The latest update for both titles has bought in a wave of changes including the addition of Warzone Private Matches and several bug fixes to improve the playing experience.

Melee weapons in Modern Warfare and Warzone have often been a hot topic for debate. When the Kali Sticks were first added in Season 4, many players utilised their immense mobility to beat down opponents with ease.
Some went a step further and equipped the sticks on their Warzone class.
After players deemed them to be overpowered, Infinity Ward intervened and bought them in line with other melee weapons.
The Butterfly Knife may be the last weapon to be added to Modern Warfare before the release of Black Ops Cold War.
After some confusion, the entire weapon arsenal from Black Ops Cold War will be added into Warzone on December 10th, coinciding with the start of Season One.
