Some of the gameplay tuning we've mentioned earlier, and now that it's finally live, we'd love to hear your feedback in the comments or over at the Forum. The AK74U, Second Chance, PSG1, RC-XD and suppressed sniper rifles have all been tuned so keep your eyes out for that.
In addition to the gameplay tuning and bug fixes, Treyarch also added new Contracts and a pre-match timer for Local Area Network/System Link matches.
A full list of patch notes can be found below.
