Users on Reddit have put together a source post on additional changes they have discovered in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare following Patch Update 1.10 (released on December 3) and Patch Update 1.11 (released on December 4) than listed in the studio’s patch notes.

Do note that none of this information is confirmed by Infinity Ward.

The reports claims that there was some additional adjustments to weapons, map playlist changes, and more that Infinity Ward did not note in their official patch notes.
