Activision and Infinity Ward have released a brand new update for Call of Duty Modern Warfare. The new update adds a new Gunfight Map and a new Multiplayer Map. Moreover, it addresses some out of map exploits, and brings numerous gameplay fixes and weapon balance tweaks.

Going into more details, the May 18th Update adds the fire throwing knife to restricted equipment for CDL. It also fixes some out of map exploit across various maps. Additionally, it fixes a bug where players could take the ATV out of the map on Aniyah Palace, as well as an XP exploit in Hardpoint.
