Modern Warfare update adding 2 new maps and Hardpoint mode

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare will get two new multiplayer maps and Hardpoint mode on all platforms on Friday November 8.

Infinity Ward confirmed on Twitter that the latest Modern Warfare patch will add the Shoot House multiplayer map as well as Krovnik Farmland, which is exclusive to Ground War mode, plus Hardpoint, in which teams fight to capture a single, rotating area of the map.

Infinity Ward said on Wednesday it was gearing up to release a new Call of Duty: Modern Warfare update designed to improve stability on all platforms.

The studio has already released several Modern Warfare updates designed to reduce crashes reported by PC, Xbox One and PS4 players, but some users are still encountering stability problems.

“Pending any unexpected issues, we’ve got an update rolling out over the next few days that improves stability across all platforms, fixes bugs, weapon tuning, footsteps, claymores, and more,” Infinity Ward senior communications manager Ashton Williams tweeted.

Williams said in follow-up messages that the stability improvements will hopefully eliminate crashes, that some of the upcoming bug fixes are for Spec Ops mode, and that if testing goes well, changes will be made to the 725 shotgun which some users say is overpowered.

Activision also revealed on Thursday that Call of Duty: Modern Warfare’s first Battle Pass will launch in December.
