Modern Warfare And Warzone Update 1.29 Patch Notes - Private Matches Added To Warzone

By Nick FarrellEvening Editor

Infinity Ward’s rolling out a patch for Warzone and Modern Warfare, which can now be pre-loaded or downloaded fully on your platform of choice. 

This update is coming on the week of the release of Black Ops Cold War, which is building up to be one of the best Call of Duty's in recent years.

Now, a new update is here and there is a lot to unpack.

Here are the patch notes!

Update 1.29 Patch Notes

This update has now made Warzone a fully independent game to Modern Warfare.

Overall file sizes are as follows:

  • PlayStation 4: 33.2GB
  • Xbox One: 33.2GB
  • PC: 39.3GB

Infinity Ward has also optimised game files to reduce the overall size of the game by over 25GB.

Although it was appearing in the 'Message of the Day' that Cold War weapons would be added to Warzone on the 13th, expected to be part of this update, this is not the case. This was in fact an error.

  • Tracer Pack: Sakura Edition- Maruyama - The dynamic icon appears to have a minor gap between the barrel and body of the weapon when the Compensator is equipped on the FTAC 13.5" Compact barrel. This has been fixed 

PC

  • To help with patch sizes and disk space, high-resolution textures will now be downloaded while playing, using On-Demand Textures Streaming: On-Demand Textures Streaming is located in the Options, under the Graphics tab and in the Details & Textures section.
