Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare Notes: Update Nerfs The 725, Again

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare has gotten another patch, this one targeted at a large array of fixes along with some balance adjustments. It’s available across PC, PS4, and Xbox One.

Among the biggest fixes in the 11/19 patch notes are to an exploit that would let players duplicate killstreaks, and an issue where a player can no longer see the objective after spectating and then retrying a mission. Several challenges have also been fixed, and a few weapons have gotten rebalanced. But the headliner of the set is yet another change to the 725. It has gotten adjustments making it weaker at range but with better spread. Alongside that, the AUG has gotten a buff, and the 680 has gotten a damage range reduction with attachments.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare updates have come frequently, the most recent of which was just a few days ago. That one also nerfed the 725, and came just after another patch had done the same. The shotgun is just too effective at range, so Infinity Ward has been consistently trying to adjust it. Getting the balance right on the 725 is apparently difficult.

“Realism mode is an excellent addition to the slate, and although not all the new multiplayer modes are great, Gunfight and the Night Vision playlist are refreshing standouts,” Kallie Plagge wrote in GameSpot’s Modern Warfare review. “And while the campaign ends up playing it safe in the end, it’s still a memorable one, and it lays a strong foundation for where the Modern Warfare series could go from here.”
