Modern Warfare 3 is considered as one of the top games in the market since it was released. Despite that, Modern Warfare 3 has its share of glitches and lags and this is something that the developers are trying to fix through the release of these new updates.

Infinity Ward, the developer for Modern Warfare 3 recently announced new updates for the popular game in order to fix the "glitches" that players are experiencing when playing the game. Most of the updates that were released recently focused on the hitching and lag in gameplay. There were also updates that were used to address further lag, fix for melee jump, the remove buttons from clan tags, host migration logic, and to prevent stat loss whenever players loses their connection from the server.

Here is the released list of these new updates:

  • No Recoil glitch
  • Infinite Laptop killstreak glitch (Stealth Bomber Glitch)
  • Map Exploits (Getting into trucks, under maps) Fix
  • Prevent Slow-mo and Super Fast lobbies
  • Fire rate normalization for Assault Rifles with undermounts
  • FMG9 Re-balancing (Nerf)
  • Akimbo FMG9 Re-balancing (Nerf)
  • 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
  • PS3 Hitmarker Sound
  • Adjust direct impact damage a Semtex does to a Juggernaut (No longer 1 hit kill)
  • Improvements to "weighted matchmaking" to improve games for regions with low populations.

This is not the first time that updates have been released for this game but the consistency of these glitches prompted people to question the developer behind Modern Warfare 3. Some players were concerned that the games that are released are not 100% complete when it is officially released in the market. Though that is the case, the developers of this game are consistent when it comes to releasing updates in order to fix the glitches in the game. In fact, the developers also featured a list of the issues that the company is currently focusing on.

Here is the list of the Re-balancing and Updates currently in Development and/or Discussion:

  • Updates to the Spawn system
  • Improvement to PS3 Mic Quality.
  • Several improvements to theater cued up for January release including HD rendering on PS3.
  • Fix for Shotgun's with Extended Mags (Prevents them from shooting more pellets than intended)
  • Default: 30 Round Start timer for System Link only, while looking into adjustable timer for System Link games for Competitive Play.
  • Options to allow System Link players to 'unlock all' for competitive play in System Link only.

Despite the negativity about these updates, Modern Warfare 3 was met with success upon its release. It was able to set a new record when it was released thus having the record of having the most successful launch day for any game that was released.
