News - Modern Warfare 2: Big Surprise Update Patch Notes. Warzone 2 New Update Changes
Ladies and gentlemen, hey. We actually got a surprise update from Infinity Ward and Raven for Modern Warfare 2 in War Zone 2, and we have some brand new patch notes to break down. We also have some new in-game changes that were, as you know, posted on Raven's Twitter as well, so there's a lot going on here.
The communication since the Reloaded update dropped has been It's pretty impressive, I won't lie. The first couple of weeks of the game being out ever since season one weren't really all that great, but post-reload and update, they've been on top. I post new changes that they're aware of and looking into, so.
New modern warfare 2 update changes & bug fixes
They also have several bug fixes that they've listed as well, so they fix an issue with the Spec Ops veteran raid playlist where times were incorrect, so if you're going for the veteran raid stuff to get those bonus rewards, they've gone through and now adjusted that.
They also fixed an issue that caused weapon loadouts to be reset when equipping a weapon with a gold mastery. So that's a big W, the weapons resetting, and all sorts of stuff like that was a big issue as of late between all platforms, basically, so now they've gone through and adjusted that, and you absolutely, love to see it they've also fixed an issue that caused the UI to not work properly, so the new social menu updates that went live with the reloaded update they had some issues there so they've gone through and updated that they, fixed an issue that caused the UI to display the incorrect raid star requirements for Adam Grad raid episode one.
So again, if you're looking into the raid stuff, the UI should be fixed there, and players should be able to save another player's weapon setup through the showcase. This was an issue that you could basically duplicate. Weapons, camo—you could go through and, if anyone in your group or whatever had Orion camo, you could go through and save their blueprints and get Orion camo for yourself obviously without earning it, so that was a big issue that they didn't want to have around for a while, so no surprises there with that one getting fixed very, very quickly.
They also fixed an issue involving the use of the SAE kill streak in the CDL rule set. You're safe to play rocker yet again; that will not be an issue any longer, so that's definitely good riding time for the major one, which obviously is going on right now. They also fixed a bug that prevented free trial players from party queuing for the free trial playlist.
They also fixed an issue where custom weapon blueprints were created for an unlocked weapon in a private match. Lobby could be used in public matches, so that was a big issue again. With the new update and the saving of weapon blueprints, you could create your own custom blueprints. You won't be able to do that anymore or use attachments that previously you didn't have unlocked on a custom blueprint that you used via private match.
They also fixed an issue causing the weapon mastery three camos to appear with no progress in the UI, so they've gone through and updated that now as well, so you won't have any issues now seeing 0 out of 51 for your polyatomic. Camos, or anything like that. So definitely some solid fixes there to a handful of the quality of life glitches that were going on basically in the game, and that's it for the official patch notes from Infinity Ward. However, we also have even more updates from Raven Software as well as some war zone-specific updates.

Also, a quick shout out to my friends over at G Fuel AR, who are doing sort of an extended last minute holiday sale, so a bunch of flavors are discounted as is, and code Immortal actually stacks on top of that discount, so you can get even more savings on your order there.
So if you want to try a new flavor, maybe restock on one of your favorites that's currently discounted. Code Immortal will get you an additional 20 to 30 percent off your order in addition to the already-discounted price, so definitely take advantage of that if you're interested. So we got a bunch of different tweets from Raven here with sort of their own "patch notes," if you will.
This was from a couple of days ago, when they made a big update to the buy stations. This is a big W. The update was season one reloaded, which obviously broke a lot of the buying stations. It changed locations and actually removed a good amount of them from each match. They've now doubled the average number of buy stations per match, so that should help with the flow of the game a lot there also.
This is the big update that I'm really excited about. They also made a change to the DMZ here. Unintentionally, a change was implemented in the season one reloaded update, resulting in the base AI combatants, the bots, and the base difficulty being increased across the DMZ when it was only intended for a specific area.
It's a really confusing thing, but the bots have an aimbot around the strongholds and black sights, which is not supposed to be a thing they are that good at in Building 21, so with the zones instead of foreshadowing there, but overall, those bots are not going to be crazy good anymore. Another minor update here: the chance to encounter multiple circles has been reduced from 33 to 15 now, down from 33 before.
With the zone splitting into a Zone B Zone and a Zone B Zone C, even that's only going to happen 15 now instead of all the time, so a significant decrease there. I also love that we're getting exact values here, exact percentages, rather than having it reduced. There was great communication there from Raven.
They also fixed an issue that caused players to unintentionally lose a small amount of cash whenever you equip to loadout, so if you went to a loadout drop and got your custom class and it took like 500 away from you for some reason obviously, it's supposed to be free, so they've gone through it and fixed that as well, and then the final patch note here says the heavy chopper has been disabled in Battle Royale while we investigate options to balance this vehicle for late games.
So the heavy choppers were wildly overpowered for late game plays, getting into the gas and being able to basically survive for a very long time when you probably shouldn't be able to, so the heavy choppers are completely out of the game right now for the time being while they go ahead and nerf that in various ways.
I imagine they probably won't let you fly into the gas; maybe they'll nerf the overall health or something like that, but all right. A little post-editing by Zach here cheval again Infinity War did follow up their patch note tweet by saying that players were repeatedly encountering developer errors.
