This week is a big one forCall of Dutyfans, asCall of Duty: Black Ops Cold Warwill finally launch this coming Friday, November 13. WhileCall of Dutyfans wait to tryBlack Ops Cold War, they can keep playingCall of Duty: Modern WarfareandCall of Duty: Warzone, which just received a beefy update that fixes some lingering issues, changes up the available playlists, and adds a big new feature to the battle royale.
Call of Duty: WarzoneUpdate 1.29 is available to download now across all platforms, with a file size of about 33GB. The update’s big news is that it adds private matches toCall of Duty: Warzone, though admittedly it is a feature that doesn’t seem as though it will get a ton of use.Call of Duty: Warzoneprivate matches include regular BR, Plunder, and Mini BR variants, with the modes requiring 50, 30, and 24 players to start, respectively. While it seems like a useful feature for those setting up official tournaments and things, it seems as though the average player is going to have difficulty setting upWarzoneprivate matches without bots. It’s unclear if bots will be added at some point down the line.

The newCall of Duty: Warzoneupdate also tweaks up the available playlists so that players can now play the standard Solos, Duos, Trios, and Quads, along with Plunder Trios. It also addresses a number ofCall of Duty: Warzonebugs and technical hiccups, which should result in a smoother overall experience for all players.
WhileCall of Duty: Warzone’s private matchesmay be the big selling point for the 1.29 update, the update also addressesCall of Duty: Modern Warfareas well, fixing bugs in campaign, multiplayer, and Spec Ops Survival. Upon downloading the update, fans will find that theCall of Duty: Modern Warfarethird-person bug no longer works, and they will also see some new featured playlists in the main menu. This includes Ground War, Gunfight, TDM Snipers Only, Hardpoint Hills and Kills, Shipment 24/7, and Shoot House 24/7.
The newCall of Duty: Warzone1.29 update also has some PC-specific features. In an effort to reduce the continuously growingCall of Duty: WarzonePC file size, the game will now use On-Demand Textures Streaming to display high resolution textures.
WithCall of Duty: Black Ops Cold War’s release date right around the corner, it’s safe to say that theModern Warfareupdates will likely slow down. However, fans can still expectCall of Duty: Warzoneto be updated regularly, with the next big content drop expected to happen on December 10 alongsideBlack Ops Cold WarSeason 1.
