A tweet was released today by the multiplayer co-director of Infinity Ward Joe Cecot. The tweet revealed that the developer Infinity Ward has plans to add an update to Call of Duty: Modern Warfare in order to fix a specific weapon, the 725 Shotgun. The tweet revealed that the update intends to fix the weapon’s effectiveness as the weapon is apparently too powerful even at a range.
In a series of tweets, Cecot revealed that Infinity Ward plans to carefully modify the weapon so as to not lose the weapons core values, however the studio has no plans to remove the 725 Shotgun from the game. The main occurrence that the update intends to fix is demonstrated in a video shown by Cecot in which one player uses the 725 Shotgun in order to shoot a player from across the map. Cecot then hints that “changes are still to come” in regards to the video content.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare released a few weeks ago for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC and the game brought in $600 million in sell-through across the globe during its first three days of release. The game also set new records for the highest digital pre-order and the highest three day sales on PlayStation 4. It is currently unknown when the updates will be added to Call of Duty: Modern Warfare but more information will likely be released soon.
