It won’t be an exaggeration to say that the return of Zombies mode has played a huge role in the success of Call of Duty Black Ops Cold War. However, the game’s debut season could not satisfy the demands of the entire community. Even though Treyarch introduced many new weapons and maps for public matches, the Zombies mode only revolved around Die Maschine.

The highly anticipated Season 2 of Call of Duty Black Ops Cold War is finally here. From the looks of it, the developers have fulfilled their promise to improve the Zombies mode with new content and meta changes. Furthermore, they have also addressed platform specific issues like players crashing out of the Outbreak game mode on Xbox consoles in the latest update.
