After feedback from players, the developer has tweaked and changed quite a few gameplay features including weapons, scorestreaks and more. Here are the official Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War beta changes;
Gameplay
- Adjusted tuning on the Duster Stock attachment to prevent faster sliding than intended
- Increased the cooldown on the Spy Plane to help limit their numbers in the sky at one time.
- Increased TDM score limit from 75 to 100 for better match pacing.
- Updated the Assassin Perk description for clarity.
- Slightly reduced the damage output of the Milano 821 SMG.
General
- Adjusted conditions for joining in progress to prevent players from joining matches that are about to end.
- Moved VIP Escort exclusively to the Featured playlist.
Bug Fixes
- Fixed an issue where a controller could become unresponsive when loading into a match.
- Fixed an issue with multiple Optics misaligned in ADS and blocking the player’s view, including Snappoint, Diamondback, and Hawksmoor attachments.
- Fixed a bug where players would get “UI Error 66156” when selecting “Add Activision Friends” from the Recent Players menu.
- Fixed an issue where other players’ names were not visible in the pre-match lobby.
Stability
- Fixed crashes that could occur during the Best Play in a VIP Escort match.
- Fixed a crash that could occur while selecting Operators in the front-end menu.
- Fixed a crash that could occur when a SAM Turrent missile hit a target when the turret is destroyed.
- Fixed a rare crash that could occur if a Gunboat beached for too long.
Of course, more changes will most likely arrive during the beta test. Last weekend, we saw Treyarch release a quick change to the Milano SMG after players complained about its damage and insane range.
