Black Ops Cold War AlphaCoders

Call of Duty Black Ops Cold War was released a few weeks ago. It’s not wrong to say that the game has suffered from some issues since being released. Developer Treyarch has released a massive update last week that made tons of changes to fix these glaring problems. The multiplayer mode especially received lots of balancing changes.

Several weapons and Scorestreaks were tweaked to make them more balanced. Multiple bugs regarding different maps and modes were also looked into. The overall stability of Black Ops Cold War has been increased and multiple crash issues are solved. You can also redeem a free Nuketown bundle for your weapons. Give your weapons that nostalgic feel by claiming the bundle before December 3.

      • Added more character to initial recoil by tweaking several bullet trajectories. (While this doesn’t affect the vertical/horizontal control stats in Gunsmith, this change makes it more difficult to stay on target by adjusting the trajectories of several bullets in the initial firing experience.)
