CALL OF Duty Warzone just got a major update, bringing with it a bunch of playlist changes and general bug fixes.
Released Wednesday for Xbox One, PS4 and PC, the download also alters the damage of some guns, including the SP-R 208.

The changes were announced by US game developer Infinity Ward for both Warzone and its parent game, Modern Warfare.
Among them is the ability to cut down how much space the huge games use up on your PC hard drive.
Infinity Ward said: “This update includes mode-specific uninstall options for PC MW owners.
“Instructions on how to do this will be included in the patch notes coming later this evening, so stay tuned.”

Depending on your region, the update should be around 10 GB.
The major changes are further tuning of both the Kar98 and the SP-R 208.
While the minimum damage of the Kar98 has been boosted, that same metric has been nerfed for the SP-R 208.
As far as playlists go, Infinity Ward has removed Blood Money Quads and added Plunder Quads.

Call of Duty Black Ops Cold War – what is it?
Call of Duty Black Ops Cold War is the latest game in the hugely popular war sim series.
It hits shelves in November and plays out at the height of nuclear tensions between the US and Soviet Russia.
The storyline follows the real-world events of the Cold War – such as the Vietnam War – but will dramatise some elements.
An early teaser trailer revealed has that the game will include a hunt for Perseus – a spy working against the US for Russia.
The Cold War was a period of major tension between the USA and Soviet Union, but wasn’t an outright war in the conventional sense.
Instead, both nations supported “proxy wars” – regional conflicts used to gain global influence.
And the fact that both nations controlled nuclear weaponry meant that neither side was willing to risk a war proper.
The period is generally said to have run from 1947 through to 1991 – when the Soviet Union was dissolved.
Out November 13, Black Ops Cold War starts at £59.99 for a standard copy rising all the way to £89.99 for the Ultimate Edition.
