A new Modern Warfare 3 patch is now available to download on consoles.
As Robert Bowling, Infinity Ward’s Creative Strategist, promised a few days ago, today MW3 has been patched with supposedly the much awaited “thanksgiving” patch that should address lag, matchmaking, and rank loss issues. The patch size for the PS3 is 21 MB and 4 MB for the 360, and you should be able to download it when you log into the multiplayer section of the game. Unfortunately, there are no official patch notes for this update, but Bowling is going to highlight what the last few patches have fixed at a later date. Based on limited firsthand experience and threads on the official Call of Duty forums, the patch seems to have addressed some of the aforementioned problems to an extent, but as the patch is still being rolled out not everyone is having the same experience. Most notably, the lag compensation seems to be removed, but we still await confirmation.
