Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 keeps racking up good news for the community. After confirming the return of classic features, a bet on more realistic and diverse cosmetics, and various quality-of-life improvements, another change has now been revealed that directly addresses one of the most recurring complaints of recent years.

This is a problem that almost every regular Call of Duty player has suffered from at some point. It doesn’t affect the game’s balance or maps, but it does affect something that ended up being particularly frustrating every time a major update arrived.

Modern Warfare 4 will no longer require a full game restart after each update

Infinity Ward has confirmed that Modern Warfare 4 will eliminate the need to completely restart the game after installing certain updates, a practice that had been accompanying the franchise for years and generated numerous criticisms from players.

Until now, it was common to download an update, start the game, and find a new message forcing you to restart the client to complete the process. Although it only meant a few minutes of waiting, the community had been showing its fatigue with this system, especially when it was repeated constantly after each patch or event.

• The news has been received very positively, with many players considering that this type of improvement is just as important as new gameplay features. Everything suggests that the revamped engine and changes made by Infinity Ward will allow for more efficient update management.

This improvement adds to other decisions that are generating a good reception around Modern Warfare 4, such as the return of highly requested classic features and the intention to maintain a more coherent visual identity with the game’s universe. Pending the final game test, it seems that Infinity Ward is paying special attention to many of the community’s accumulated requests over the past few years.
