After a relatively stable and successful launch of Season 2 of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 and Call of Duty: Warzone 2 earlier in February, Activision is capping off the month with a new patch for the game. It's been merely two weeks since the launch of Season 2 that saw the fan-favorite Resurgence mode returning to Call of Duty: Warzone 2, alongside a new map for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, and Infinity Ward has been hard at work updating the game with regular bug fixes, weapon rebalancing, and improving the game's stability.Launched on February 15, Season 2 introduced a plethora of new content to Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, namely the reintroduction of the Dome map from Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3. Season 2 also saw the much-requested Gun Game and Infected game modes return to Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, alongside the Ranked Play. Call of Duty: Warzone 2 also saw a whole host of changes in Season 2, with the return of Resurgence mode and the arrival of a new map. The latest update for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 and Call of Duty: Warzone 2 is mainly targeted at stabilizing the game but also delivers a few weapon and attachment rebalancing. The patch mainly targeted the lethality of RPK, Fennec, and TAQ-V weapon platforms that have been dominating the Warzone 2 lobbies since Season 1. As detailed in the official patch notes, the update also buffs the Lachmann-762 Battle Rifle, improving performance at longer ranges. Season 2's new ISO Hemlock weapon had its.300 Blackout Ammunition readjusted, while it remains banned in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2's Ranked Play. The Incendiary Ammunition for Sniper Rifles will no longer apply residual burning damage to players, and headshots with this ammo equipped will no longer down fully-armored players with 3-plate vests.
The patch also addresses several bug fixes for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2's multiplayer, including players being able to leave Infected lobbies on Farm 18 maps. The update also fixed several spots in Ashika Island where players were able to shoot through the terrain, while also rebalancing the amount of Armor Plates found as ground loot. Further improvements to Loadout Drop Markers and 1v1 Gulag have also been made. Fans of the DMZ can finally breathe easy since this patch has fixed the issue of endless waves of reinforcements, as well as fixing AI combatants clipping through places in Ashika Island.
While currently this patch might be the final one for February, players should expect emergency fixes if any significant problems arise in-game. For the time being, players can hop in the new Solo Resurgence playlist in Call of Duty: Warzone 2's new Ashika Island map and experience the changes themselves.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 and Call of Duty Warzone 2 are now available on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
