De afgelopen dagen kwamen er veel video’s voorbij van de Nemesis DLC voor Call of Duty: Ghosts, die onlangs werd aangekondigd. Deze mappack verscheen gisteren voor Xbox platformen, wat voor ontwikkelaar Infinity Ward een mooi moment was om ook een nieuwe patch voor de game vrij te geven.
Met deze patch wordt er van alles aangepakt. Zo worden enkele bugs verholpen in zowel de multiplayer als de Extinction modus, zijn er enkele nieuwe features aan de game toegevoegd en zijn sommige killstreaks wat aangepast. De patch is op moment van schrijven al wel uit voor de PlayStation 3, maar naar verwachting kunnen spelers op de PlayStation 4 de patch ook snel downloaden.
Hieronder een overzicht van alle veranderingen die de patch met zich meebrengt.
