A new update just went live in Call of Duty, fixing bugs and adding some slight quality-of-life changes across the current slate of games including Modern Warfare 2, Warzone 2, and DMZ.
The full suite of CoD development teams seems to be back in the office full-time again for the new year after an extended holiday break that left CoD players everywhere scratching their heads and wondering when the next update would be.
Infinity Ward, Raven Software, and the rest of Activision’s CoD teams are now hard at work on the season two update, which was recently pushed back two weeks and is now scheduled to launch on Feb. 15.
The patch notes for the 500MB update today are light on content but full of various fixes for bugs that have been plaguing the games over the past few weeks, including several issues that were not allowing certain challenges to track.
The update also includes “improved navigation of Battle Pass including fixes for some players experiencing freezing,” according to the patch notes.
