Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 1.07 Update Patch Notes: New Free Maps, Weapon Nerfs, And More

Infinity Ward dropped a new, free update for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare on November 8th packed full of new maps, a new game mode, and an over-needed balancing patch.

There was a full set of 1.07 patch notes published on the official Modern Warfare subreddit giving players a detailed explanation of all the changes that have arrived spanning across standard multiplayer and Ground War.

Starting off, there is a new map, Krovnik Farmland for Ground War, and Shoot House for multiplayer. To celebrate the addition of Shoot House, there will be a 24/7 mode where players will go through a mixture of Team Deathmatch, Domination, Kill Confirmed, and Headquarters. Hardpoint will also be added to the multiplayer rotation.

The majority of the multiplayer fanbase has complained about the 725 being extremely overpowered along with claymores. The shotgun had its damage radius and distance lowered, but saw an increase in aim down sight speed and hip spread. Claymore damage radius has been reduced, too. For example, players will no longer be eliminated when they are at full health when detonating an enemy claymore.

Some of the smaller adjustments include the removal of Battle Chatter that would reveal location call-outs from characters and a reduction in footstep audio.

Check out the full 1.07 update patch notes below!

General

Backend fixes to prevent crashes and improve stability across all platforms, include dev errors, and various performance fixes.
Fix for a few bugs where some streaks and Field Upgrades were able to be flown out of bounds without penalty. General out of bound fixes were also added.
Fix for a bug where a player being killed by an enemy with a Variable Zoom Scope would not see the zoom function in the killcam
Fix for the Semtex warning audio being heard at the same volume whether in a building or outside
In Headquarters, players were able to place a Tac Insert and respawn when their team owned the point. This has been fixed.
Fix for various collision issues across maps
Added UI that shows when XP events are active in playlists menus
Sprint and Tactical Sprint speeds are now back to speeds in Beta
Fix for a bug where the progress of the bomb defusal can be seen by the team that planted the bomb
Fix for a bug that revealed players to UAVs when they fired their weapons, even if they had Ghost and a silencer equipped
Fixed an issue where if multiple Personal Radars were active on a team, and are both marking the same enemy, only one player would see the enemy on their minimap.

RIOT SHIELD:

Fixed an issue where the throwing knife and Thermite weren’t causing the shield to go on the player’s back when thrown. We’ve also fixed the issue where explosive splash damage wasn’t working consistently. We’ll continue to tune the Riot Shield in future updates.

CLAYMORES:

Detonating an enemy claymore with bullets is now non-lethal when at full health. We’ve also reduced the trigger and damage radius and also reduced the damage width to better match the trigger width.

BATTLE CHATTER:

Removed the ability for enemies to hear when they’ve been called out by the opposing team. We also adjusted the enemy callouts so they are never from your Operator. Enemy callouts now use a more restricted cone at the hip and even more restricted in ADS when calculating whether or not to trigger. We’ll continue to monitor this and make additional tweaks to Battle Chatter in future updates.

MOUNTING:

Slight increase to recoil while mounting.

PERKS:

E.O.D. now clamps damage to a non-lethal amount, assuming the player is at full health

LIGHTING:

Continued updates to player visibility in dark windows and dark areas.

FOOTSTEPS:

We’ve increased the occlusion percentage to filter footstep sounds behind geometry and adjusted the footstep volume at a distance. We have another large footstep change coming in the next update which will make crouch and ADS movement significantly quieter. Stay tuned!

CHALLENGES/PROGRESSION/RANK

Daily Challenges and Active Missions are getting a full sweep of testing and fixes. We’ll have more updates to these systems in future updates.

Fix for a bug where the Infiltrator challenge was not tracking properly
Fix for launchers not giving XP when shooting down killstreaks
Fix for a bug where planting or defusing 5 bombs in Cyber Attack or SnD was not tracking properly
Camo challenge for “Kills After a Reload” didn’t give the player enough time to acquire a kill, so time has been increased
Fix for a bug where your XP require to reach the next rank was higher than the value needed
