It’s bit of a baffling one, as obviously you would expect armour-piercing ammo to work well against foes wearing armour. It’s not known if this temporary to fix a bug, or otherwise – but we’ll keep an eye on it and see how things pan out.

One welcomed fix comes in the form of an improvement to Proximity chat, where an issue prevented some players from hearing others. Infinity Ward has also fixed collision issues with various elements across the game that allowed players to exploit/peek/shoot through them.
