INFORMATION SUBJECT TO CHANGE!
I can only assure that this information is 90% correct, as right now there is no official patch notes.
(Edit: Official Xbox Notes were released, see below. Official Playstation notes, are yet to be seen.)

A new patch as graced both the Xbox 360 and the Playstation 3 this morning.

The patch hit for Xbox users around 5:45 AM EST US this morning, which would be 2:45AM PST US.

Playstation users patch was supposed to drop at 2AM PST US time (5AM EST US Time) according to Robert Bowlings Twitter post seen here - You must login or register to view this content.
(Authors note: Can't confirm if patch did or did not drop for PS3, don't play MP games on the PS3.)
(Edit: PS3 Patch IS out.)

In said patch is the following:

Xbox:


  • EMERGENCY Fix for DLC Maps Licensing problem, where only the Premium account on the Xbox could play the new maps. All accounts on the Xbox will now be able to play DLC maps, PROVIDED a Premium account downloaded and licensed the maps to that console.

    • See Official Statement here - You must login or register to view this content.


Playstation 3:


    [*=left]Improved Voice Chat Quality
    [*=left]Theater Fixes
    [*=left]Weapon Balances.

      [*=left]Unknown at this time what weapon balances have been made.

        [*=left]Nerf to Striker and buff to all other shotguns. - Via ~ You must login or register to view this content.



For the Playstation 3 this is patch version 1.0.8. A version which has been on the Xbox 360 since last month.

The version that the Xbox just currently received is patch version 1.0.9. This patch version 1.0.9 is currently in certification at Sony for Playstation users.The reason for the delay between patch 1.0.7 -1.0.8 for the Playstation 3 is due to exclusive updates in the patch for Playstation users according to Bowling. Same goes for 1.0.9. 1.0.9 should be out on the Playstation 3 within a few weeks, hosting the same enhancements, fixes, and updates as stated above.

Xbox Players thoughts?
So Playstation users, does the game seem to have been improved for you all?

Well Infinity Ward is EXTREMELY LAZY and Robert Bowling is a piece of lazy ****ing shit, I Googled my ass off for a half hour while constructing this thread, and this information is the best I could find. I'll edit it with the truly official statement whenever they get off their asses and post one. For right now though, all this information looks 100% legit.

I Googled MW3 Patch and narrowed the results down to the past 24 hours, and got this information.

I dont understand the shotgun patch at all. The only thing they needed to do to really balance the shotgun was to take e/mag, range and damage from the striker. Thats all they needed to do. Yes, i agree that all shotguns from level 1 except the striker are horrible but once you get about 500 kills you get the e/mag and they all become very useable.

Hasn't that been a(n) universal COD feature since Demo was introduced into the COD series?

Nope, they never flipped before, the enemies would spawn on one side of the map and your team would spawn on the other, they have only just started to flip after this patch which sucks for me as I like to spawn trap, but it may be a good thing for others.

Tested the Striker just now. Ext. Mags glitch is fixed, shooting 6 pellets bare and w/ ext mags. Guessing of course this also came with the buff to all other shotguns.


KSG 12 fires 9 pellets along with USAS 12
All other shotguns are not touched
Rumours of damage buff to certain ones however.....the PC data shows no change :/

SO may be hit detection changes doing it
