Modern Warfare 3 update addresses lag, certain glitches

4.3
Good news, soldiers: The multiplayer component of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 has received its sixth title update since the game's launch; a patch which addresses lag and a number of glitches players have been exploiting for their own nefarious, personal gain. Gone are the days of melee-jumping, as well as clan tags which use the controller's symbols to spell dirty words. (Bal[LS] indeed, sir.)

A number of guns have also been tweaked (see: nerfed) as hotfixes introduced to the title. You can check out a full list of these readjusted armaments after the jump, and pray that your precious, precious firearm evaded the developers' all-seeing eye.

Title update: Additional improvements to address lag. Fix for Melee Jump. Clan Tag Validation (remove buttons from clan tags). Improve Host Migration logic. Prevent stat loss when player loses connection from server (internet pull / drop).

Hot Fix Updates
  • Fire rate normalization for Assault Rifles with undermounts
  • FMG9 Re-balancing (Nerf)
  • Akimbo FMG9 Re-balancing (Nerf)
  • Fix for Shotgun's with Extended Mags (Prevents them from shooting more pellets than intended)
  • Type95 Re-balancing (Nerf) - Reduce hipspread.
  • Fix for ACR with Red Dot / Shotgun
  • Fix Type 95 bug related to dropping it.
  • Fix map exploits on Dome

    theartofkc Lol 6 updates and its only been a month wow


    Just because its had 6 updates doesnt mean its bad.. its because they are patching stuff very quickly instead of leaving it like every other game for a few month and then do one big update


    srry but 6 updates in a month is pretty bad considering that's like a patch a week


    It doesnt mean that its bad at all, it just means that people are finding exploits and they are patching them fairly quickly.

    TTG-EMMANUEL i havent gotten this title update?? when does it come out?


    It came out today, it's a hot fix also known as a patch, not a title update which is something you download. So everyone already has it.

    Stammpede What was so special about ACR with red dot/shotgun?

    It Gives The Gun A Much Faster Fire Rate.(Also Known As Rapid Fire)

    aka Dashing?


    It may or may not affect dashboarding, but I think what they are talking about is sudden server related internet drops. I dont know how many times I have just suddenly lost connection to the server mid-game. Glad they fixed this!
