The MW2 and Warzone 2 update patch notes for today, April 19, have been revealed. Several important changes have been made to season 3, particularly in terms of DMZ and the controversial Roze bundle. Specifically, it adds a one-minute cooldown before Roze can use her instant UAV killstreak.
The majority of the patch notes tackle bug fixes, but some welcome adjustments have been made to both Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone 2.0 too. These are mainly for players who are using a controller instead of a keyboard and mouse.
