New map and game modes
In Warzone the map has already been partially implemented, now Standoff is also available in Cold War as a stand-alone map. Back in Black Ops II the map was already highly popular so the current 24/7 playlist will most likely be full for the next couple days.
The Baseball Bat and AMP63 are coming later in the season! More details here:https://t.co/G4N3gzgVEb
Outbreak already introduced us to Duga, now the map is also available for play in regular multiplayer. The massive map can now be played in Multi-Team Modes.
The developers also introduce a brand new mode that can be classified as a “Mini Warzone”.
Multi-Team Elimination Mode features 40 players in the familiar Battle Royale environment spread over ten teams of four. The new mode will be available during the course of the week.
Another new mode is more closely linked to the action movie collaboration. “Die Hardpoint” is a new mode focused around Hardpoints to collect buffs. Further down the road a mode called Rambo’s Gun Game will complete the crossover modes.
Are sniper rifles now useless?
One aspect the developers focused on in the new update are the sniper rifles. Now you will flinch a lot more if you are hit while aiming, making it very difficult to still hit opponents if you are under fire.
Each sniper was also reworked individually. In general terms all weapons now have a lower aim speed, while the attachments were also adjusted. You can read the details here.
To bring the Swiss K31 on to the same viability as the other sniper rifles, it now has a 25% higher resistance to flinching under fire. This might turn the Swiss into the sniper of choice for the future.
But even with the Swiss the flinching is a signficant nerf to all snipers. While the weapons themselves have not really been weakened the changes will need some time to adjust to.
Similar to the sniper rifles the developers have also changed the assault rifles. All of them with the exception of the FFAR now have improved bullet speed. The AK47 profits the most off of these changes. To compensate the FFAR’s damage has been increased by 1 to 28, which makes her much more effective over short distances. This turns the weapon into a hybrid between assault rifles and machine pistols. All other assault rifles will now be more effective in long range battles.
Besides these changes the popular Zombie mode has also gotten new content, League Play was also changed among others. Pistols have also seen some changes, but those are mostly minor and should not make too much of a difference.
