Treyarch recently unveiled the highly anticipated Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War Multiplayer Mode. The reveal was largely successful and managed to impress the fans with new game modes, combat style changes, and more. A lot of streamers and influencers already had access to the same, and have shared their thoughts on social media.

Popular Streamer Jack ‘CouRage’ Dunlop was one of those who got early access. Consequently, he voiced his opinion on the same.

One major takeaway from this was that the game isn’t even out yet and there’s already a gun that’s overpowered.

This was indeed an honest verdict of the multiplayer. The new ‘VIP Escort’ mode definitely looked interesting in the reveal. But considering CouRage mentioned that it’s not good after having played, it raises some serious questions.

Thankfully, there was an announcement for an Open Beta. This was probably done to ensure the game is bug-free. Additionally, the pros and influencers would’ve definitely given their feedback to the developers to help them improve the game.

Major additions and changes to Call Of Duty Black Ops Cold War

The preview also revealed 5 new maps coming to the game. They were Satellite, Armada, Crossroads, Moscow, and Miami. Each map brought something different to the table and let players choose different strategies. From long-range combat to stealth, these maps made it all possible.

Moreover, the combat system and operators also received an upgrade. The Operators’ movements and the guns’ recoil patterns were tweaked to feel realistic.

In addition to this, Wildcards also made a comeback to the game.  This was a prominent feature of the previous Black Ops title whose return could change things up for competitive COD. And last but not the least, an upgraded Scorestreak system also made its way into the game.

The official Treyarch blog also announced “…post-launch Multiplayer maps and modes will be free for all players, and the game will feature a unified progression journey shared with Call of Duty: Warzone, adding inventory items that can be used in both titles. Both games will also share post-launch content from a narrative standpoint, interweaving some of the themes, weapons, and Operators of Black Ops Cold War into Warzone.”

Overall, Black Ops Cold War’s multiplayer reveal was more or less successful. The upcoming Zombies Mode also didn’t get any announcements during the stream. A future event for announcing the same could be in the works.
