Modern Warfare April 21 patch notes: Cabin Fever 24/7, new Operator, more

Modern Warfare has gotten a variety of new modes and playlists for multiplayer, giving people more ways to play after the April 21 update landed across PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One.

With Modern Warfare Season 3 very much in full swing, developers Infinity Ward have pushed through a playlist update that’s injected more new content into the game.

This patch introduced a new Operator as well as a revamped playlist that keeps the fighting at a close distance. For players who wanted more intensity in their games, Infinity Ward have bringing Cranked back to Modern Warfare for more high-octane action.

Cabin Fever playlist and Cranked

Infinity Ward

Rust is the usual suspect for close-quarter fights that will feature in the Cabin Fever playlist.

The new playlist restricts the mosh pit with small-to-medium-sized 6v6 Multiplayer contests where there’s bound to be high kill-counts throughout every game.

The new Cabin Fever 24/7 playlist brings classic multiplayer modes to smaller maps like Rust, Shipment, Shoot House, Hideout, and Hackey Yard.

A lot of players know these maps for the chaotic action that springs on a dime, but the devs have also brought back Cranked, a mode where people have to constantly keep in motion to get kills before they blow up for not collecting eliminations fast enough.
