For those interested in what the Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone 2 April 19 update introduced to the game, here are the full patch notes.

Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone 2 Season 3 dropped on April 12, and after a week, players have been able to dig their teeth into the new content, getting to grips with the new weapons and return of one-shot Snipers.

That said, the update didn’t come without its criticisms, and Dr Disrespect certainly let his be known. There have also been a few bugs, such as the Massive Resurgence circle bug, but the devs were quick to provide a fix and also respond with a survey regarding the backlash to movement changes in Season 3.

April 19 brought a new update to the game, so for those wondering what the patch notes entail, here they are.

Warzone 2 & Modern Warfare 2 controller improvements

In this patch, the devs have improved both the “usability of controller stick rotation in Weapon Preview by preventing the weapon from sliding back and forth,” and the “Buy Station interface for Players using a controller to now start on Gear Selection.”

These may be small changes, but they should increase the quality of life for players using controllers.
