Treyarch has released the full day one patch notes and fans noticed a nerf to one major problem from the beta. Thedevelopers ofCall of Duty: Black Ops Cold Warfixed the sliding exploitby reducing the slide’s distance and speed. It did not take long for players to realize that sliding was fast then sprinting in the beta, which resulted in soldiers sliding across the battlefield. This change helps align the slide with its true purpose: to be an escape mechanic.
To help solidify that aggressive sliding does not fall back into the meta, the developer has made firing a weapon at the end of a sprint faster than at the end of a slide. To helpplayers feel like they have not lost momentum, the developers have also increased all in-game mantling speeds.
This fix was necessary, as manyCall of Duty: Black Ops Cold Warfans were upset at the overpowered mechanic. Many encounters during the beta period met players with battles that were filled with exploited slide usage. Before the fix, the slide offered players extra distance, speed, and recovery, making it easy to close in on an enemy and turn the slide mechanic into an assault tactic.
There are other important changes coming to the game. A plethora of new weapons and attachments will be appearing in the Day One patch alongside an extended list of scorestreaks. Players are sure to seethe improvements forCall of Duty: Black Ops Cold Warand hopefully these changes will be enough to turn community support back into a positive outlook on this game.
Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold Waris set to launch on November 13 for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X.
