What’s included in the MW2 50 GB update? The makers of Modern Warfare 2 are working to find solutions for the most troublesome problems as soon as they arise given the game’s several obvious problems at launch, including annoying modifications and game-breaking bugs.
Infinity Ward has released the game’s first official update barely one week after its debut. While the patch fixes multiple game-breaking bugs and general performance issues, no significant gameplay adjustments have yet been made.
In addition, gamers may now utilize the new weapon tuning tool again after it had been completely removed just a few days before.
MW2 50 GB update: Modern Warfare 2 November 3 patch notes
Modern Warfare 2 has restored the ability to tune weapons. When it first launched, this special Gunsmith function caused numerous lobby problems on different platforms, leading developers to temporarily remove it. Thankfully, problems seem to be fixed, and gamers can now customize attachments as they see fit.
Players found a bug that effectively rendered anyone using a Riot Shield invincible. The developers are working on a more long-lasting fix, however clever members of the community discovered that Molotov cocktails and Thermites functioned as a countermeasure to the glitch.
Despite not significantly altering the maps, Infinity Ward claimed to have fixed numerous exploits and geometry flaws since the game’s release.
Poor UI design has been a contentious subject among the community, and the creators promised to improve it. They will also provide additional details in the Season 1 update.
Our first #ModernWarfare2 patch notes are here. Thank you for an amazing first week!https://t.co/o1lUXrjPc7

MW2 50 GB update: Modern Warfare 2 November 3 patch notes
Check out Modern Warfare 2 November 3 patch notes.
General updates
- We’ve addressed a number of crashes affecting players across all platforms including the bug that caused certain players partied-up in game to crash when matchmaking. Last night’s update should provide additional stability in terms of crashing. We will continue to monitor live issue reports and provide resolutions as soon as we are able.
- We have made general game improvements including:
- Fix for various camos not unlocking during progression.
- Fixed framerate drop issues.
- Addressed known freezing issues.
- Overall performance improvements.
- Added fixes for stuttering and lag issues.
PC
- A recent NVIDIA hotfix addressed some critical issues. Please make sure you are running the game on drivers 526.61.
- The PC benchmark map has been updated with a more accurate reading of the FPS display.
- Be sure to follow our friends at Beenox for additional updates for MW2 on PC.
Weapons
- We are actively collecting weapon performance/usage data and will provide detailed updates on weapon-balancing with the launch of Season 01.
- Last week we disabled the attachment tuning feature due to an issue affecting players with 4 or more tuned attachments equipped at once. We re-enabled attachment tuning in last night’s update so players should not encounter further issues equipping attachments on a weapon.
Multiplayer
- Enemy or live ping will remain disabled in multiplayer until a fix is implemented with the launch of Season 01. This is due to a bug where ping remained on some players after death. KBM players are currently still able to danger ping.
- The player icon on the minimap will no longer disappear after a player is revived in certain modes.
Maps/Playlists
- We have added Breenbergh Hotel into Third Person Moshpit
- There are no significant map changes, but we have patched various exploits and geometry bugs in the days since launch. We’ll continue to address small fixes through daily updates.
UI/UX
- We continue to refine our UI and will have more details in the Season 01 launch notes.
- In addition to changes that we have already made, we are also actively tracking live issues. Some of the known issues at present include:
- We are aware of the following issues and fixes are in the works
- Riot shield provides invincibility against chopper gunner and VTOL
- DDOS Field upgrade availability bug
- A bug affecting helicopter height, which allows them to leave the map in some instances
