It seems that the latest update for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare has made a subtle change to the Crash map. Reddit user Lumenprotoplasma noticed the change and provided some photographic evidence to back it up.
Prior to the update, the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Crash map had a "head glitch" spot on the map where players were highly protected and could easily shoot enemies near the map's helicopter without really having to worry about repercussions. After downloading the new Modern Warfare update, players will notice that the wall players were abusing has now been shrunk in size, meaning players can't use this spot without being far more exposed.
This particular spot of the Modern Warfare Crash map was not particularly well-received by the community, and has been one of the most common criticisms aimed at it. Considering this, it seems likely that this change will be welcome by fans. Since this Crash map change will likely be a popular one, it's a bit odd that Infinity Ward didn't mention it in its Update 1.13 patch notes.
This isn't the first time Modern Warfare stealth-changed or added something to the game, which has led some fans to criticize patch notes for not being thorough enough. However, it's possible that not all "stealth changes" are necessarily done on purpose. Players can take the Modern Warfare player collision issue, for example. Some fans thought that Infinity Ward added player collision to Modern Warfare multiplayer on purpose and just didn't bother mentioning it in patch notes, but player collision was later revealed to be a bug with the studio working on a fix.
Crash isn't the only map that has had a slight change in the latest Modern Warfare update. Players will also notice that the large television screens on the Piccadilly map now occasionally flash an image of what appears to be a large white skull. Speculation points to this being a reference to an upcoming Modern Warfare Operator, with many predicting that the next playable character coming to the game will be none other than Modern Warfare 2's Ghost.
With Modern Warfare Season One still having a few more weeks to go before its conclusion, though, fans shouldn't expect a reveal of Ghost until next month.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare is out now for PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
