Since its release on November 10, Modern Warfare 3 players have been steadily climbing the ranks, trying to unlock every weapon in the game. There’s no shortage of content, whether it’s diving into the new Zombies mode of MW3 or obtain all weapon camouflages in multiplayer.

Given that it’s a relatively new game, MW3 also has its share of problems. The developers then rushed to identify and correct the problems that had appeared since launch through frequent updates. However, updates do not always serve to fix bugs, as developers sometimes seek to balance or polish certain features of the game.

When the November 15 update for MW3 arrived, the developers explained that more changes were coming to improve movement in the game.

And on November 17, the developers released a new update bringing changes to movement in Modern Warfare 3, as well as several other changes.
