The much-anticipated Season 1 Reloaded update for ‘Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3’ and ‘Warzone’ has been met with a mix of excitement and frustration. The update, poised to bring significant changes and new content, has unfortunately been plagued with game-breaking bugs and critical issues, leading to delays in some of the most awaited features.
Warzone Update: A Tumultuous Ride
‘Warzone’, a key component of the Season 1 Reloaded update, has encountered several major bugs that have affected its playability. The developer acknowledges multiple issues, including game crashes, bugged loadout drops, and a problem causing distorted geography. One of the more concerning issues is the malfunction of Precision Airstrike killstreaks, which no longer provide an alert to targeted players.
In response to these challenges, the developers have decided to delay Warzone’s new Champion’s Quest nuke challenge. This decision is part of a broader effort to resolve performance-related issues that have emerged since the update’s launch.
Modern Warfare 3’s Multiplayer Content: Facing Unexpected Setbacks
The update’s impact isn’t limited to ‘Warzone’; ‘Modern Warfare 3’s multiplayer content has also faced setbacks. The highly anticipated competitive Ranked Play mode, originally scheduled to launch with the update, has been delayed. The developer cites a “recently discovered critical issue” as the reason for this postponement, indicating a commitment to ensuring a smooth and fair competitive experience for players.

Despite these challenges, some parts of the midseason update remain unaffected and playable. ‘Modern Warfare 3’ players can still enjoy the limited-time Supe’d Up multiplayer mode, inspired by the TV show ‘The Boys’, where players get to use superpowers. Additionally, the Zombies mode has been enhanced with a new Warlord boss, providing fresh challenges for players to tackle.
