Detailed in a post on Treyarch’s website, the December 10 patch appears to be largely rebalancing tweaks. For example, scorestreak costs have risen for things like the Attack Helicopter and Chopper Gunner, while Napalm Strike received an all-around nerf. However, the most notable part of the update is the return of a fan favorite playlist - Nuketown 24/7. TheCall of Duty: Black Ops Cold Waredition of the famous map has proven popular since its release a few weeks ago, with many discoveringNuketown ‘84’s new Easter Egg. Nuketown 24/7 replaces Motherland Moshpit in the multiplayer featured playlists.
The new patch comes just 10 days after the lastBlack Ops Cold Warupdate that fixedNuketown ‘84’s out of bounds glitch. It’s currently unclear whether another patch will come December 16 for the game’s integration withCall of Duty: Warzone.Players should expect further fine-tuning in the coming months, as the patch’s footnotes reveal the updates may be changed or removed at any time.
The latest patch forCall of Duty: Black Ops Cold Warappears to address some minor gameplay issues. However, the consensus of theCoDcommunity is that the game is still lacking in content. Thankfully this is about to change, should the rumors be true. Season 1 is expected tobring back a popular game mode, and multiplayer is getting a map directly inspired fromBack to the Future.
The entireCall of Dutyfranchise is as popular as it’s ever been. BetweenBlack Ops Cold War,Modern Warfare,andWarzone,publisher Activision has reported over $3 billion in “net bookings.“With the launch of the next generation of consoles, the FPS video game series looks to grow even further. However, next-gen players beware, as many players have reported game-breaking issues, includingBlack Ops Cold Warbricking PS5s. Hopefully, Treyarch will have a patch for that too.
