New Modern Warfare 3 Update Details Announced

New details on incoming patches and hotfixes for Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3.

In addition to yesterday’s big hot fix, Infinity Ward and Sledgehammer Games have revealed what issues they are currently ironing out. The biggest standout is, as usual, the lag compensation. Robert Bowling explained that they are “finalizing the last set of MW3 updates before the Holiday break. We plan to get out a Lag Compensation update & introduce Hardcore Ricochet.”

In addition the Hardcore Ricochet, here are the other issues currently in discussion; however, it’s unclear whether all of these will make it in the “update before the Holiday break”.
