You can find the latest patch notes for Modern Warfare 3 below. We always focus on the buffs and nerfs with each update, and have also provided our opinion on the post-patch meta.
Sledgehammer are trying to win over the hearts of CoD players, and so they’ve undone all the most unpopular changes made by IW last year. But if they want to keep the goodwill of the community for very long they will need to keep making great decisions for MW3 throughout its lifecycle. And that starts with regular, intelligent balancing changes.
In this article we have the full patch notes, the patch size and a short guide on when you can expect future patches. Let’s dig in and see if the latest buff and nerfs in MW3 make any sense!

MW3 (Beta) Update Today | Patch Size
Today’s patch is less than 1 GB across all platforms. This MW3 update was just a hotpatch for the ongoing beta, and it was therefore never going to be very large.
It’s pretty shocking the game itself isn’t larger given how monstrous CoD games were just a few years ago. The devs have clearly improved at optimization.

Equipment
Battle Rage
- Reduced max duration from 10s to 6s
- Kills will no longer increase the effect duration
- Health regeneration now begins upon killing an enemy

When Does Modern Warfare 3 Get Updated?
We expect Modern Warfare 3 to receive near daily updates during the beta, but when the full game launches we predict it will be updated every Wednesday at 9 am PT (12 pm ET / 5 pm GMT / 6 pm CET). This is exactly when the last three Call of Duty games were updated each week, and we don’t see why the devs would change their workflow. They will occasionally have weeks off when they don’t push out an update, for instance on the week of Christmas.
That was everything you need to know about the Modern Warfare 3 update, we hope you found what you wanted in the patch notes!
