will start Season 2 in Diamond I. The highest starting position each Season is Diamond I.
