Infinity Ward announced several key changes to Ghosts, including a focus on improving the much-maligned spawn system and refining the game for eSports tournaments.
A forum post on the Call of Duty website listed the upcoming changes planned, and promised more work in the near future.
”As we tweeted last week during UMG Philly, we’d like to announce some updates we plan to roll out as soon as possible to support competitive Call of Duty based on your feedback,” the post reads, ”These will appear as both hot fixes and TUs in the coming weeks alongside planned changes to the areas of Ghosts affecting all players, such as spawns.”
Here’s the alterations listed as forthcoming.
