Black Ops Cold War fans seem to be tired of the current state of the game, despite a major recent update.
The last episode of the Call of Duty franchise is certainly a divider, and fans are quite unhappy. Modern Warfare fans, in general, seem to see Black Ops Cold War as a downgrade from the previous title.
Meanwhile, there are major complaints about the SBMM implementation of Black Ops Cold War and the lack of content that is delaying the game.
Although Black Ops Cold War is the best selling game of 2020, it seems that some fans are tired of playing. And that could spell disaster for Call of Duty 2021.
Cold War Black Ops players are tired
If you’ve ever taken a trip to the Black Ops Cold War subreddit, you know it’s a forum full of more than a few complaints. It seems that Black Ops Cold War fans got tired of Treyarch’s last title, after just two months of playing.
This is particularly worrying, given that Call of Duty games are designed to last for a year.
At the moment, the Modern Warfare player count is still incredibly high, and it’s probably because many fans won’t make the switch. And even those who do are not always happy about it.
On some recent topics on Reddit, users are complaining a lot about the state of the Cold War Black Ops.
“I have been playing and it looks like this game is sucking my soul. Three days are worth a mp and it’s the same repetitive thing to run for a headglitch,” says a Reddit user. “And if that’s not bad enough, if I do two well, the game thinks I’m the next Scump that [SBMM] comes to surprise me in those sweaty lobbies, where all I see are CDL skins sitting in the corner of G-Fuel and adderall. “
Of course, Reddit as a whole tends to thrive on negativity, and there are many thousands of fans probably enjoying the Cold War as well.
But it is clear that several of the most dedicated players in the game are talking openly about their disgust.
Another Reddit user asks other players if anyone is really enjoying Black Ops Cold War.
“I tried to give this game a try when all my friends told me how shitty a dog was, but I didn’t want to give up … Roll in January 2021 and I really struggle to play a multiplayer game, I don’t want to I don’t know what it is, but I just can’t play this game of sweat right now. “
It seems that a large part of the players’ complaints come from the Black Ops Cold War Skill-Based Matchmaking game. Other users have problems with weapon balance or lack of content, but SBMM is by far the biggest factor.
How to enjoy the Black Ops Cold War in 2021?
Some commentators have a solution for those who are not enjoying the Cold War Black Ops. If you’re finding yourself dying for ‘sweaty’ lobbies, filled with players with first-rate weapons, Hardcore is the way for you.
Hardcore not only makes the game much more realistic, but it also makes almost all weapons viable in the formation of matches. What’s more, it can be a breath of fresh air for players who don’t like Cold War Time To Kill.
Other players report that Black Ops Cold War Zombies is the best part of the game. However, we will have to wait another month for the second map of Black Ops Cold War Zombies.
Here’s everything we know about Firebase Z in the Cold War.
For those upset by the lack of Black Ops Cold War content, you won’t have to wait long for more. After all, Cold War Season 1 Reloaded is bringing a new map and even more ways to play.
And the new leaked content reveals that Black Ops Cold War also has more field updates on the way.
