Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 gamers may now download Update 1.08 for the recently launched first-person shooter game, although Xbox users may be disappointed by how large the update package is. The recent Call of Duty games have had large download sizes, and game updates may be as out of hand. However, the systems getting the new Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 update are not treated equally.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 players on PC, PlayStation 4, and Playstation 5 may get Update 1.08 for less than 1 GB. Those playing Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 on Xbox One or Xbox Series X, on the other hand, must download approximately 50 GB of data. It’s unknown why Xbox players must download so much more data than their PC and PlayStation counterparts, but this isn’t the first time this has occurred with a Call of Duty game on Xbox. It’s not the only way Xbox gamers are receiving the short end of the stick with the new game, as Modern Warfare 2 players on Xbox are unable to disable crossplay.
Gamers will want to know what the new Modern Warfare 2 update for Xbox does after they get over the enormous download size. For starters, Modern Warfare 2 attachment tuning has returned. The update also resolves crashing problems that have plagued the game, as well as bug fixes. Furthermore, the patch notes for Modern Warfare 2 Release 1.08 include several changes that will be included in the Season 1 update later in November.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 users may download the Season 1 update on November 16, which includes the Warzone 2.0 battle royale and the new DMZ game mode. It will also contain weapon balance improvements and possibly UI enhancements, but additional details on that front will have to wait until the Season 1 patch notes are released.
The problematic ping mechanism in Modern Warfare 2 has not been corrected in the current version. At launch, a bug caused adversaries tagged with a ping in Modern Warfare 2 to be stuck with it throughout the fight, thus giving the game built-in wallhacks. Infinity Ward intends to solve this issue in the November 16th Modern Warfare 2 Season 1 update, but the functionality will remain disabled in the meanwhile.
Other flaws that will be addressed in future versions include Modern Warfare 2 riot shield users being indestructible, the DDOS Field upgrade glitch, and an issue with helicopter height. Here are the complete MW2 patch notes:
