Massive changes coming to Hardpoint locations and spawns in MW3
Activision The Modern Warfare 3 January 17 patch has launched and made some massive changes to the game, especially in the game mode Hardpoint.
The January 17 patch of Modern Warfare 3 has brought massive changes to the experience, including gun updates and map changes. The patch has also added some content for Season 1 Reloaded as well as changes to Warzone.
However, the biggest changes that players might not immediately notice are tweaks to the spawn system and objective spawns in Hardpoint.
Fans of Call of Duty have struggled with how the game spawns them for years as the deathmatch gameplay experience relies heavily on safely spawning in after dying. In MW3, the developer seems keen on making sure that aspect of the game feels smooth, and spawn camping does not happen often.
