Call of Duty: Modern Warfare received an update that brought many welcomed changes in the game. The update is mainly focused around playlist changes, weapon balancing, and bug fixes. Deathmatch Domination and Gunfight Custom have been introduced, and Shoot the Ship is replaced by Shipment 24/7. Winter Docks has been removed from the playlist and Capture the Flag was added into the QuickPlay Filter.
The M13 is buffed with increased damage and range, with a reduction in horizontal recoil, whereas the M4 was nerfed with lower headshot damage. The crossbow saw the biggest changes. Earlier, it was possible that an enemy Support Helo could be destroyed with three Thermite Bolts, but now it will require five bolts to take down a VTOL and six for a Support Helo and Chopper Gunner.
