Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War received an update yesterday that brought some welcome changes to the game. One recently added weapon was tweaked and several game modes were changed. League Play also received a few additions in the map pool.
The E-Tool melee weapon is buffed significantly, now a 1-hit-kill weapon instead of a 2-hit. Melee swipe time is reduced as well and movement speed is increased. The classic Stockpile game mode is added to the game along with Knife Fight 3v3. In the latter game mode, both teams will only use melee weapons, and the first team to win six rounds takes the match.
A new Quick Play playlist, Combined Arms Moshpit, is now available to MP. It includes the Combined Arms version of Hardpoint, Domination, and Assault. The update makes changes to League Play and Zombie playlist as well. You can read about these changes below.
