MW3 and Warzone May 8 update patch notes: Tac-sprint and reload glitch fix, Ranked Play changes, more

The tac-sprint glitch finally gets fixed.

Warzone finally rolled out an update to fix the automatic tac-sprint glitch that prevented players from reloading and addressed other bugs across MW3 and Zombies.

Raven Software already previously confirmed that a fix was on the way for the automatic tactical sprint setting from interrupting reload animation, but that patch is officially live in Warzone. If players turned off the setting as a temporary workaround, the devs reassured users that they are safe to re-enable their original settings.

Additionally, in MW3, Reloads are no longer canceled upon moving when the Automatic Tactical Sprint setting is enabled after this update. And MW3 Ranked Play restricted a few items that were introduced in the Season 3 Reloaded update. Here is everything you need to know about the small patch.
