Infinity Ward releases the patch notes for the latestCall of Duty: Infinite Warfareupdate, detailing changes coming to multiplayer as well as Zombies in Spaceland.
Call of Duty: Infinite Warfarehas been available for a couple of weeks now, giving Infinity Ward plenty of time to observe the community and determine if any changes need to be made. Well,Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare’s first significant patch since launch is now available, rolling out to the masses and making a number of changes to the game’s multiplayer mode as well as Zombies in Spaceland.
On the multiplayer side of things, players will notice a few new playlists have been added, such asHardcore Kill Confirmed, Hardcore Free for All, and Infected. Besides a number of other tweaks and bug fixes, though, perhaps the most important change coming toInfinite Warfare’sonline multiplayer componentis the attempt to balance the overpowered Volk assault rifle.
After downloading the new patch, players will discover that the Volk isn’t quite as deadly as it was before. The gun has been nerfed in an attempt to make it a little more balanced, with Infinity Ward reducing its damage range, reducing its hip fire accuracy, and giving it more of a kick when players aim down the sights with the weapon. These changes should go a long way in making the Volk a fairer weapon in the online arenas.
As previously stated, the new patch forInfinite Warfarealso addresses the game’sZombies in Spacelandmode. As is the case with the multiplayer, most of the changes in Zombies in Spaceland are bug fixes and addressing minor technical issues. However, one change Infinity Ward is making to solo play may make the game a bit easier for those that prefer to fight zombies as a lone wolf.
With the new update, players will no longer lose the round automatically if they go down whenDavid Hasselhoffis active. For the uninitiated, celebrity David Hasselhoff can be summoned from the heavens by completing challenges for N3IL the robot, and he helps players kill zombies for a few rounds before blasting off into space again. Since the round will no longer end automatically when playing in solo with Hasselhoff, presumably this means he will be able to revive downed players, which should make tasks likecompleting the Easter Eggless stressful as a solo player.
For the most part, it seems the changes Infinity Ward is making toCall of Duty: Infinite Warfareare for the better. The overall goal is to makeInfinite Warfareas balanced as possible, and hopefully nerfing the Volk gun and making things easier for solo Zombies players will help the studio accomplish that.
