Call of Duty’s February 16 update resolved a bug that was causing the TAQ Evolvere’s recoil issues, an improvement that should now be reflected in bothModern Warfare 3Multiplayer andWarzone. Additionally,Modern Warfare 3Multiplayer’s TAQ Evolvere had its 5.56 Ammunition nerfed. As forWarzone, the TAQ Evolvere saw many more changes. Both its 7.62 Ammunition and 5.56 Ammunition were significantly nerfed, including adjustments to their damage, range, and upper body damage modifiers. Also, the new update implemented an additional improvement toModern Warfare 3Multiplayer by allowing the DM56 and MCW 6.8 Conversion Kits to correctly progress the Prophetic Squish challenge, which is part of the Cryptic Bootcamp Event.

As for other newCall of Dutyadditions,Modern Warfare 3recently added new playlistsin Departures 24/7, Snipers Only, and Hordepoint: Hellhound Pound. The first two are probably pretty self-explanatory, while Hellhound Pound adds the Zombies mode’s Hellhounds to the new version of Hordepoint, which sees two teams play Hardpoint on standard maps while also fighting off zombies. While these are promising updates forModern Warfare 3fans, interesting news about the nextCall of Dutyrecently surfaced.

Potential Release Month for Call of Duty 2024

A new leak claimed that Microsoft’s Phil Spencer confirmed to employees thatCall of Duty 2024will be released in October. This would be an earlier release date than last year’sModern Warfare 3, which launched in early November. For Xbox, it’s still unclear whether the game will be a day-one Game Pass title following Microsoft’s purchase of Activision Blizzard.

In more surprising news,Call of Dutycommunity legends Hector “Hecz” Rodriguez and Seth “Scump” Abnerare reportedly suing Activision for a whopping $680 million. Allegedly, this is due to Activision strong-arming the proCall of Dutyscene into consolidating under the company’s Call of Duty League banner, much to the expense of players' personal brand development.
