Call of Duty: Modern Warfare update adds more Spec Ops missions and multiplayer modes
A chunky update for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare is out today, introducing new Special Operations, along with a Classic Spec Ops mission, more multiplayer modes, and assorted tweaks and bug fixes.
The new Spec Ops missions are Harbinger and Brimstone, while the Classic Spec Ops roster gets the Door Kick mission. Also new to Classic Spec Ops is a rating system based on how long it took you to finish the mission, along with accompanying rewards. These are XP and MP unlocks and are determined by your star rating.
In multiplayer, there's a new playlist, Realism Moshpit, which includes Domination, Hardpoint, Headquarters and Kill Confirmed. Gun Game, the free-for-all mode where players get new weapons as they get more kills, is also returning. It wasn't introduced until Black Ops, but it's shown up in every game since, including Modern Warfare Remastered.
The update also includes some tweaks to weapons, the infantry assault vehicle and perks, like fixing Spotter, which wasn't marking certain things in FFA. Other notable changes include the ability to see through smoke with thermal scopes and being able to disable the spawn camera in private matches. There are also some PC-specific improvements, which you can check out below.
- Added an option to hide Friend requests and Party Invitations
- Several fixes to prevent crashes and improve stability
- Fixed an issue where the boot up sequence volume would be too loud
- Various keybinding adjustments
- Players are now able to back out of the Gesture and Spray Wheel by clicking anywhere
- More fixes to prevent hitching/stuttering during cutscenes
- Fixed an issue where the Main Menu music would not play when users activated the Skip Introduction Movie option
- Fix for an error that could occur when attempting to manage a party
- Multiple fixes for different Aspect Ratios on various menus/screens in the game
- Fix for a bug where the XP Token shortcut key would also open Nvidia Highlights feature simultaneously (Now on "F" key)
- Fix for a bug where some achievements would appear as completed even though they were
Valve removed 1000 games from Steam because publishers were 'abusing' Steamworks
Update: Shortly after our story went up, developer Alexandra Frock noted on Twitter that "a good chunk" of the removed games were linked to a single Russian publisher, Dagestan Technology, that appeared to be operating under a large number of different names. Selecting "related apps" for individual listings of banned games reveals how they're connected: Sly Pigs, for instance, is five steps removed from Running Sausage, but only two from BattleStar Mazay.
It's a bit like a Steam version of Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon: Some of the connections in the "related games" lists aren't immediately obvious, but the steps do lead from one point to the next, and Frock appears to be onto something. A cached version of the Dagestan Technology Steam Curator page lists 48 games and 4 DLCs, but the live page is now empty.
Valve didn't reveal any specifics on involved companies or their transgressions, but it did indirectly confirm that Dagestan wasn't the only publisher involved, saying that the removals were the result of bad behavior on the part of multiple publishers. "We recently discovered a handful of partners that were abusing some Steamworks tools," a rep explained. "We emailed all the affected partners."
Original story:
Something strange appears to be happening on Steam, where, as chronicled by Steam Tools, roughly 1000 games have been suddenly removed from the system. Some of the "banned" games look a little sketchy but others seem like fairly normal games (for Steam at least), and have been on the platform for months or years.
Glasswinged Ascension, for instance, has been on Steam since mid-2017, and is still listed on IndieDB, while Mind Trap has been around for about the same length of time. Electric Highways had more than 1300 very positive user reviews before it was removed (we also included it in a 2018 Free Games of the Week roundup) and Masha Rescues Grandma, a casual puzzle-adventure released in 2016 and removed a couple of hours ago, actually has a walkthrough video on YouTube with nearly 49,000 views.
None of the removed games are mainstream by any means, and there's a lot of garbage to sift through, but that's Steam in a nutshell. And given its anything goes approach to new releases, there's nothing in the list that leaps out as being especially out of line.
By my count, 982 games have been removed from the service over the past four hours. It's very odd and we're not sure why it's happening, but we've reached out to Valve for more information and we'll update when we figure it out.

Hint: Play Basketball
Head to the left of Sweet's house (and go into the back yard) in your neighborhood to find a basketball court. Pick up the ball and follow the onscreen instructions to play some hoop.
Hint: Easy Firearms
Head out behind your house in Los Santos and go down into the aqueduct. Go down the slope and head right along the walkway to locate a nice Mini SMG. You'll also find a Pistol in Sweet's backyard.
Hint: Easy Body Armor
Go out behind the house and into the aqueduct to the left. Go down the sloped wall of the aqueduct and head left. On an incline underneath the bridge, you'll find a handy vest.
Hint: Easy Money for Cleaning the Hood
Anytime you kill a drug dealer, you will net $2000. Drug dealers normally wear black jackets and stand still waiting for people to talk to them. Kill as many as you can find to build up your cash stash quickly.
HINT: weapon skill in REUNITING THE FAMILIES mission
To earn some easy weapon skill, go and practice with an AK-47 before starting this mission until you reach Gangster level. Then while in the mission, blast on as many cop cars and bikes as possible. You'll deal out so much damage that there is a very high chance of you reaching Hitman weapon skill level.
HINT: EASY WEAPON SKILL
To earn easy weapon skill, go and get any two cars and place them in your Grove St home garage. Then with the weapon of your choice shoot the cars until they are nearly on fire. Then walk away from the garage so it can close. Walk up to the garage again and you will notice that the cars are repaired. Repeat this process as it is one of the fastest ways to earn weapon skill in the game. To check your progress with weapon skill, switch to the weapon that you want to check and then go to STATS in the menu and then go down to WEAPONS. The number there is how many skill points you have.
