Infinity Ward's Robert Bowling (You must login or register to view this content.) has given us some information regarding future updates on the title Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3.

Earlier in the week, Modern Warfare 3 players on the Xbox 360 received the deployment of patch 1.09 for the game, which will later on be released for Playstation 3 players on February 28th. The patch that was released contained "in-game Clan Ranks" for Clan Operations, there were also five new prestige levels being added (prestiges 11-15).

However, Robert recently mentioned there will be more "tweaks" being added onto the game soon. When he was questioned about his take on FMGs and whether or not it's "way too strong", Bowling politely agreed and promised that there will be a nerf for the gun soon (within the next few days). This isn't the first nerf that the FMGs have received, back in December they and the Type 95 were reduced in statistics. Included in the topic of the Type 95 and other "popular" and more used weapons, Bowling was asked on the games gun balance, specifically the ACR, MP9, and Type 95. Bowling then claimed that that the weapons ("statically speaking"), are not the only used primary weapons on Modern Warfare 3.

On the subject of Hardcore game modes, which are usually a tradition in the Call of Duty franchise, Bowling announced that the game mode of "Hardcore HQ (Headquarters)" is a release that will come out very soon. He also said that there is some playlist changes that will be coming in the next week or so, however the exact date isn't decided yet. This also relates to what Bowling tweeted previously, which goes into the topic of older maps in the Modern Warfare series:

“let’s focus on, you know, stuff that we can just give out to everyone. That’s what I love – when I can do, like, playlist updates, and I have free reign and I’m not restricted by release dates or when it has to come out or any of that stuff, and we can just do it and it’s fun. That’s the stuff I love and that’s the stuff I want more of.”

What do you guys think about these new updates? What do you think Infinity Ward need to do to enhance the game to a new level?[/color]

hardcore HQ!!!!! rock on

Akimbo secondaries and FMG 9's have been patched so many times. Leave them alone!

The FMG's have been "nerfed" like 3 times already and each time they "nerf" it, it's the same as it was before....

Add "roll the dice" to the playlist

What exactly is 'Roll the Dice'?
I know it was modded into MW2 when that was the hype, but I never got to experience it.

Finally Hardcore HQ. Used to play it all the time on MW2

Honestly, I don't see any issues with FMG, people use them against me all the time and I kill them without issues.. It's a matter of crappy people bitching about the guns to weaken them, when the real issue is that these people suck and need to develop some skill...

From what I remember it was a Free For All-type gamemode. A "dice" was rolled and each number had a specific effect. Such as if it landed on 50 everyone's screen might turn to disco mode(flashing colors) or your character was slowed down.

(I might be wrong but this is just from what I remember)

Edit: Here's a video that shows exactly what it is.

Every time you spawn, a number between 1-100 was picked. Each number gave a different effect to you... A certain gun, maybe fast speed, stuff like that.

But 4/5 of the rolls were hack of some sort, so I doubt IW would put it in their game.
