Infinity Ward starts 2023 off with another small CoD MW2 update. This patch includes several bug fixes and a couple of general crash and battle pass changes for both MW2 and Warzone 2.

Crashing and bugs have been the tip of the iceberg when it comes to player requests but it is always good to see developers make an effort to iron these out. Bugs can quickly be exploited and change the dynamic of the game.

There has already been a small patch this year, with the dev team looking to fix a few UI bugs and glitches.
