As Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone players await the Season 1 Reloaded update next week, a new update has gone live which squashes some bugs and adjusts some of the multiplayer maps' spawn points. The list of map spawn adjustments includes Meat, one of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 ' s newest original maps, which went live as part of Season 1 last month alongside another original 6v6 map named Greece.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 has recently unveiled its plans for its first mid-season Reload. Slated for next week, the smaller update is set to bring a new original 6v6 multiplayer map named Rio, and will give players access to two exciting new weapons in the HRM-9 SMG and the TAQ Evolvere LMG. Additionally, Season 1 Reloaded will see the return of The Boys' collaboration , with A-Train and Firecracker joining Homelander, Starlight, and Black Noir in the in-FPS game Weapons shop. Players can also get involved in a limited time "Suped Up" version of Kill Confirmed where, instead of tags, fallen enemies drop Temp-V Field Upgrades to use.
With just under a week to go until Season 1 Reloaded lands, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 has detailed a new update for multiplayer and Warzone which irons out some of the game's persisting bugs. On the Modern Warfare 3 multiplayer side of the fence, the update addresses the headache of players getting booted to the multiplayer menu when doing things like viewing an after-action report or equipping conversion kits to weapons. The update also corrects the unlock requirements for items such as Modern Warfare 3 's Throwning Star , the Ravage-10 stock attachment, and the Rival-9's Compensator Muzzle. Perhaps most importantly, six of the game's multiplayer maps, including Afghan, Meat, and Rust, have received adjustments to some of their spawn locations in the name of alleviating unfair spawn camp advantages.

As for Call of Duty: Warzone , the MTZ Interceptor Marksman Rifle, the only weapon to see an adjustment with this new update, has received a slight nerf to its maximum and minimum damage. Similar to Modern Warfare 3 's multiplayer fixes, an issue in Warzone which kicks players to the main menu while using the Gunsmith has been patched up as well. Other miscellaneous bug fixes include Warzone players getting stuck in the Gulag , players being able to duplicate backpack items, and weapon attachments not appearing as they should in-game. The patch notes also remind players to expect more weapon changes as part of the mid-season Reloaded update next week.
