Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare has been out for a week now, and – naturally – developer Sledgehammer Games has kept a close eye on player feedback. As a result, Call of Duty’s newest full-time developer has detailed Advanced Warfare’s incoming patch, which includes fixes which range from prestige resetting to connectivity optimisations, weapons’ reloading, and more. Check out the official list below.

• Prestige reset issues, including emblems and challenges
• Adjustment to the in-game chat names notifications placement
• Fix for weapon reloads counting as speed reloads in certain circumstances

Moreover, publisher Activision has addressed queries regarding Advanced Warfare’s supposed dedicated servers. “Advanced Warfare employs game servers hosted at data centers globally on all platforms and listen servers as part of our proprietary matchmaking system. Our goal is to ensure the best possible connection and greatest gameplay experience regardless of location and time of day.”

Call of Duty Advanced Warfare represents the eleventh primary installment in the Call of Duty series, and the first one developed primarily by Sledgehammer Games, after Neversoft was merged into Infinity Ward in May 3rd, 2014 and was officially made defunct on July 10th, 2014. In 2054, a terrorist organization known as the KVA initiates the first global terrorist attack in history by simultaneously destroying the nuclear reactors of developed countries around the globe, including the United States. As the result, Private Military Corporations (PMCs) have become the dominant armed forces for countless nations, and represent the first line of defense against this new enemy. You play as Jack Mitchell (voiced by Troy Baker) – a former U.S. marine who has joined one such PMC – called Atlas – who takes on different kinds of assignments across the globe from the company’s CEO – Jonathan Irons (voiced by Kevin Spacey) – as he begins his war as the promoter of democracy all over the world to change the global balance of power.
