The update rebalances an assortment ofModern Warfare 3weapons, including nerfs to the BP50 and BAS-B. Season 2 Reloaded also gives slight to moderate buffs to the Bruen Mk9, WSP-9, SVA 545, certain Sidewinder and RAM-9 attachments, the MTZ-762’s JAK Heretic Carbine Kit, the AMR-9’s JAK Ettin Double Barrel Kit, and more. Also, the XRK Stalker and KATT-AMR’s aim-down-sight times are slightly reduced, making the two sniper rifles slightly more lethal. The new update also fixesCall of Duty’s underbarrel launcher exploit, which allowed users to fire unlimited, semi-automatic grenades.
Additionally,Modern Warfare 3’s Shipmentis replaced with Shipmas, the Christmas-themed version of the popular map, and Dome is added into Quick Play. As for broad gameplay changes, a user’s crosshair now transitions directly to the center of their screen after aiming down sight, instead of easing towards it, which Sledgehammer says should improve precision and responsiveness when aiming. Season 2 Reloaded also makes a significant UI improvement by allowing users to track up to five challenges, which are displayed in-game on a user’s pause menu and in the lobby.
The update also makesModern Warfare 3’s attachmentsmuch easier to browse by allowing users to filter them by subcategories in the Gunsmith menu. For example, users can now filter optics into various groups such as Hybrid, Thermal, and 2.5x, or filter underbarrels by Hand Stops, Angled Grips, and Undermounted Weapons. Also, music from Hans Zimmer’s MW2 Music Pack now plays again during matches. And, like most major updates, Season 2 Reloaded introduces a wide variety of bug fixes.
