The Call Of Duty: Black Ops Cold War multiplayer reveal event took place yesterday. The event focused on showcasing the newest elements inside of the upcoming Black Ops title. Further, it revealed actual gameplay in the alpha build of the game, which was in fact, a showdown between COD pros and content creators.

The multiplayer reveal also showcased three new game modes. VIP Escort, Combined Arms, and Fireteam. During the gameplay showdown, Combined Arms Domination and VIP Escort were heavily focused upon. The description of the VIP Escort mode sounded promising and fun at first glance. Yet after six hours of gameplay experience, many opined that it did not live up to expectations.

Additionally, there were allegations that the game mode wasn’t all that ‘brand new’ anyway.

But for the King of Call Of Duty, any of this did not matter. Seth ‘Scump’ Abner of the Chicago Huntsmen was one of the participating pros. And with every game that he played, Scump only seemed to get better. It did not matter to him who he was playing against, as he rose to dominate in every single map.
