Weapon upgrading will take an indecently long time

One of the favorite activities of Call of Duty fans is to pump weapons to the maximum and unlock as many camouflages as possible for them. If it is not possible to spend three to four hours a day in the game, then in Black Ops Cold War you may have problems. Even if you destroy opponents on each map, in one match you will raise a maximum of one and a half levels of weapons. It’s best to play Dominate or Control modes and try to capture as many zones with your team as possible in order to earn experience. If you don’t care how to upgrade your weapon, then the zombie mode is most suitable for this, which we will talk about later.

It will take a lot of effort to complete the missions to unlock camouflages. This time, the developers did a good job so that the players had to spend as much time as possible on this matter, but there are also quite absurd tests. For example, to open one of the camouflages, you need to kill five opponents 20 times in one life. If you just run around the map and shoot enemies, you will hardly be able to get five frags in a row. To complete this task as quickly as possible, you will have to sit in some corner with the confidence that you will not be killed in the back, and this game style is certainly not about Call of Duty. It is clear that all these challenges are made to make it interesting for players to achieve some goals, but such tasks break the gameplay and unnerve, forcing desperate measures to get beautiful camouflages.

For obtaining 35 styles for one weapon, you can unlock a gold camouflage. If you complete this task with five weapons of the same type, then the diamond style will become available. The most difficult thing is to unlock the “Dark Matter Ultra” camouflage, as for this you will have to upgrade all types of weapons to “diamond”. This style looks the most interesting to me.

Major changes after beta testing

Instead of kill streaks, Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War uses scoring – a series of points that allow you to call an artillery strike, a radio machine, etc. Points can be scored for kills and other actions, for example, for capturing points. Used skorstrik “recharged”, so spam them will not work. With the release of the game, the number of points that are required to open the speedstrik began to be displayed. The developers also added six new types of eyewear series, including the Care Package and Armor.

In beta, the slide was too fast, making it difficult to catch up with the enemy. Many were unhappy with this mechanic. The developers recognized that this feature should help the player to maneuver, and not run, so they reduced the distance and sliding speed. It’s cool that the authors of Black Ops Cold War listen to the community.

Death replay now shows enemy build. In the upper right corner, it is indicated from which weapon the kill was made, what attachments, perks and equipment the player had. If you are wondering why you could not shoot your opponent, how his weapon was better than yours, and what perks helped him survive, the information in the death replay will help you figure it out.

What else needs to be worked on?

MP5 requires a nerf. At the moment, this submachine gun is stronger than any other weapon in one-on-one firefight, which is why most players run around with it in every match. This, of course, is wrong, as there must be interest in using other weapons as well. Nowadays, players don’t have much choice, as it is the easiest way to kill with the MP5. The developers have already paid attention to the problem, but said that it is too early to balance weapons and draw conclusions, and therefore the changes will most likely appear only with the start of the first season – in December.

Need more cards. Yes, over time, more and more of them will appear, but at the start, eight multiplayer maps are very few. If Miami is proposed in the card vote, the majority will choose it. And this is quite justified, because she really deserves attention, but at the same time, it can quickly get bored. Since the release, only two new maps have become available – Checkmate and Garrison, all the others we have already seen in beta. Call of Duty fans were waiting for the classic Nuketown, but the developers decided to postpone its release.

The problems with the visibility of the players are still not resolved. The enemy model is difficult to see in darkened corners on maps. Call of Duty fans suggest a simple solution: add more light to such places. Yes, perhaps the lighting there will not look entirely appropriate, but it will not spoil the overall impression of the gameplay.

Bugs and freezes have not gone anywhere. Fortunately, I was never kicked out of the game, but there were many cases when I could not join the server, experience for the match was not counted, or an ally’s resuscitation message hung on the screen.

Zombie Mode

This is one of the reasons why fans have been so excited for the new Black Ops. There are two game modes available in the “Zombies” section – Die Maschine and “Deadly Fun”. I’ll start with the second. This is the third part of a top-down co-operative arcade game. In it you need to survive, collect points and complete levels on the “Coming of Mother” map. The mode is pretty simple and fun, but after a couple of runs it starts to get boring.

The main zombie mode is Die Maschine. Players take on the role of Requiem agents, whose task is to investigate and contain supernatural anomalies around the world. So far, only one map is available in this mode, but it contains many interesting objects. The main task of the mode is to cope with waves of zombies while exploring the area along the way.

There are six perks available in the game to help you survive. For example, “jagger fanta” can increase maximum health, and “stamina cocktail” can increase running speed. Killed zombies drop various series of points, equipment and resources, thanks to which you can create unique items on workbenches. Starting on the tenth, every five rounds, it becomes possible to take advantage of the evacuation. After its activation, a helicopter arrives, to which you need to get and then kill all the zombies, otherwise it will not be able to land and pick you up. Evacuation is needed to earn bonus Aether Crystals – they are used to upgrade weapons, perks and field modifications.

In zombie mode, players have different fun. Some are trying to find the Easter eggs that the developers have hidden. Others are trying to break the record for surviving waves of zombies. Still others just want to unlock new operatives or collect crystals in order to maximize their equipment.

By the way, about the Easter eggs. One of them opens with the zombie dance, which includes the popular Coffin Dance meme – a special thanks to the developers for such a funny moment. Finding this easter egg isn’t easy, thanks to the reddit users for the tip. It’s hard to imagine how they managed to open it.
