First off, theCall of Duty: Modern WarfareJanuary 22 update will finally be adding more loadout slots. Players have been asking Infinity Ward for more loadout slots for months now, and starting tomorrow, they will have five additional slots to work with when it comes to putting together their custom classes.
Secondly, theCall of Duty: Modern WarfareJanuary 22 update will alsofix player collision issues. A few weeks ago, a bug caused player collision to be added to the game, with some thinking that Infinity Ward stealth-added it on purpose. Those who have been annoyed by the player collision will be happy to see it go after they download theMWJanuary 22 update.
It’s quite likely that theModern WarfareJanuary 22 update will have more fixes and other minor things, but fans will have to wait for the full patch notes to be sure. Regardless, what’s been announced is sure to please the community, as many have been looking forward to the addition of the Crossbow and additional loadout slots, not to mention a fix for the player collision issues.
In the meantime, one has to wonder if theModern WarfareJanuary 22 update will bring with it some playlist updates as well.Infinity Wardhas typically updated theMWplaylists on a weekly basis, but it may elect not to do so this week to give players the chance to play3v3 Gunfightfor a bit longer.
