This makes a huge difference, especially in competitive scenarios. Although, this was not the only change made. The multiplayer reveal also introduced an enhanced movement system for the operators. For instance, the sliding was shown to end up with the player in the crouched position. Additionally, jumping slowed down the players momentarily to make it more realistic. To improve the game’s overall combat experience, the developers also tweaked the gun movements in the game.
The changes made to Black Ops Cold War were evidently based on user feedback. The developers proved that they listened to the fans’ complaints and acted upon it. This definitely made the game a lot more interesting and less broken than its predecessor. Besides this, this change also made life easy for pro players. The game will definitely be well received with all these changes when it launches on November 13.
