Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3's latest patch 1.33 disappoints fans with missing expected updates

A new update for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III brings enhancements and DLSS 3 support for PC, specifically for those with RTX 40 Series GPUs, which promises improved performance across all modes. Although Patch 1.33 addressed a variety of stability issues and map exploits, it postponed some anticipated changes. These include adjustments to the Zombies mode, multiplayer weapon balancing, and more. Sledgehammer Games has committed to incorporating these features in the next update.

The patch resolves various issues across PC and console platforms, including blank screens, party disbandment when cross-launching games, and selective install problems for PC players. Stability enhancements such as a fix for crashes during the start-up sequence are also included. In the campaign mode, players will now receive completion rewards appropriately, issues with ziplines and interaction with equipment pickups have been fixed, and several gameplay-related crashes have been addressed.

For multiplayer, UI and efficiency improvements were made, and challenges have received new requirements, along with corrected tracking conditions. Fixes for specific weapons and attachments were implemented, improving hipfire control and response times. Cosmetic updates and Zombies gameplay stability enhancements have also been made. Despite these changes, the game continues to face criticism for aspects such as its Zombies mode and the grind required for unlocking items.

Fans are encouraged to keep an eye out for further updates from the developers as more improvements and fixes are on the way. Professional reviews, including IGN's, have highlighted ongoing issues with the game modes and the overall experience, suggesting that there's still work to be done to meet player expectations fully.
