The main feature of this update is, of course, its new maps called Aisle 9 and Hardhat. Both new additions are close-quarters arenas, so fans of SMGs will like what they see once they hop into the game. If Hardhat in particular sounds familiar, that’s because it made its debut in Modern Warfare 3 back in 2011. Since then the map has been totally reworked in the latest graphics engine to offer tense gunfights with the level of quality players expect from today’s Modern Warfare. As for Aisle 9, the versatile map currently has its own dedicated playlist featuring TDM, Kill Confirmed, Grind and Domination. In other words, despite its size, this is a versatile play space that suits many match types.

For those who are just interested in Warzone, update 1.21 features some exciting new additions there as well. Battle Royale can now be enjoyed in Solos, Trios and Quads, there’s a new Blood Money playlist and the Armor Box acts as a cool way to refill bullets when you need them most. More weapon types have been added to the Gulag as well, which means those tense 1v1s will be more varied and exciting than they’ve ever been. On the buffs and nerfs side of the equation, it remains to be seen how nerfs to the Renetti and buffs to the SCAR might alter the meta. While the former seems a bit heavy-handed and the latter too light, weapon balance and content alike look to be improved in major ways with Modern Warfare update 1.21.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare is available now on PS4, Xbox One and PC.
