Modern Warfare devs fix Dead Silence following pro player pressure Infinity Ward have dropped an update for Modern Warfarer after a number of Call of Duty professionals weighed in on the game\u2019s lack of Dead Silence. After weeks of waiting, Call of Duty\u2019s newest title, Modern Warfare, was finally released on October 25. The first game in the popular sub-series for almost a decade was, unsurprisingly, highly-anticipated, but it has run into some problems on the competitive side of things. Some players have complained about the map design, while Seth \u2018Scump\u2019 Abner pointed out that there is far more limited mobility compared to other Call of Duty titles. Yet, that\u2019s not all, as players have rallied around needing a change to the current state of Dead Silence \u2013 with many claiming that it didn\u2019t work as intended compared to recent games. Dead Silence, of course, has been a much-needed perk in game modes like Search and Destroy, but has become a field upgrade in Modern Warfare \u2013 but was seemingly broken upon the game\u2019s launch. OpTic Gaming\u2019s Kenny \u2018Kenny\u2019 Williams noted that he felt like using Dead Silence was purely to run faster instead of being able to move quietly. I’m popping Dead Silence just to run faster, at least that’s how it feels. \u2014 :flag-ph:Kenny (@Kuavo) October 27, 2019 Some, like New York Subliners Doug \u2018Censor\u2019 Martin pointed out that it should go back to being a perk and provide complete cover from making a sound while moving. His point was backed up by teammate Dillon \u2018Attach\u2019 Price and former world champion Christopher \u2018Parasite\u2019 Duarte \u2013 who both wanted it changed back to a perk \u2013 as well as making a few other slight changes to the game. Please add Dead Silence into a perk 2 slot and make it 100% silent @InfinityWard \u2014 Censor (@Censor) October 27, 2019 Things MW needs to become a better game. \u2013 Dead silence as a perk \u2013 Enemies show up on Mini map in pubs \u2013 Trophy system needs to be equipment \u2013 Thermals should be able to see people through smoke\u2014 NYSL Attach (@Attach) October 27, 2019 Other players, though, took their thoughts a step further than just pointing out what they believed needs to be changed. OpTic\u2019s Austin \u2018SlasheR\u2019 Liddicoat, claimed the respawn game types would \u201csuffer\u201d without the addition of Dead Silence as a perk, with Trei \u2018Zer0\u2019 Morris backing that point up. they need to do anything they can to make respawn the best it can be. dead silence is needed as a perk \u2014 NYSL (treiboi carti) (@TreiZer0) October 28, 2019 Yet, it wasn\u2019t all completely serious recommendations for changes, as some players took the chance to make some lighter jokes. Chicago CoD\u2019s Scump tweeted that the game has been without the perk altogether. NRG co-owner Hector \u2018HECZ\u2019 Rodriguez also made a joke about being able to hear everything without the Dead Silence ability. Do you hear that? Me too, because there\u2019s no Dead Silence. \u2014 Hector Rodriguez (@H3CZ) October 27, 2019 Calls from both the competitive community and casual players saw Infinity Ward spring into action, however, revealing that a fix was in the works on October 27. While they claimed it wouldn\u2019t be an instant fix, the developers dropped an update less than a day later, with Dead Silence now providing complete cover for footsteps. October 28 title update patch notes Following this Dead Silence fix, Infinity Ward pushed out a very minor title update that addressed some of the crashing issues and fixed a bug in the Special Ops mode. Here are the official patch notes, as provided on Reddit: We\u2019ve done work on the backend to help with stability and prevent crashes across all platforms.
