Update 8/12: The Shoot the Ship playlist is now available inCall of Duty: Modern Warfare. Original story follows.
On August 11, Infinity Ward released a new update forCall of Duty: Modern Warfareand theWarzonebattle royale that nerfed the Bruen MK9 and FAL. The hubbub surrounding this update overshadowed the other update thatCall of Duty: Modern WarfareandWarzonealso received on August 11, which changed up the playlists that are available in both standard multiplayer and battle royale.
The newCall of Duty: Modern Warfareplaylist update brings Gunfight 3v3 - Blueprint toModern Warfare, as well asBare Bones Moshpit, Hardcore Team Deathmatch, and Hardcore Kill Confirmed. The Bare Bones Moshpit letsModern Warfareplayers battle it out on a variety of different maps, but without all of the bells and whistles that are usually included inCall of Dutyonline matches. This means that there are no killstreaks, field upgrades, or perks for players to worry about. This simplifies things significantly, and should definitely appeal toCall of Dutyfans looking for a more old-school experience.

Meanwhile, the update also makes some changes to theCall of Duty: Warzoneplaylists. Upon downloading the new update,Call of Duty: Warzonefans will notice that theBlood Money varianthas been removed and replaced by standard Plunder Quads. There are some fans who greatly prefer regular Plunder over the Blood Money variant, so they are no doubt happy to see it finally make its return.
Plunder Quads isn’t the only game mode that is currently available toCall of Duty: Warzonefans. The other standard battle royale modes are also available, with Duos, Trios, Quads, and Stimulus Solos playlists ready to play. Theexperimental Mini Royale modeis also still available inCall of Duty: Warzone, though it remains to be seen how long the limited-time mode will remain in the game. Considering this, anyone interested should be sure to play it while they still can.
Something fans will notice is missing from the list ofCall of Dutyplaylists is theShoot the Ship playlist. The fan favorite Shoot the Ship playlist brings Shipment and Shoot House together, and it was previously announced to be coming to the game this week, though is nowhere to be seen. It’s quite possible that Infinity Ward is waiting to add Shoot the Ship until this weekend, as it has done similar things with popular playlists in the past.
Of course,Call of Dutyfans can expect theModern WarfareandWarzoneplaylists to continue changing throughoutSeason 5. Next week will likely bring with it yet another playlist revamp, so fans should stay tuned.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfareis out now for PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
