Update eight for Modern Warfare 3 has gone live and it brings some much needed balance to the shooter. Â Infinity Ward addressed akimbo weapons in the update, reducing the rate of fire for all dual weilding weapons. Â They also rebalanced shotguns, bringing some balance to the overpowered Striker model. Â The developer also squashed the prestige token glitch which was seeing players token-less after prestiging.
For Call of Duty video makers, YouTube upload speeds have been increased from 32k to 256k making it easier to share your glory with friends. Â It’s also said that host disadvantage/lag compensation has undergone yet further tweaks.
The update should be live shortly for all platforms. Â The first Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 DLC has also just hit Xbox Live servers and features two new maps, with monthly DLC arriving for Call of Duty: Elite premium members.
