Modern Warfare 2 is huge. Massive. The launch of Warzone 2 has attracted over 25 milion people, so there are a lot of eyes on the game's early updates. Luckily for Activision, Infinity Ward, and Raven, the first massive update has done some particularly impressive things.

One of the top-level changes is the reintroduction of the CDL modes (that's Call of Duty League, if you're curious) which were removed after some bugs were discovered in the playlists.

Millions of players will now have an easier time doing this one specific thing.

But whilst that is good, there's something even better for players that like to put a bit of bling on their loadouts: a better navigation option for all your locked and unlocked camos.

It might sound small, but when you've spent most of your between-match time idly scrolling through hundreds of different camos trying to find something that looks half-decent on the Kastov 762, say, having the option to see what is actually unlocked and slap it on your favourite weapon without hassle is a god-send.

And it's not just me and my appreciation of clean, readable UI that's into this, either; check out the MW2 reddit and you'll see other people joining the love-in.

"OK, this is actually a fantastic change," says one commentor. "I can finally figure out what camo looks best on a weapon, rather than just picking the first one that looks kinda cool because I can’t be assed to scroll through 100 locked camos."

"Finally, jeeze," says another. "Now give me a better UI so I can see more than six at once and I can shift through groups without skipping over four of them at a time."

There's still some way to go, then. But this is a good start. For the rest of the patch notes check out the list below.
