Call of Duty Modern Warfare update 1.07 patch notes

Published November 8, 2019 6:30 PM, by TJ Denzer

Call of Duty Modern Warfare’s first major patch, update 1.07, is here, and with it comes a whole list of changes and additions for the first-person shooter. As suspected from early information on the patch, the 725 shotgun and claymore lethal ordinance took some nerfs, but the also arguably overpowered M4A1 joined them. Meanwhile, free new maps have come to the regular and Ground War playlists, changing up the flow of the game in Multiplayer and giving players new tactical battlegrounds to explore.

Call of Duty Modern Warfare update 1.07’s patch notes were released by Infinity Ward on the Modern Warfare Reddit on November 8, 2019. The two free maps included Krovnik Farm for Ground War and Shoot House for all other multiplayer PVP modes. Meanwhile, new counter options were included for riot shields and claymores. Thrown knives and thermite will properly unequip the Riot Shield from a player while explosive damage has been adjusted to work properly around it now. Meanwhile, the claymore’s activation and damage range were adjusted, as well as the damage being adjusted to non-lethal if the claymore is destroyed by bullets.

 

Battle chatter has also been adjusted in the game to be less confusing or outright position revealing. Now enemies can’t hear your team’s call outs and you won’t hear your operator do callouts anymore. Moreover, the range and situations at which a call out will activate have also been adjusted to make the system less of an annoyance. Though some adjustments for footsteps were made, this patch hints that another major adjustment for footsteps is coming soon which will lighten the sounds moving in crouching or prone positions.

All of the finer patch details in Modern Warfare update 1.07 can be read below:

“What’s New

NEW FREE MAPS!

• We’ve added Krovnik Farmland to Ground War and Shoot House to Multiplayer!

NEW PLAYLISTS AND A NEW MODE!

Hardpoint is now in rotation!

• Shoot House 24/7: This includes a mixture of Team Deathmatch, Domination, Kill Confirmed, and Headquarters

General

• Backend fixes to prevent crashes and improve stability across all platforms, include dev errors, and various performance fixes.
• Fix for a few bugs where some streaks and Field Upgrades were able to be flown out of bounds without penalty. General out of bound fixes were also added.
• Fix for a bug where a player being killed by an enemy with a Variable Zoom Scope would not see the zoom function in the killcam
• Fix for the Semtex warning audio being heard at the same volume whether in a building or outside
• In Headquarters, players were able to place a Tac Insert and respawn when their team owned the point. This has been fixed.
• Fix for various collision issues across maps

• Sprint and Tactical Sprint speeds are now back to speeds in Beta
• Fix for a bug where the progress of the bomb defusal can be seen by the team that planted the bomb

Riot Shield

• Fixed an issue where the throwing knife and Thermite weren’t causing the shield to go on the player’s back when thrown. We’ve also fixed the issue where explosive splash damage wasn’t working consistently. We’ll continue to tune the Riot Shield in future updates.

Claymores

• Detonating an enemy claymore with bullets is now non-lethal when at full health. We’ve also reduced the trigger and damage radius and also reduced the damage width to better match the trigger width.

Battle Chatter

• Removed the ability for enemies to hear when they’ve been called out by the opposing team. We also adjusted the enemy callouts so they are never from your Operator. Enemy callouts now use a more restricted cone at the hip and even more restricted in ADS when calculating whether or not to trigger. We’ll continue to monitor this and make additional tweaks to Battle Chatter in future updates.

Mounting

• Slight increase to recoil while mounting.

Perks

• E.O.D. now clamps damage to a non-lethal amount, assuming the player is at full health.

Lighting

• Continued updates to player visibility in dark windows and dark areas.

Footsteps

Challenges/Progression/Rank

• Fix for a bug where the Infiltrator challenge was not tracking properly.
• Fix for launchers not giving XP when shooting down killstreaks.
• Fix for a bug where planting or defusing 5 bombs in Cyber Attack or SnD was not tracking properly.
