Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 Season 3 Patch Notes Reveal Significant Gameplay Improvements, Big Fixes, and More
Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 Season 3 kicks off today, April 3, and Activision has released patch notes revealing what to expect.
The patch notes, by developers Sledgehammer Games and Treyarch, include detail on the six new 6v6 multiplayer maps for Modern Warfare 3. Three of these maps are brand-new locales and layouts, while the other three are fresh yet familiar experiences. The Emergency 24/7 Playlist launches with the start of the season.
New modes include Capture the Flag and One in the Chamber, while the battle pass unlocks four base weapons, including the MORS sniper rifle and BAL-27 assault rifle from 2014’s Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare. There are eight new aftermarket parts, two new equipment items, new perks, new operators, and new events with limited-time rewards.
As expected, there is a sweeping balance pass on Modern Warfare 3 weapons, as well as changes to the feeling of aiming across all input devices. On the latter, the developers have removed "variance" from aimed down sight idle sway, resulting in a "predictable and consistent motion curve." "This change raises the skill ceiling and rewards players who take the time to master their favorite weapons," the developers said. As for Zombies, there’s a new story mission, Dark Aether Rift, and a set of schematics coming in-season.
