MODERN WARFARE 1.03 PATCH NOTES

GENERAL FIXES

    Spawning in Core Multiplayer:

        Fixed edge case scenarios with spawning on enemies

        Adjusted spawn logic to improve spawn quality. We’ve also added more spawns to increase your options. We will continue to improve this map by map post-launch

    Ground War:

        Added more fallback spawns to FOBs if the flag has too many enemies

        Improved safety checking for spawning on Squadmates (is still dangerous, but the UI will notify you of this!)

        Added spawning on Squadmates while in vehicles

        Neutral tanks and helicopters now show up in the Spawn Selection screen

        Helicopters now have flares to help manage incoming missiles

        If all flags are captured by one team, you’ll go into Defcon to win so protect those flags!

        Fix for an exploit that was allowing players (and therefore teammates) to spawn under the map

    Lighting:

        Brightened characters in dark areas across many maps

    Low Health Visuals:

        Now brightens up in the middle of the screen instead of darkening

    Weapon Balance:

        In general, weapons received a lot of love since the Beta. Most notably shotguns and pistols.

    Equipment:

        Enemy claymores now have larger, visible lasers

        Reviving a teammate near a friendly claymore could cause the claymore to explode, resulting in a suicide

    Mini-Map:

        Now on by default across core multiplayer and Ground War. Enemy firing does not show up on the mini-map unless a team UAV is active

        Map zoom is pulled out a bit to help with player awareness

    Killstreaks:

        VTOL Jet adjusted to not target players though rooftops

        Fix for the Juggernaut Suit not spawning out of a crate. Another fix was deployed to prevent the mask from staying on the player after you have died as the Juggernaut and respawned

        After using the Cruise Missile, player character models were sometimes stuck in a lean after using the streak

    Munitions Box:

        Activated by using a prompt instead of proximity

        Reduced the explosion radius of the box

    Trophy System:

        Applied the Snapshot effect to the owner of any Snapshot grenades

    Recon Drone:

        All players in vehicles are now markable

    Screen tearing on character and weapon models on Xbox

    Impact damage of lethals/tacticals and the ammo box were causing instant kills

    Adjustments to the descriptions in Gunsmith

    Fix for a bug where the wrong input would be shown for players in a party

    Fix for a bug where a door could open in the opposite direction of the player’s movement

    Footsteps – Footstep tuning of volume fall off distance, mixing volume and occlusion settings

    Placing Deployable Cover on stairs could prevent teammates from being able to mantle or crouch under, blocking paths

    Various audio tuning and fixes for executions and weapons

    Players were able to spam the crouch button while moving creating a ‘snaking’ effect.

PC SPECIFIC

    Crouch and prone transition animations have been smoothed out for high FPS

    ADS Sensitivity options can now be saved when using KBM

    Double-tapping the sticks now always triggers the Tactical Sprint when using a gamepad on PC

    Fixed blurriness in various situations

    Ping widget is now showing the correct latency value

    Added depth of field option in the Graphics options

    Added HDR support

    Added NVIDIA Highlight support in MP

    Global performance improvements and stability fixes

    ADS transition animations have been smoothed out for high FPS

    Adjusted stand-to-prone timing for KBM versus gamepads

    Player no longer loses sprint functionality by holding down sprint keybind and the move keybind while respawning

    FOV Slider setting reverting to default after loading into the map.
