MW2 & Warzone November 1 update patch notes: stability improvements, exploit fixes, more

Infinity Ward dropped an update for Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone that addresses a long list of bugs, exploits, and game-crashing issues.

All eyes have turned to Modern Warfare 3, as campaign early access is just about to begin. Players who preorder the game will have the opportunity to play through all 15 missions and earn rewards, such as Operators, a weapon blueprint, and XP tokens.

However, we still have over a week before the real festivities kick off and MW3 releases worldwide. When the servers go live, it’s safe to assume that it will be all hands on deck for every Activision studio, working on updates and ensuring a smooth launch.

So it only makes sense that the devs want to make sure Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone are in a good state before changing priorities. With that being said, here is everything included in one of the last MW2 updates.
