On August 16th, Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone received a new update. The patch primarily brings in the necessary content for the Shadow Siege event. Fans should also be on the lookout for the global reveal of Modern Warfare 3 on August 17th at 10:30 am PT within Warzone.

Recoil control-related stats have been slightly nerfed, indicating a move toward challenging players to master weapon mechanics and increase skill ceilings. The patch addresses several bugs, from players not being able to access the Battle Pass to issues with weapon challenges and key bind settings.

Below you can find the complete patch notes.
