Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 1.07 Update: What’s New

You can download the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 1.07 update for PS4, Xbox One, and PC.

The update fixes a wide range of issues and it also times up with the new Call of Duty: Modern Warfare maps that launch today on all systems as part of the free DLC strategy for the game. This is the first set of new maps, but it is one of many updates fro the game.

You will need to set aside a little extra time to download the patch as it is a hefty one at over 8GB on consoles. This adds to the hefty Call of Duty: Modern Warfare download time if you are just getting into the game. Here’s how big the 1.07 update is.

• PS4 – 8.5 GB
• Xbox One – 8.505 GB
• PC – ~8 GB

The new 1.07 update is live on all systems and you can download it now. If you have your console or PC set up properly, this should automatically download even with your console in sleep mode. That said, if you plan to play this weekend, you may want to turn on your console and check to make sure the update is installed before you plan to play.

Fixes

• Backend fixes to prevent crashes and improve stability across all platforms, include dev errors, and various performance fixes.

• 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.

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.

PERKSZ

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.

We’ve increased the occlusion percentage to filter footstep sounds behind geometry and adjusted the footstep volume at a distance. We have another large footstep change coming in the next update which will make crouch and ADS movement significantly quieter. Stay tuned!
