Le patch apporte énormément de modifications au jeu originel, des modifications destinées à équilibrer le concept et colmater les fuites. Les développeurs ont mis l’accent sur les bugs pouvant déstabiliser les parties et rendre inopérant certains Perks et Killstreaks. Ils ont aussi pensé à régler les soucis de connexion et déconnexion.
Le fameux bug du Care-Package a été finalement réglé, un bug permettant autrefois d’utiliser le Perk Hardline Pro sur les caisses des tourelles anti-aériennes et miniguns. Il corrige aussi les exécrables points de spawn responsables autrefois de la mort prématurée de nombreux joueurs décédant souvent quelques secondes après leur réapparition.
Les armes ne sont pas délaissées, loin de là. Les fusils sniper équipés de silencieux tuent enfin en un tir. Le couteau demande lui plus de précision dans son utilisation, ce dernier perd en effet en portée. Reste désormais aux responsables à publier le patch PC visant à améliorer la compatibilité avec les processeurs double cœurs.
