We’re just hours away from another big Call of Duty Modern Warfare update releasing on PS4, Xbox One and PC.
Activision has confirmed that they will be releasing a new Season 4 content patch, meaning a new map and weapon for Modern Warfare multiplayer, and a new mode for COD Warzone.
One of the more eye-catching changes is the new 200-Player Warzone mode, which will put 50 teams of Quads against each other.
This will use the Verdansk map and will be available to play as soon as you have downloaded the latest Call of Duty patch.
Gamers who don’t play Battle Royale can also look forward to the release of the new Cheshire Park map, as well as the Team Defender mode.
Both Modern Warfare and Call of Duty Warzone players will also find that a big weapon balance change is coming today, which will hopefully tone down the Grau of recent weeks.
WHAT TIME DOES THE NEW CALL OF DUTY MODERN WARFARE UPDATE ARRIVE?
According to Activision, the next Call of Duty Modern Warfare update will be released at 11pm PT on Monday, June 29, 2020. For gamers in the UK, this will mean a new download arriving at around 7am BST, across PS4, Xbox One and PC.
Activision has also warned that the next update will be large but won’t take up the same amount of room when it has been installed.
Here’s the explanation from developers Infinity Ward, who write: “Please note that the Season Four Reloaded update will have a download size of approximately 22-36 GB for owners of the full version of Modern Warfare.
“Console owners must install a secondary download of approximately 3.5GB, then reboot the game to access Multiplayer, if desired. A reminder, console players can choose also to uninstall/remove other data packs.
“Once the Season Four Reloaded update is fully completed, it should minimally increase the overall digital footprint of the full version of Modern Warfare.
“Existing free-to-play Warzone players will have a download size of approximately 22GB-30GB, once finished there will be a reduction to the overall footprint on their machines.”
More details regarding today’s Call of Duty Modern Warfare update can be found below:
MODERN WARFARE
New Multiplayer Map: Cheshire Park
Those who have the full Modern Warfare experience have a new locale to deploy to: Cheshire Park.
Located in urban London, England, Cheshire Park is a picturesque garden and conservatory where Operators will battle from door to door or through the central flora-filled area.
Take to the townhomes for long sightlines, the stores to capture objectives through intense CQB battles, or take to the side streets to take some shortcuts. If you dare, try to challenge those who may set up shop in second story windows, phone booths, front yards, or scaffolding.
New Multiplayer Mode: Team Defender
Introduced nearly a decade ago, Team Defender returns to Modern Warfare as a fast-paced objective game mode that puts a twist on the traditional Capture the Flag formula.
Instead of both teams defending their respective flags, there is only one flag for a squad member to capture and hold onto. A squad earns a point for every second that one of their members holds onto this flag, which means defending the carrier is a must for victory.
Other than needing the flag to earn points, attackers will want to down the carrier for points, which will lead to games where both squads will frantically attempt to wrest control of the flag until the very last second in this pulse-pounding Multiplayer experience.
Rytec AMR Sniper Rifle
This .50 caliber-chambered beast joins the three other weapons in the sniper rifle category and is yours to unlock via in-game challenge. A blueprint variant is also available to get through the Store via the ‘Lost Souls’ bundle.
Whether you need to lock down an objective in Multiplayer, lay waste to AQ in Co-Op, or take that cross-Verdansk shot in Warzone, the Rytec AMR is one of the deadliest semi-automatic anti-material rifles an Operator can get their hands on. Use the included picatinny rail to Gunsmith it out to the situation at hand and get back in the fight as your squad’s reliable sharpshooter.
COD WARZONE
SUPPLY RUN
While travelling and fighting your way through the Warzone, be on the lookout for Supply Run Contracts. Upon activation, you and your squad (if applicable) will be directed to a nearby Buy Station. Reach it within the time limit to get a discount on Buy Station purchases.
JUGGERNAUT MODE
Ready up with a Juggernaut Suit in the Juggernaut Royale mode. Find one of the airdropped care packages to become the Juggernaut and use the mini-gun to attack enemies and vehicles. Once a Juggernaut is sent to the Gulag, a new Juggernaut care package will drop on the map, so do your best to capture the suit and take on any squad that stands in your way.
SPOTTER SCOPE
Think of this as a high-powered scope without the glint; this re-usable scope allows you to scan the environment around you and mark enemies without being detected. Perfect for scouting ahead, the Spotter Scope is a great tool for Operators who want to plan their next move while keeping a low profile.
200-PLAYER WARZONE
With this update, Verdansk will now be able to hold up to 200 players in Battle Royale Quads. That means 50 Quads of Operators fighting each other and the encroaching circle collapse.
This new player count makes Warzone an even bigger Battle Royale experience, so get ready to drop in alongside 199 other members of this millions-strong community to cause havoc.
