Simply put, the only front-facing change in Modern Warfare update 1.29 that players are likely to notice is the addition of private Warzone matches. While this is certainly an interesting feature with regard to esports, however, we’re willing to guess most average folks won’t be able to find 24 friends to fill up a minimum-size lobby. Our personal hope is that, if this initial private match implementation does well, Infinity Ward opens up opportunities for very small groups or even solo lobbies for specific scenarios. Battle royales benefit greatly from players having a safe space to practice their rotations, so why not add that kind of feature here? Fortnite has had its Battle Labs for a while now, and Apex is currently running its combat-free Olympus Preview mode. Warzone could add something similar using this new framework.
Elsewhere in the patch, though, the changes are pretty inconsequential. It’s kind of a shame actually, because so many fans are waiting for the debut of the Butterfly Knife weapon. Activision confirms it’s technically included as part of this update, but it won’t be released this week. It’s inclusion certainly would have made this download a bit more exciting. For now, just enjoy those bug fixes.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare is available now on PS4, Xbox One and PC.
