Modern Warfare 3 's newest update allows previously banned weapons like the BP50, Holger 556, HRM-9, and others to be equipped in Ranked Play until April 23. Feedback and data will determine whether the weapons remain unbanned. As for balance changes, both MW3 and Warzone saw the same adjustments to six weapons. Slight buffs were applied to the MTZ-556, Holger 556, Striker, and MW2 's M16. A slight nerf was applied to the RAM-9 and a more significant nerf was applied to the WSP Swarm, which had its flinch resistance decreased by 81%. Also, the Haymaker's JAK Maglift Kit was nerfed in MW3 only and a common bug causing the MORS sniper rifle's optics to become misaligned was fi

Call of Duty offers a variety of battlegrounds, from large-scale Battle Royale maps to smaller, more confined Multiplayer arenas. While many maps fit seamlessly into the game they’re featured in, some stand out as particularly unusual. With that in mind, here are some of the strangest maps in the Call of Duty franch

Player is no longer forcibly swapped to their Primary Weapon upon the destruction of an owned turret.

Treyarch, Sledgehammer Games, and the Call of Duty League are excited to share that we will begin a Weapon Evaluation this week after the success of our previous Map Evaluat

The update also significantly changed Modern Warfare 3 's frag grenades by increasing their intermediate explosive damage by 15% but decreasing their intermediate explosive damage radius by 22%, making the equipment a stronger tool that requires more throwing accuracy. Warzone received the frag's intermediate damage radius nerf but not the damage buff. The new update also implemented a variety of bug fixes and minor UI improvements, like editing a loadout during a match no longer applying an incorrect class and the MORS now displaying the correct icon in the killf

Season 5 of Modern Warfare 3 and Call of Duty: Warzone is in full swing with the developers constantly injecting new content into multiplayer and the battle royale. While the likes of the STG44 assault rifle aim to capitalize on nostalgia, the regular in-game events capture the attention of players looking to get their hands on some free rewa

If the name doesn’t give it away, Micro shrinks players down to the size of insects, with the entire map taking place on a picnic table. Players can battle it out among towering cheeseburgers and hot dogs, wall-run across soda bottles, and take cover inside boxes of soda cans. The map also includes some hidden Zombies Easter eggs , as well as interactable ants crawling across the battlefield. With its quirky design and unique setting, Micro stands out as one of the most amusing maps in Call of Duty history—though it may not be the most remembe

The latest update appears to raise the viability of SMGs in the Modern Warfare 3 meta , since the Striker, AMR9, and Striker 9 received notable changes. The Striker SMG's maximum damage range has been increased from just 9 m to 19 m, which is a 114% increase. Near-medium and far-medium damage for the Striker was also increased, and the Striker's aim down sights (ADS) time was reduced to 230ms. The Striker 9 also received a reduction in ADS timing, but the SMG's maximum damage was decreased by 16%. Slight adjustments to the AMR9 brought its damage multipliers up to 1.1x, and its sprint to fire time was reduced by 30% to 206ms. Overall, these SMGs should feel more responsive and consistent in the meta going forw

Sticking with Infinite Warfare maps with Turista , a Multiplayer map that arrived alongside Scrap with the debut of the Continuum DLC. While Scrap was already unusual, Turista takes things even further. The map is set in a luxurious holiday resort, which may or may not be located on a terraformed Mars. It is surrounded by a vast ocean and dense, jungle-like flora—but that’s far from the strangest p

Call of Duty 's next major update is expected to arrive with Season 3 Reloaded in early May. As for the franchise's future, a dataminer recently claimed to reveal many of the weapons, killstreaks, and equipment coming in Call of Duty 2024 , including the potential return of the Last Stand pe

Heading to the moon might be one of the most outlandish settings in Call of Duty , but surprisingly, it has happened twice. The first instance was the aptly named Zombies map, Moon, while the second was the Infinite Warfare Multiplayer map, Scrap. Scrap arrived in Infinite Warfare with the Continuum DLC , and while the moon itself isn’t the most unusual setting for a game that literally takes place in space, what makes it strange is that the map is nothing more than a scrapyard rather than a futuristic, high-tech moon b

The Fpsrealm.xyz official website Call of Duty blog revealed patch notes for the November 21 Modern Warfare 3 update, which features multiple weapon changes for assault rifles and SMGs. Firstly, the Holger 556 assault rifle received nerfs to damage multipliers for head, neck, upper-torso, arm, and hand damage. The Holger 556's sprint to fire time was increased from 210ms to 231ms, so players will notice a slight delay when proceeding to fire the assault rifle directly after sprinting. The FR 5.56 received the exact same sprint to fire nerf as the Holger 556 with the former getting multiple damage nerfs and damage multiplier reductions. What's more, Sledgehammer Games nerfed the DG-58 assault rifle's overall damage and increased the burst delay from 100ms to 12
