Call of Dutyfans on PS4 have now had two opportunities to test theCall of Duty: Black Ops Cold Warmultiplayer. Treyarch made some significant changes to theCall of Duty: Black Ops Cold Warmultiplayer after the alpha test, and one has to imagine that changes will be implemented based on fan feedback to the beta as well. Two-timeCall of DutyWorld Champion ACHES has offered his two-cents on the matter, revealing 11 changes that he wants to see “to make the game as competitive as possible for the 2021 season.”
ACHES begins hisCall of Duty: Black Ops Cold Warrecommendations with a disclaimer that he is not a game developer and does not know if the changes he wants to see be made would even be possible since the game is so late in development. He also went out of his way to point out things that he enjoys aboutBlack Ops Cold War, like the maps,Gunsmith, and general gunplay. That being said, ACHES does believe that there is some room for improvement, and this is what he would like to see change.

ACHES thinks thatCall of Duty: Black Ops Cold War’s slide mechanicsneed adjusted so that sliding is slower, shorter, and players are forced to slide fully. Right now, there is an exploit inBlack Ops Cold Warthat players can abuse to slide indefinitely, so this recommendation definitely makes a lot of sense. As far as movement in general goes, ACHES believesBlack Ops Cold Warwould benefit from a movement speed buff.
Other changes ACHES wants to see inBlack Ops Cold Warinclude a complete overhaul of the Duster Stock and a buff for theNinja perk, which is something that has been echoed by other professional players. ACHES would also make changes to grenades and throwable weapons in general by shortening the distance they can be thrown. He would also like to see EMP Grenades and the Hardwired perk fromBlack Ops 2make a comeback.
More changes ACHES wants to see includes a revamp ofCall of Duty: Black Ops Cold War’s wildcard system as it’s “WAY too good” right now, a slight tweak to jump shotting so that guns don’t bounce so much when jumping and landing, as well as stim shot restrictions. And finally, ACHES has recommendations that would be restricted to competitive play only, like nerfing trophy systems and changing the wayBlack Ops Cold Warscorestreakswork.
Whether or notTreyarchimplements any of the changes recommended by ACHES or otherBlack Ops Cold Warplayers remains to be seen.
Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold Warlaunches November 13 for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X.
