For multiplayer, players can expect adjusted spawn logic for the Hardpoint game mode. This is designed to create more action in the mode, where players do not have to travel as far to get to each objective. Spawn adjustments have also been made for Crossroads Strike and Armada Strike. There was also a glitch in which the Flak Jacket perk did not properly protect players in Hardcore mode, and this has been addressed. Fans can also look forward to playingNuketown 84 inCall of Duty: Black Ops Cold Wartomorrow, a new map to the game that is a reimagining of a fan-favorite. A new map and some game fixes and adjustments is a good recipe for an improved experience.
The update also addresses UI issues inFireteam: Dirty Bomb inBlack Ops: Cold War.The cooperative and team-based mode pits multiple teams of four against each other on a massive map. It also uses elements fromWarzone,including armor plates and parachuting.
The Zombies mode receives some love in this patch as well. There are some greatPerks and Field Upgrades in Black Ops Cold War Zombies, but some fans noticed a bug with the Feild Upgrades that has now been fixed.
