725 and M4 see another nerf

Today Modern Warfare has received a new update, with another tuning pass for the M4 assault rifle and the 725 shotgun. These should help remedy the current M4/725 meta in MP. Additionally, spawns were tuned on Piccadilly, and footsteps saw another update. Here’s the patch notes from Infinity Ward.

General Fixes

• More backend fixes to prevent crashes and improve stability across all modes and all platforms

Riot Shield:

• Fix for a bug where a player using the Riot Shield would not take explosive damage during certain situations
• Fixed an issue where the Riot Shield would stow on the players back when using Stim. (Tactical)

Footsteps

• Adjusted to always play walk footstep sounds when in ADS and crouch independent of speed
• Increased the speed in which you can remain using the walk footstep sounds by slightly pressing on the movement stick

Challenges

• General fix for the UI and Challenge state getting out of sync. We’ll continue to monitor and make additional fixes as needed in future updates
• Fix for a challenge related error that could occur; DEV ERROR 5476
• Fix for Mission Challenge description, “Get Kills with a Burst Weapons” being too vague.

Piccadilly:

• Spawn tuning while playing TDM and Domination
• Domination flag adjustments; B Flag is now near the busses instead of the center fountain

Weapons:

• ARs: Minor hip spread adjustment
• 725: Reduce range
• M4: increase hip spread, decrease damage to the head
• FAL: Reduced recoil, increased ADS speed
• EB-14: Increase ADS speed
• Miscellaneous ammo reserve adjustments upon spawning to be in-line with other weapons of their class

Special Operations:

• Fix for a bug where a player using the Overkill perk with an SMG as their secondary would sometimes spawn without a primary weapon when joining a match in progress
