Hardcore Gamer was at Call of Duty XP in Inglewood all week long, immersing ourselves in everything Call of Duty. We’ve already posted our hands-on impressions of Infinite Warfare and a myriad of news, but now it’s time to delve deep into the inner-workings of this year's releases. After talking with Infinity Ward about Infinite Warfare's multiplayer and Lee Ross about Zombies in Spaceland , we sat down for an extended roundtable with Raven Software Studio Director, David Pellas, to learn about the process of remastering Call of Duty: Modern Warfare. The session ended up being refreshingly candid and brought forth multiple revelations about the development of the title.

A new update has rolled out for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 , and with it comes a variety of new changes and features players won't want to miss. Some of the most notable updates in Modern Warfare 3 's October 1 patch are changes to several multiplayer maps, as well as a slew of new weapon buffs. Call of Duty: Warzone also received a new update, which includes several weapon changes as well as updates to the game's limited time Halloween m

Among other things, the December 7 update resolves one scary error message that greeted some Modern Warfare 3 players after the start of Season 1, stating that their data was corrupted. Although the issue was much less problematic than its warning prompt indicated, it did consistently cause some loadout customization resets, which many players found annoying. According to the official changelog attached to the new patch, the developers managed to identify and eliminate the root cause of the problem, both in Modern Warfare 3 and Warzo

The Modern Warfare 3 reboot was released on November 10 to mixed reviews, largely on account of its short and underwhelming single-player mode. The poor reviews did not stop Modern Warfare 3 sales from starting strong , underlining the fact that the series' long-term success has been largely rooted in the appeal of its multiplayer offerings. The recently started Season 1 doubled down on that aspect of the new Call of Duty game by debuting a wide variety of new cont

Call of Duty revealed the patch notes for the new updates, which affect both Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone, in a new blog post . Modern Warfare 3 's new patch targets two multiplayer maps, specifically Shipment and Sporeyard, addressing two issues that have been affecting gameplay. An issue causing inconsistent spawns on Shipment has been fixed, as has an exploit that allowed players to access out-of-bounds areas on Sporeyard. While Modern Warfare 3 features a variety of maps , the game's selection of weapons sees the most changes in this latest patch. There have been several changes made to how shotguns work in Modern Warfare 3 , with the KV Broadside (MWII), Lockwood 300 (MWII), Expedite 12 (MWII), Bryson 800 (MWII), and Bryson 890 (MWII) all having their maximum damage range increa

I can announce them right now. The launch maps are going to be Ambush, Bog, Backlot, Crossfire, District, Overgrown, Shipment, Downpour, Crash and Vacant. So that leaves for December Showdown, Wetwork, Countdown, Strike, Bloc and Pipeline.

We added reverb, we added depth to it, we added positional, we added a lot of ambient sound effects, and we added the ability that if you tossed a grenade near a sheet of metal the sound is going to ricochet off of it with that metal and if it's wood it's completely different. We also have a lot for the explosions of the grenades. For example yeah its got a great punch and boom and it'll pop up, but listen because the rocks fall, and whatever the rocks hit that tings and you'll hear the different tings around. So depending on where you're at you'll get that sound. So yeah there was a lot of great stuff used to emphasize what was already there, and a lot of great stuff was added for more personality and character. but yeah we started with what was there.

Handguns have also been changed significantly in Modern Warfare 3 , with weapons like the P890 (MWII), .50 GS (MWII), and the X12 (MWII) all seeing their maximum damage increase. The Guardian-SC killstreak has also been updated to allow the turret to be deployed while the user is standing in water. Several changes have also been made to Warzone , Call of Duty 's free-to-play battle royale mode . Fans of the crossbow will be happy to see both velocity increase and gravity decrease, making hitting long-range shots easier. The FPS Game Tips's limited-time Halloween event, Purgatory, has been fixed to allow downed enemies to count toward the progression of the Terrible Challe

Usually, flashes and blinds are restricted to Initiators and Duelists. However, Omen and Vyse are the exceptions. There is no doubt Omen is an excellent Controller agent , and his Paranoia blind gives him more versatility than other agents. While Brimstone has aggressive abilities, Omen's Paranoia helps catch enemies off-guard during hard pus
